Very good work! Makes it possible to make even better for by us also. Quite a multifunctional success.

I enjoyed swimming on Platform Builder 6.0 new features (with swimming I mean exploring a little). I'm very surprised with the new features, I love them a lot! Thank you, Ting Thing!

Hey Antikore! Long time no see! Glad to have you back! I did help some with some of the new features, and got to pre-test 6.0!
And Ting, 6.0 is probably the second best update ever!

The word "Ground" is spelled "gound" and your missing the "d" when saying that the example file is updated.
