Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0 DP-11

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

Um: thanks for the "recipe" for running 9.0.0 dp 11, although I do
hope that that will be sorted out before the stable release.

Hi Richmond,

What you see is a duplicate of bug 16848 (

to be fixed in 9.0 DP-11. It affects Linux installations with specific
locale settings, and it should be fixed if you applied the workaround
described in comment 81 of this report, i.e. to run LC from command line
using this command:

LC_ALL= LC_NUMERIC=C

Hope this helps,

Perhaps it would be a good idea if other Linux users had a look at this as
well.

If I find the time I'll "have a go" on a 32-bit machine I've got running

JOY TO THE WORLD!!

Ali/Panos, thank you.

This is why I support the LC platform and more importantly the LC team and
why I contributed to the various campaigns. What other commercial product
has the heavyweights monitoring an email list and not only chime in with
help but solve problems @11:00 pm on the Friday before a holiday?

I was trying to replicate J Gay's Android build error I ran into a roadblock.

I can't launch on Win 10 build 1709 on a VM. The splash hangs at "Loading 
Libraries". I dumped all mu Plug-Ins and nuked the prefs, disabled AV SW, ran 
as administrator but still no joy.

Any ideas before a get a QCC report going?

Nice release!

For anyone playing with the new MAP widget, the dictionary entry for 
regionChanged states:

on regionChanged
   UpdateCoordinateDisplay the centerCoordinate of the target
end regionChanged

command UpdateCoordinateDisplay pCenter
   put item 1 of pCenter into field "latitude"
   put item 2 of pCenter into field "longitude"
end UpdateCoordinateDisplay


That won’t work because it should read ‘the centerCoordinates’not ‘the 
centerCoordinate’.

Another thing you can do in this DP is hide individual widgets from the

the good news is i ran my stack and i make EXTENSIVE use of the
datagrid...everything looked fine and worked as expected.. maybe its
just me but it feels snappier scrolling on the desktop.. but i
could be imagining it though. I'm going to do some optimizing and testing
on my own use case.

epic christmas season for our company's stack, thanks alot for all your

[AndyP via use-livecode]

Fantastic release  .. what a great Christmas prezzy!

Looking forward to trying out all the new features.

All the elves at the LiveCode Santa cabin must have worked really hard to
get this out to us before the holidays so a BIG thank you to all the team
for all their efforts over the past year.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0 DP-11

[Ali Lloyd via use-livecode]

Yes, that is indeed the intention- but we thought we’d give you the
components along the way until we’ve figured out the correct API for the
cross platform version and actually implemented for all platforms.

The single platform versions will likely stay around in some form, probably
in the extensions store, as their properties and messages can be more
closely mapped to the native ones and they can have features not available
on other platforms.

The map widget is a slight anomaly in that we’ve gone straight for the
cross-platform approach - but mainly because it’s unclear what platforms it
will be possible to add support for, but we can be fairly confident if a
platform supports it then we can implement everything in the current map
widget feature set

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi Mike,

I think both of these features (a "universal" native button widget and the
ability to add your own icons) will be added in the upcoming LC 9.x
releases.

Best,
Panos

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0 DP-11

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

I'm sure someone already asked this:  Why not have one native button, that
when we build for platform x compiles for that platform?  We have a mac
button, an android button, and an ios button.  We have an android field, a
mac field (no ios field)...
I can't wait for someone to hack the navigation bar so you can add whatever
icons you like.  I've looked at doing it, but it's not on the front burner.

You folks rock!

I feel like the xmas I got my first Heathkit oscilloscope. I spent the entire 
first day building it and the next year using it. Excitement on both fronts 
just like dp11 will.

Margaret and I send our best wishes to the mother ship and all you good people

Subject: [ANN] Release 9.0.0 DP-11

Dear list members,

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11.

Developer Preview Release
=
Warning: this is not a stable release.  Please ensure that you back up your 
stacks before testing them.


Getting the Release
===
You can get the release at https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ or via the 
automatic updater.


Release Contents

LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11 comes with more than 40 bugfixes. Moreover, more than
90 bugfixes that were fixed in LiveCode 8.1.x and 8.2.x, are now merged into 
LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11.

In addition, LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11 includes several amazing new features:

