Various Bugs, all to be fixed in next release
Description Version Affected Work Around / Fix

RAD51 IDE crashes after a few build cycles. Fortunately the open files are saved before the crash. You can just restart RAD51 and keep going. It's annoying, though. Sorry. 1.0.8 and earlier Will be fixed in next release, when we find out what's doing this.

.prj file seems to be pretty fragile. Any "corruption" of it will cause RAD51 to crash ungracefully when attempting to open the project. 1.0.8 and earlier Delete the existing PRJ file and create a new one.

Copying PRJ files to a folder where project paths are no longer valid will cause RAD51 to crash ungracefully when attempting to open the project. 1.0.8 and earlier Don't copy PRJs which have absolute paths for the output files to another folder.

IF pseudo op can not be in column 1 but ENDIF can. Shouldn't matter which column they are in. 1.0.8 and earlier Keep IF out of column 1 until next release

variables, keywords, pseudo ops and other labels are case sensitive. Should not be case sensitive. 1.0.8 and earlier watch the case of these. Next release will have a switch to control case sensitivity.
