The Timer Example fails for me with an unknown branch error.
I tried using a different simplified branch name, but still gives a branching error.
Is timer duration [branch] broken in ESP Basic 2.0.Alpha 7, or has the syntax changed?

Code: Select all

Timer Example

    timer 5000 [do.some.stuff] 
    print "going to do some stuff in a bit" 
    button "Click me to exit" [Exit.ThisThing] 
    wait 

    [do.some.stuff] 
    print "Doing Some Stuff" 
    wait 
    
    [Exit.ThisThing] 
    end

timer command is different now.

old syntax

Code: Select alltimer 10000 [branch]

new syntax

Code: Select alltimer 10000, [branch]

Ta.
Did the additional comma just creep in unwanted, in which case it is likely to dissapear again in a future version?
Or is there a reason the comma was added as an additional delimiter, and does it similarly change the syntax of any other commands?

It was required to make an expression able to be used for the timer duration.
