Kits are a very low-level part of Inform, and errors like this will only I’ll note this small difference in behavior 'cause someone else will hit it at some point… I got errors like this: >-> I ran into a mistake in the source code for a kit: kit source error inįunction 'random': unexpected '('. Things I learned compiling the Friends of I7 extensions with the new Inform:
Once we had the Jira tracker up, I took a deep breath before wading into the big pile of bugs, not sure how awful it would all be, but the experience wasn’t so awful after all - the story I’d been telling myself for years about how the rewrite of the compiler would make maintenance easier turned out to be more or less true. In retrospect, I think v9.3 (as we must now call 6M62…) was in reasonably good condition. Otherwise, almost everything reported was really a bit of an edge case - good to fix, but unlikely to affect many people. The most important was to do with failing to punctuate “if” and “repeat” lines with a colon at the end and using a semicolon instead - a very easy thing to do by accident, and which newcomers to Inform often get wrong - where the compiler was responding very badly (I think it gave an internal error) rather than giving a sensible problem message. It’s true that, as Zed says, hundreds of bugs have been fixed, but although there were a lot of reported issues, there were really only a couple which were at all serious.
