Hi Martin I'm interested in the web assembly for HTML5. I had actually written two different apps which I would have done as HTML5 but the loading time alone was just to slow. The increased loading speed alone should now make these possible as HTML5. There are still a lot of other things that

Yes, and this is really disconcerting. Not sure how many Mac vs. PC devs there are for LC, but I suspect it's weighed heavily towards Mac. I think in retrospect, it may have been better to retain UTF-8 as an option, that is be able to select unicode or not in an app. But I suspect that would be
