I dunno yet. I guess that'll depend if the other devs think it's a widespread enough glitch to be labeled "code-breaking" and not just "bug-fixing". Honestly, I don't think many folks will be affected by the change. How many people are adding &HFFFF + &HFFFFFFFF without already using suffixes?
It has the *potential* to be code breaking, thus the early mention to see who all it might impact, but I really don't think we'll see a lot of people needing to change things to accommodate it.
In hex, the values don't really change. &HFF000000 OR &HFF will still result in the same &HFF0000FF. It's just those values are now signed instead of unsigned and that could affect things unintentionally, so-- at the least -- a sturdy warning is warranted, in my opinion, even if we don't get a full version bump from it.
