Re: numToChar and HTML5 ?

2014-08-16 Thread Roger Eller
Since html5 is a year away, I would assume later than 7.0.0, but possibly
backported into the 7 series.

 Let's just suppose I want to deploy my Devawriter as a web-browser based
 thingy . . .

 Now Devawriter is currently cooked up using Livecode 4.5, and as such
 makes heavy use of

 numToChar

 in fact one could almost say that Devawriter IS numToChar incarnated in
 physical form.

 I am well aware that with Livecode 7 numToChar for Unicode characters gets
 lost and is replaced
 by

 numToCodepoint  [no backwards compatibility in those parts]

 which means that should I want to compile a working version of my
 Devawriter I have to replace
 all my thousands of numToChar statements with numToCodepoint ones

 [which is really just an automated process]

 Now, the (post burble) question:

 Am I to take it as automatic that HTML5 (i.e. browser-based versions of
 Livecode standalones)
 will be hived off from Livecode 7.0.0 or later?

I wonder if there is a roadmap for HTML5?

Not yet, but Kevin's most recent blog post outlines their next steps for 
the HTML5 implementation:

And the Road Map itself has been update with several interesting new 
details about Open Language and other aspects of the project:

Well; lots of jolly super words from Kevin, but nothing concrete; 
possibly because everything is a bit too early to be concrete.

That is much more concrete and extremely exciting.

Richmond.
