Re: Mac 64 bit?

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

OK, I stopped using LC 9 in earlier versions because of instability. Richard, 
you remind me how long ago all that was… anyway since your email (below) I’ve 
switch to 9.0.0 DP11. Seems fine, although the Project Browser still seems to 
update itself in real time.

(Just as an aside, I’m having lots of trouble doing LC things on two monitors 
(bits of the IDE disappearing, stack windows being relocated off screen etc), 
but I think the recent LC8 series was much the same. I’ve put in a bug report, 
but I am worried that the whole issue may be particular to my setup so the 
mother ship won’t see anything wrong.)

Thanks for the advice

Graham

+1

LC9 is stable as far as I’m concerned and has been for many months, I’m using 
it for development and deployment

Kind regards

Dave

PS: it’s also a pain to have to delete and reapply widgets when moving back and 
forth between LC8 and 9…

One more reason to use the most recent build during development:

In v9 you'll find that's already done: 64-bit is now the default, 
"Experimental" has been removed, as "(Deprecated)" is now added next to 
32-bit.

Then the mother ship should remove the word EXPERIMENTAL. I will raise it in 
the quality database.

Thanks for the info

This was discussed a while back. 64 bit works fine. That is all I use.

Dunno: but, both the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of my Devawriter run 
"as they should"

on my Mac OS 10.7.5 imac, for all that that may be worth.

Mac 64 bit?

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

I notice using LC 8.1.8 (the latest stable release AFAIK) that in the 
Standalone Application Settings, building for Mac OS X is still described as 
EXPERIMENTAL. Is this right? Has anyone experienced any gotchas by using this 
type of build? In reality I don’t know what OSX started to expect 64 bit apps, 
but it must have been a good few iterations ago.
