New Pbasic editor
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Does anyone know exactly when the new editor is supposed to be
released? I'm part of the F.I.R.S.T. robotics competition and we
only have a six weeks building period that started yesturday, and
the default code for the control systems was written in Pbasic 2.5.
None of us have anything that will tokenize the program because of
the new commands. Does anyone have any early release, or know for
sure when the new version will be released? Thanks!

testing yet to do (adding conditional compilation control so you can write
one program that will work on the any BS2-family Stamp you have -- this is
for advanced programmers) and the Help file has to be updated and recompiled.
That is underway.
In short, we still have a bit of work to do.
I can assure you that hundreds of FIRST robots have been successfully
programmed with the existing syntax. I'm not sure who gave you a default
program using 2.5 syntax because we haven't released all the details ... just
hints here and there to keep our customers abreast of current developments.

2.5 syntax. We must have sent an early version of the new compiler (sans new
help and all features enabled) to the folks who run FIRST.
I MAKE NO PROMISES HERE ... but I will check with Engineering to see how
early we can get a public BETA release. IF (and that's a big IF) we do, it
will not include new help -- just a quick update of new additions.
