Be aware that YAML is tricky to parse, there are better formats such as
TOML which are much easier and tend to be less error prone. It is very
easy to get some indentation wrong in YAML and move something up or down
a level. TOML is IMHO a better format for such stuff.

Hi list,
I finally found the time to test / move one of my old projects from the 6.x
(started in 3.x) to the 9.x engine. At first I was very very disappointed about
performance. The stack was somewhat between acceptable and snappy in the 6.x
engine series, rather unusable on 8 and on 9. This

Malte,
So happy that you're back here my friend. I too spent some time away.
So, refactoring and constantly trying to erase mistakes of my past
coding self are a constant here. I wish we had better refactoring tools
so that we could rename a handler and all code that called that handler

— other stuff may follow, but do not unlock
I don't think LiveCode without Malte is really LiveCode, so glad you are
back. :-)
Could you pls elaborate on the lock screen strategy? You said we should not
nest, and you also said that screen will not immediately be unlocked after
a handler. I was under the impression that multiple locks were
a very interesting thread ...lots to learn.
I refactored a project from 7 to 9 and definitely had a couple of "how
did this code ever work?" moments, meaning i found the most recent versions
of the engine to be more strict with syntax.
As far as performance comparisons I don't have a lot to
In 6.7.3 on a Mac, this results in true for me.
Checked in 5.0, also resulted in true.

Hey Mark,
At least it is behaviour that changed between engine releases. :-)
Thinking of a counter here is a good way to describe the behaviour, however, it
is not what is written in the dictionary.

Yes, it is definitely a change

V4, v5 and v6 I put the data into the field and then looped thru the lines.
If text was too wide I chopped off 1/2 of the overflow chars(rough guess)
and then iterated what was left using the formattedwidth as the last chars
were
