Do you need to update a ZX-24n to version 3.0?

No, native mode devices don't need to be updated like the VM mode devices do. If you use the installer for the compiler, etc. to install an updated compiler you'll also typically get an updated ZX Library which is used to build native mode applications. All that is necessary after the update is to re-compile your application and download it to the native mode device.

Occasionally, we release a ZX Library update separate from a compiler update. These are typically packaged in a .zip file and it is only necessary to extract the contents of that .zip file into the zxlib subdirectory of the ZBasic installation directory in order to begin using the update on your next compile run.

It is important to note that it is often the case that a newer version of the ZX Library won't work correctly with an older version of the compiler and vice versa. In situations such as this we usually put a note in the changes.txt file indicating that an incompatibility exists with older versions.
