Folks: I’ve been following this thread and have a few thoughts I decided to share. Interestingly, I don’t see Android support for XOJO. Hmm…. In my case (I have a Commercial license), I am really happy that version 10 of LC will be improving the web software. I’ve been thinking about diving

Hi Bernard, I could be called one of the whiners but I have paid my indy licence since the kickstarter and the business Upgrade (until a year ago - Incase I needed it - I didnt). My biggest "whine" is not the ending of the open source initiative - it's the fact that OUR biggest competitors (XOJO

The direction is broadly the one we are following, however we are always open to tweaking things. With regard to the conversation on free starter kit/ non-standalone building etc, I'll copy what I said on the forums: We have dabbled with a number of low cost /entry level offerings in the past.

It’s a good question - what to build with regard to the sort of tools and components a vibrant developer community expects. I only know about examples of open source communities, and though I’d be interested in exploring how such a coding community might work with alternative closed licensing

In the main thread, I mentioned that I found revOnline (aka "Sample Stacks"), but didn't say how or why. Here the answer to that ... It has: - no differentiation between 'libraries' and 'examples' - it has no support for script-only stacks, which is surely the way most libraries will be done

So, I launched 9.6.4 today and got a notification to download 9.6.4-gm-1, this is not a version scheme that LC has been using before. I remember them being DP for developer previews, then becoming RC for release candidates, and then stable. I don’t remember Gold Masters in their versions, which
