[2.28] Compatibility report and #BREAK
 
Compatibility report suggest that command #BREAK is not supported.
This is just an obsolete message or should I really trust it?
I mean #BREAK out of a loop.

The compatability report doesn't know about all the new commands, it's a known bug. I guess this is another one it doesn't know about.

Well, it reports that because it assumes you are running the compatibility report on imported zMUD scripts, and the #BREAK command in zMUD performed a completely different function (setting a breakpoint for the debugger). So if someone has a #BREAK command in their zMUD script, it is very important to flag that as a possible compatibility problem.

So this isn't actually related to the "bug" that Fang was mentioning. The actual bug in past versions was that the new #PRINT command was being confused with the #PRIORITY command, which the compatibility report was testing using the pattern "#PRI". I changed the pattern to "#PRI[^N]" in 2.28 so that bug is fixed.

Reporting the #BREAK command as a *possible* compatibility issue is not a bug.
