I noticed that the parser changed a bit. While (in <2.4) expressions 
such as
   fn=. (a;b)::''
used to work, now this produces spelling errors and you must use
   fn=. (a;b) ::''
I think this is because ) changed due to line labels, so j looks for
): if there is no space. A small price to pay for line labels.
