This is probably an FYI only, not a bug. Discovered while testing ports from EWB2 > EWB3.

It appears that EWB2 used to allow a carriage return in a string, but EWB3 does not (does not compile).

Snippet below.. compiles/runs in EWB2, but not in EWB3:

showMessage('i eat bananas every day
  of the year');

I decided to go back in Delphi to check the behavior there.. and Delphi does not permit carriage returns either. So perhaps EWB3 is in good company.

Obviously easy to work around.

Personal opinion but I think this should not be allowed by compiler so i
think EWB3 is correct

It actually does permit it, architecturally, but I had to make a point to turn it off in order to be more compatible with Delphi.
