Me: > I would like to know if some people still need LC 6.7. BTW, I will support LC 6.7 in most addons for 2022-2023! A few users still need it. Plus I like to benchmark with it and perform some debugging there. (After mid-2023, I'll gradually start moving past 6.7.) Rick: > Ah, the old days of LC 6.7 when LiveCode was fast. > How much I miss that! Yes! But LC 9 is getting there with optimization lately. Once a version of LC 9/10 beats LC 6.7 on most tasks, that will become my new benchmark to beat. Matthias: > I've updated old and created new apps with different > versions of LC6 w/o any big problems. Same here, for me LC 6.7 was more stable than 5, 7, or 8. All of which I also used for projects. 9 is pretty good. Best wishes, Curry Kenworthy WordLib: Import MS Word and OpenOffice files in LiveCode!

Ah, the old days of LC 6.7 when LiveCode was fast. How much I miss that! Hopefully our new compiler when it comes out will make me feel that LC 6.7 was really slow. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

I've updated old and created new apps with different versions of LC6 w/o any big problems. The apps do db stuff (MSSQL and MySQL), FTP uploads/downloads, dp post/get requests and we used LC Server 6 on our webserver for several tasks e.g form processing, db communication, handling post requests and others. That all worked fine here. As soon as a new version, even DP, comes out and if time allows, i try to create at least our in-house apps with the new version. Firstly this helps to find bugs in the new version, at least in the areas our apps are using, and secondly, it ensures also that our apps can also be created with that new version. That above is, of course, not to say that others did not have problems with LC6.

Gosh, I never got *any* version of 6 to work well enough to use! :) There’s still switches in my code for 5, but there are enough other uses of later features of 7+ that it’s a non-issue. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

(P.S. I already employ new features or syntax only supported in v9.x and up, but that means maintaining a small bit of branched 6/9 code. Like to move beyond that eventually, but no rush; whatever people need!) Best wishes, Curry K. === Richmond: What do you mean when you write "I'm still supporting LC 6.7"?

I believe he means that utilities he creates will still function when used with 6.7, but wouldn't if he employs new features or syntax only supported in v9.x and up. Eventually he would consider ONLY supporting 9.x and up, and wants to get an idea of how many people would still need 6.7 support.
