Hello,
Would it be possible to have a list of all syntax changes from Inquisit 4 to 5?

In few occasion the script that were compatible with 4 are no longer working with the version 5 and having a list of all changes will save us a lot of time. What I remembered to have changed so far was valid response when using cedrus response box and "constat".

Generally speaking, there should be no Inquisit 4 syntax that does not work under Inquisit 5. I'm not sure what issue you have run into.

It happened in two occasion that I had to change the scripts to make them work. In both occasions the scripts were working fine with version4.

One example is vadiresponse --> isvalidresponse; another that I have recently seen is that "constant" does not work in version5 and needs to be replaced with the number itself.

That should only happen when going from Inquisit 5 down to Inquisit 4, not the other way around.
