Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

[doc hawk via use-livecode]

michael mentioned,

> Yesterday I downloaded SuperCard 4.8.1 Trail wich still is maintained.

I still have my SuperCard 1.5 install disks . . . 

I bought it because it could have two windows open at once.

When HyperCard 2.0 came out, it did everything I needed from supercard, but 
there was no back-export available

So some new things got converted to hypercard, using the basic engine I’d 
written, but I didn’t feel like writing the script to turn every object in the 
stack into a text list of its properties and another to create the new 
hypercard stack.

When I started on this project, yikes, a decade ago now, I did manage to 
partway navigate the chain to loading the old stacks, but it was an odd dance 
involving an old MacClassic and reading Mac disks on a freebsd floppy . . . if 
the scsi Zip drive hadn’t failed, it would;d have been a lot easier to transfer 
. . .

Thank you for reminding me.  I still have a few emails from the old SC 
list. I just did a dive into that archive and found fragments of a 
thread between you and me and Grant Schampel (I sure do miss that man).


Kinda cool how paths cross and cross again, bound together over decades 
through the bond of sharing scripting.



And FWIW "ky" might just be the best spelled-out form of 
the modem connect sound I've seen. :)

Supercard is no longer very super (remember playing around with it in 1994)
as it is 32-bit MacOS only.

The transition to AS Mac OS will be pretty seamless. XCode flags up most of
the code base that needs modding.

Where it might fall over for us is if we use old widgets that won't get
updated for any potential MacOS code deprecations.

But LC, I'm sure, will keep up-to-date (ish) as we see already. LC probably
performs better than the previous Intel Mac equivalent on the newer
machines.

I look forward to the day I can transition to an ARM based Mac. Those puppies 
are amazingly fast and it’s unlikely Windows machines will be competitive at 
the same price point. But … I’ll be using my Mac Book Air for years to come, 
it’s only 6 years old.

I am afraid i am at a crossroads now.
Unfortunately prices for Mac hardware increased over the years. I will 
definitely not buy a M1 Mac.
I will use my iMac as long as i get updates for macOS and will then switch back 
completely to Windows.
Most of the software  i am using is available for macOS and Windows. Okay 
Ulysses is one of the programs i will be definitely missing when going back to 
Windows.
But i am sure i will find an alternative. Maybe Obsidian, currently not as good 
as Ulysses, but i'll see.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hello Andre,

The current x86_64 (i.e. Intel-based) build of LiveCode, as well as any
x86_64 standalones created by it, are expected to run seamlessly on M1
Macs, via "Rosetta" (i.e. the translation/compatibility layer that enables
a M1 Mac to run apps built for an Intel-based Mac). The M1 Mac will ask you
if you want to install Rosetta the first time you try to launch an app made
for Intel.

What is not supported though, yet, are native ARM LiveCode builds, that
will be able to create ARM standalones for M1 Macs. This is in our TODO
list, but I cannot provide an ETA for this.

Hope this helps :)

Cheers,
Panos

Hi Panos,

Is there a potential ETA for M1 support?
