Can you explain why, in Julia 1.0.3, this code gives error:
> A = “”
>
> for x in [1, 2, 3] if 1 == 1 A \*= “…” end end
I tested in Julia 1.5, where it works as expected, but I want to work more with a stable version.

New features are purposefully not added to 1.0. That’s why it is a more stable version. If you want a very stable release with all the new features, you should be using the released version (currently 1.5.3)

See [Unexpected scope issue](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/unexpected-scope-issue/30145) and [https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/28789](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/28789) and a gazillion other threads here on discourse.
BTW, IMO this question doesn’t belong into “Internals & Design” but rather into “Usage” or similar.
