Changes in pre4:

• The syntax highlighting and error detection in the editor is way better, as is the parentheses and ?: matching. The syntax highlighting will also highlight obvious errors (mismatched () etc).
• Literal strings are no longer mutable, you can't change them, you can only read from them.
• If you wish to use a temporary mutable string, you can use # -- the value is only guaranteed to be preserved for the current section, and could be undefined on the next call. Examples:

  str = #;
  sprintf(str, "the value of foo is %{foo}f");
  gfx_draw(str);

  or
  

  str = sprintf(#, "the value of foo is %{foo}f");
  gfx_draw(str);

  or
  

  gfx_draw(sprintf(#, "the value of foo is %{foo}f"));

• If you wish to have named, persistent, more predictable strings, which also appear in the watch window, you can use #name.

    strcpy(#mystring, "hello world");
    gfx_draw(#mystring);
    sprintf(#otherstring, "hello: %{#mystring}s");

  You can also do things like:

    s = #mystring;
    strcpy(s,"hello");

  Also, I should mention that if a #string is on the left side of = or +=, it will alias to strcpy() or strcat(), so for example:

    #str = "hello";
    s = "world";
    #str += " ";
    #str += s;
    // #str is now "hello world"

• Another thing that changed is you can no longer have expressions like:

  1=2;

  This was rarely used, but it breaks two plug-ins (Jonas DrumReaplacer and Vmorph). You can still have more complex expressions like (1 ? 2 : 3) = 4, which is equally meaningless...
