Hi John,

Am running IDE version 2.0.2. build 17

If you happen to forget the XTAL declare, when you perform the compile the IDE reports:
"Compilation Failed"
"Unable to create new Assembler or Hex file"

Fortunately running the compile with the original Proton IDE gave me the error:
"No xtal declare used in the program..........."

I was in a hurry and made a silly mistake so had me head scratching for a while.

Other than some behaviour around the tabs I'm not a fan off, this release has been rock solid so brilliant work.

Regards,
Joe
