I fully agree to the above.

In my case an existing program coming from a stable development 
environment worked well on the master but when I added an

if ... then

...

End if

inside a Sub, the program threw an End-Error. As I wasn't aware of the 
recent modification and couldn't find what was causing this, I had to 
return to the stable to make this little modification. This may now 
happen with hundreds of programs I wrote with Gambas.

I regard this as serious breach of the Basic programming philosophy and 
a massive threat to the maintainability of existing programs resp. 
backwards compatibility.

If this persists I will have to freeze my stable development environment.

Best regards
