Error: STRING CONSTant (solved)

[zarsoft]

This line:

CONST E$ TYPE STRING = "..."

Gives this error:

"Initializer expression is not constant."

This is a BUG. Thanks for reporting it.
Will keep you updated.

That said, the correct syntax is:

Code:

CONST E As String = "..."

works, thanks

Please use the latest beta from the other thread, not this one.
This fix was already released in final version.

[zarsoft]

OK Thanks.

Is there any way for me to receive notification whenever a new version comes out?
What is the thread that announces new versions?

[boriel]

We have a Telegram Channel (Spanish, mostly) for that, mostly for beta versions.
For final versions,. you can track Mastodon official account:
https://fosstodon.org/@zxbasic since I've decided to left Twitter (now X)
Also there's #boriel channel in Discord ZX Next official.

Most of the updates are made because of the Wishlist forum or the Bug Reports forum.
Forum › Compilers and Computer Languages › ZX Basic Compiler › Wishlist
Forum › Compilers and Computer Languages › ZX Basic Compiler › Bug Reports

For me it would be simpler if the new versions were announced here.

So, all I had to do was subscribe to the Wishlist forum or the Bug Reports forum to find out when the new versions were available.
