For those that did not know, there were two breaking changes made in recent versions of Euphoria. They are the much talked about switch statement, then also the fixing of the while/entry clause.

New eubins for all platforms (DOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and SunOS) are all available on eubins. These can save you time, or you can read about the thread referenced below for instructions on how to compile your own version.

The announcement of the Switch Change can be read here: ATTN Euphoria 4.0 users/testers

The change with the while loop was done to be consistent with other areas of Euphoria. The old syntax was: 

while 1 entry do 
  .. block .. 
entry 
  .. block .. 
end while

The new syntax now requires the keyword with to be added to the main while statement: 

while 1 with entry do 
  .. block .. 
entry 
  .. block .. 
end while
