Hello there,
I just noticed some changes in scripting during the upgrade from Bit 8.1 1023 to 9.0 1012
Those changes are not documented in the changelog / manual - or only partly:
"SETUSB 2" doesnt work anymore , instead i'll have to write "SETUSB NUMBER 2"
Even though the changelog noticed some USB-parameters where added, it nowhere states that there are script breaking changes. SETUSB 2 will now produce an error.
I do understand why you've added the other parameters, but the "Number" parameter is somehow pointless - it's script breaking, producing more code, and doesn't have any adavantage over the old syntax.
"SETSERIALPORTS DISABLE yes" doesn't work anymore, not even the example from current BIT 9.0 manual. Instead i have to write "SERSERIALPORTS DISABLERTS yes DISABLEDSR yes" The "FLOWCONTROL" parameter has just gone.
So for me there is no actuall problem, i'll just have to change a lot of stuff.
Anyway, would be nice to have a big red warning in the changelogs whenever there are some script-breaking changes. Also the manual is not up-to-date. (Serialport example)
Thanks
