Breaking Changes

• constants.txt in edit modes are converted from a dictionary to the source file implicitly included during compilation. On practice it should not affect users but if you are using modified constants.txt you will need to wrap the content of this file in const..end:

Before 3.7.0

false=0
true=1
TIMERA=32@
TIMERB=33@

After 3.7.0

const
false=0
true=1
TIMERA=32@
TIMERB=33@
end

• Variable @sb:\ used in modes.xml has been replaced with @sb: to better handle cases where the trailing slash is not needed.

v3.7.0-alpha.0 is available for preview:

By no means this is feature complete and it doesn't include all planned changes. But this is the way for me to get early feedback and fine-tune things before the release. Please comment 👍

[x87]

Observation 1: changing constants.txt to an implicit include file broke the SCM file header compilation. Compiler expects DEFINE lines to be the very first.
Observation 2: alpha version string is too long to fit into 24 characters limit for the object 0.

Fixed in v3.7.0-alpha.1

@x87 Currently switching from other modes to VC Mobile mode, there will be a delayed unresponsive state, wait for a period of time to switch to this mode normally, and use this mode to create new text and write cleo, there will still be unresponsive delays. In addition. You seem to forget to add the gxt file of VCM.

There should be a bug. In the SB setting, the label format setting and the case conversion setting seem to be unable to coexist. When setting either case conversion, we will not be able to choose to set the label format. You can take a look

@x87 2 suggestions:

1. We should set the "write opcodes" setting to open by default , so that the player can correctly display the standard OP description syntax when decompiling

2. Gosub still displays the abbreviated label () when "write opcodes" is decompiled. This problem has been reported by many people.

there was no GXT file in sannybuilder/data#11 which I just merged as is. I don't think I have this file. If you can open another PR with this file I'm happy to add that in.

great catch! I will look into it

I noticed that too. I think it happens as Sanny scans ide files to get a list of models for autocomplete. If we had one single file with all models it would load much faster.

In this branch, in my second reply, there is a zip file download. Although it is an old file, it contains a gxt file, which you can add to the sb directory. In addition, it also has two different sizes of icons for the VC mobile version, which you can use as icons for sb's VCM mode

Can you accept the file now

Yes I downloaded it, thanks. Just removed those comments as they don't seem relevant.
