I did a quick Google search for "infinite livecode" and the first 
result was this page, which offers both a high-level summary and some 
technical details:



Included in those search results were these blog posts which offer 
more info:

At the risk of sounding mind-blowingly stupid (hey, recently I've done 
that several times, so one more time
shouldn't hurt that much) I would be really very grateful indeed if 
someone could exlplain in very simple terms what including Infinite 
LiveCode capability actually means.


Come to think of things, there may be other people "out there" who don't 
really understand that either.

Hi Tiemo,

  From LiveCode 9 onwards, we will use a simplified numbering scheme:

- If we add anything new or make any backward-incompatible change:
increment first number, reset second number to 0

- If we fix bugs in a backwards-compatible way: keep first number, increment
second number

I explained this in the blog post that I wrote about the LiveCode 9 DP 1
release: https://livecode.com/whats-new-in-livecode-9-dp-1/

The new features in LiveCode 9 will include Infinite LiveCode capability,
with _at least_ the ability to integrate LCB code directly with Java
libraries (such as Android APIs).

AW: LC 9 has all the improvements of the LC 8.1 series, yes?

2016-11-29 Thread Tiemo Hollmann TB
Reading the release notes of LC 9 there is a major difference between 8 and
9. That is the platform backward compatibility. I know, that Windows XP is
out of date and not any more patched by MS, but I still have quite a number
of customers, running offline computers with XP. Good to read the release
notes carefully.

Hi James,

Yes, this is true. If you do not see a particular fix in LC 9 but you do
see it in 8.1.x, this means that something went wrong when we merged LC
8.1.x branch into LC 9 branch. So if this is the case, please file a bug
report so as we fix it asap.

Best regards,
Panos
