*sighs*, still not out, and i was really looking forward to a caffeine-fueled binge of trying to get code to tokenize correctly under the 2.5 compiler.

Am I missing something or did Innovation FIRST just change something on their Documentation page? Earlier today, I would have sworn it had some text in the programming section that said they would be posting the new beta soon, and now it just says to see Parallax's site for the latest version, which is 2.0 over there... I don't think that is a good sign.

I just checked, and as far as I can see, the text saying "PBASIC 2.5 Editor will be available soon." is still there. Its right beside the "PBASIC 2.5 Stamp Editor for Windows" text in the first column.

It still says the same thing it did 12 hours ago "PBASIC 2.5 Editor will be available soon." to me.

Hrm, yeah, my computer was displaying a very old version of the page for some reason, which is pretty odd, since I saw the newer version earlier today. Very strange.

:(
This would be a perfect Friday for an all-night programming episode.

P.S. Has anyone else noticed the "Test" link on the Innnovation First Website on the Documents Page. (It's at the very bottom)?

Its probably for employees

http://www.innovationfirst.com/FIRSTRobotics/(Insert Password here)/index.html

it MIGHT have the PBASIC 2.5 Editor, hehe....

quick someone guess the password, Just kidding,

How long has the test link been there? Maybe it is new, and they are making progress on posting the new editor!

Maybe we should all just give up and program our bots in C \ C++...

Or we can all just wait and hope parallax\InnovationFIRST hurries up with 2.5.

sigh... This is kind of bugging me... I have half the program worked out in 2.5 already, and no way to debug it... I really don't want to convert it to 2.0, only to convert it back to 2.5 later....

You know that as soon as one of us does a major conversion to 2.0 they'll release 2.5... Who wants to take one for the team?

First of all, you can debug 2.5 code in RoboEmu. It will even give marginally helpful feedback about malformed syntax, so you can check that too.

Second, I may write a quick converter tonight since it shouldn't take more than an hour or so if I just make it a console app. Only time will tell.

Really? Wow! THanks so much Rob, your really a major resource for the whole community!

"test" link
 

Hmmm... I'm thinking (hoping) that each team will soon get a password, and that will be our way in to downloading the new compiler. Cross your fingers.

Umm, well I think tehre will be only one password.

I wouldn't really call it a password anyhow. It's a directory. It just opens http://www.innovationfirst.com/USFirst/(directory)/index.html

And if the window title says "Access Granted" then it does not redirect you.

Well its now over two days late. Now I would like to change my answer to the poll. Oh well, I still hope it will be out sometime next week:( .
