Re: [ANN] Release 8.1.7 RC-1

2017-09-06 Thread Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode

Possibly several steps back might be better than total stagnation.

As I have demonstrated by my article in "Hello World" I'm not always
averse to backward steps if they serve some purpose.

Well, that would take us a step (or lots of steps!) back :)

The dictionary in LC < 8 is totally different, it is a .livecode stack that
displays .xml files (e.g. the dictionary entries).

In LC 8+ it uses a browser widget, and all the entries have been re-written
to .lcdoc files. This makes it more easily maintainable and extensible.

BTW the bug I was referring to (in LC 8), which describes a workaround is
this one:

Hi all,

There are 2 different issues:

1. The dictionary on Linux (and the browser widget in general) does not
work **in some systems** in LC 8.x. This is not distro-specific, but
rather
locale-specific, and there is a workaround described in the bug report.

2. The dictionary on Linux (and the browser widget) does not work at all
in
LC 9.0 DP-7+. This is mentioned as a "known issue" in the release email.
We
have spent *a lot* of hours trying to fix this, but with no result. We
believe that the issue is caused by an incompatibility of the current
version of CEF we use (needed for the browser widget), and we think the
issue will be fixed when we update the version of CEF we use.
Unfortunately
this is not an easy task, so I do not expect it to be fixed in LC 9.0
DP-9.

I have no problems with the dictionary in openSUSE (an unsupported
distro!) in any LC 8.x version including this one. In fact, I haven't
encountered this issue in any of the many different unsupported
distros I've tested.

I do, however, suffer from the problem with the dictionary/browser in
the later versions of LC 9. Aren't these issues the result of at least
two distinct problems?


Thanks for the info, Warren.  I see similar results here under Ubuntu
14.04 and 16.04:  v8.1.7rc1 opens the Dictionary well, v.9dp8 doesn't.

 I guess I need to get a VM configured with Linux to test.I've been trying 
to help with the dictionary but so far only testing with Mac/Win.One thing 
I do notice is that it does take a while to load.Switching to the guide and 
back to API usually has it finish loading.Of course if the whole IDE is 
frozen then that won't do any good.

Hi Ralph,

No, it should not, otherwise you would not be able to build device
standalones using Xcode 8.3.x on Sierra. BTW I just checked and it is not
empty for me (checked on Indy and Business).

Maybe a failure during installation? Strange. Could you try to delete and

Re: [ANN] Release 8.1.7 RC-1

2017-09-05 Thread Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode

Excited by many things.

I wonder if snapshot, which was failing on desktop (Mac and Linux at least)
has been sorted out?

Majorly %^&*($# by this:

The Linux version of LiveCode is STILL NOT loading a dictionary.

[ I see that that problem has been "solved" in LC 9 dp 8 by simply 
inactivating the Dictionary button on Linux. ]


So, as I stated before:

"always something new to fiddle around with", and CAREFULLY avoided writing:

somethings never seem to get completely sorted out,

but, as you "rose to the bait" I have "baited my hook".

Whatever my sour responses, LiveCode still "rocks the socks" off all
the also-rans.

Re: [ANN[ Release 8.1.7 RC-1

2017-09-05 Thread panagiotis merakos via use-livecode
Hi Ralph,

No, it should not, otherwise you would not be able to build device
standalones using Xcode 8.3.x on Sierra. BTW I just checked and it is not
empty for me (checked on Indy and Business).

Maybe a failure during installation? Strange. Could you try to delete and
reinstall?

Best regards,
Panos

Re: [ANN] Release 8.1.7 RC-1

2017-09-05 Thread panagiotis merakos via use-livecode
I believe a lot of users will be excited by this release (including
myself), since several known long-standing issues are addressed. Just a
sample of them:

9992 Export snapshot fails on iOS
16029 AppleScript dictionary seems to be absent
17098 Cursor does not move after hitting TAB when tab is right-aligned
17639 Cursor in fields renders in wrong position in fields with
fixedLineHeight=false
18955 Browser widget crashes LC from 
19080 Building iOS standalone can result in ARM/iOS version error
19420 Calling quit causes Android app to crash on next launch if Android is
still retaining the app in RAM
19713 Images placed on Windows clipboard won't paste into Paint
20209 Incorrect text colour following copy and paste into 3rd party app
20231 Windows standalone crashes on quit when taskbar is hidden
20232 New folder separator char inconsistency on Windows
20282 the engine folder uses "\" in paths on Windows
20298 !r for menu item flag displays check mark instead of diamond
20310 Error accessing image data that Windows Paint puts on clipboard
20321 No default value in the ask window if the text contains char 0

Best,
Panos

Exciting.

Why am I excited every time there is a new LiveCode release?

Because there is always something new to fiddle around with!

Lovely!

Richmond.