- Great progress on Obj-C FFI: support for dynamic instance binding, dynamic 
property binding and delegate support is added. With LCB, you can easily wrap 
an API of your choice and use it from LiveCode Script. For example, see the 
code in http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20733,
which wraps NSUserNotification, used to send a notification.
- Target folder variant of the detailed files and the detailed folders: The
files() and folders() function now have a second optional argument, allowing 
“detailed” to be specified.
- Image Object SVG support: Include high quality SVG images at a very small 
cost on the standalone size
- HTML5 windowing: This allows tooltips, dialogs, and pop-up menus to work 
within the HTML5 engine. This also allows multiple stacks to be opened on the 
HTML5 page.
- Windows cameraControl enhancements: Support to the windows camera control for 
exposure, focus and white balance mode properties has been added.
- Data Grid 2 visual / interactive elements: datagrid edit mode swipe actions / 
drag reordering
- New LCB syntax: added support for "the architecture", "trigger all" and 
access to system error
- Android AAR support: Add support for AAR files as extension dependencies
- Android manifest merging: An android manifest merging mechanism has been 
added to the android standalone builder. This enables manifests to be included 
in extension jvm-android code folders which are then merged into the main 
manifest at build time.
- Android Toast Notification Library
- Extension code library support: Extensions can now include compiled libraries 
on which they depend.
- New Native Map Widget for Android, iOS and Mac 64 bit (Indy+)
- New Signature Widget for all platforms (Indy+)
- New SecureKey Library for Android, iOS and Mac (Business): The SecureKey 
library provides a way to encrypt data with a private key which is held 
securely on the device and tied to the application owning it.
- New Media Foundation External (Business): A new external has been implemented 
to allow transcoding and basic editing of videos on Windows.
The external supports Windows 8.1+.
- Browser Widget now works again in 64 bit Linux
- Browser Widget now works in 32 bit Linux as well :)

Last, but not least, LC 9.0.0 DP-11 includes a new version of our prebuilt 
OpenSSL library, new versions of tsNet and mergExt* externals, as well as 
support for the latest version of Xcode (9.2).

For more details on this release, read Ali's exciting blogpost:

https://livecode.com/livecode-9-the-final-preview/

Important Note: The shortcuts for Autocomplete have changed, since they were 
conflicting with existing shortcuts in some platforms. So, now:

- The F1 key (or Fn+F1 in some keyboards) is now used for presenting 
autocomplete when the user has the live autocomplete preference off. If the 
completions pane is already presented, the F1 key will launch the dictionary if 
the chosen completion is documented.
- The tab key is now used to apply the completion, or to move to the next 
placeholder.


Known issues

- The Browser widget's native layer is not shown in some Linux distros with

Dear list members,

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11.

Developer Preview Release
=
Warning: this is not a stable release.  Please ensure that you back up your
stacks before testing them.


Getting the Release
===
You can get the release at https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ or via
the automatic updater.


Release Contents

LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11 comes with more than 40 bugfixes. Moreover, more than
90 bugfixes that were fixed in LiveCode 8.1.x and 8.2.x, are now merged
into LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11.

In addition, LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-11 includes several amazing new features:

- Great progress on Obj-C FFI: support for dynamic instance binding,
dynamic property binding and delegate support is added. With LCB, you can
easily wrap an API of your choice and use it from LiveCode Script. For
example, see the code in http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20733,
which wraps NSUserNotification, used to send a notification.
- Target folder variant of the detailed files and the detailed folders: The
files() and folders() function now have a second optional argument,
allowing “detailed” to be specified.
- Image Object SVG support: Include high quality SVG images at a very small
cost on the standalone size
- HTML5 windowing: This allows tooltips, dialogs, and pop-up menus to work
within the HTML5 engine. This also allows multiple stacks to be opened on
the HTML5 page.
- Windows cameraControl enhancements: Support to the windows camera control
for exposure, focus and white balance mode properties has been added.
- Data Grid 2 visual / interactive elements: datagrid edit mode swipe
actions / drag reordering
- New LCB syntax: added support for "the architecture", "trigger all" and
access to system error
- Android AAR support: Add support for AAR files as extension dependencies
- Android manifest merging: An android manifest merging mechanism has been
added to the android standalone builder. This enables manifests to be
included in extension jvm-android code folders which are then merged into
the main
manifest at build time.
- Android Toast Notification Library
- Extension code library support: Extensions can now include compiled
libraries on which they depend.
- New Native Map Widget for Android, iOS and Mac 64 bit (Indy+)
- New Signature Widget for all platforms (Indy+)
- New SecureKey Library for Android, iOS and Mac (Business): The SecureKey
library provides a way to encrypt data with a private key which is held
securely on the device and tied to the application owning it.
- New Media Foundation External (Business): A new external has been
implemented to allow transcoding and basic editing of videos on Windows.
The external supports Windows 8.1+.
- Browser Widget now works again in 64 bit Linux
- Browser Widget now works in 32 bit Linux as well :)

Last, but not least, LC 9.0.0 DP-11 includes a new version of our prebuilt
OpenSSL library, new versions of tsNet and mergExt* externals, as well as
support for the latest version of Xcode (9.2).

For more details on this release, read Ali's exciting blogpost:

Important Note: The shortcuts for Autocomplete have changed, since they
were conflicting with existing shortcuts in some platforms. So, now:

- The F1 key (or Fn+F1 in some keyboards) is now used for presenting
autocomplete when the user has the live autocomplete preference off. If the
completions pane is already presented, the F1 key will launch the
dictionary if the chosen completion is documented.
- The tab key is now used to apply the completion, or to move to the next
placeholder.


Known issues

- The Browser widget's native layer is not shown in some Linux distros with
Cinnamon window manager.
- DataGrid swipe (and drag-reorder) actions seem to interfere with the
scroller on Android, requiring an additional swipe (and drag-reorder)
action to make it work. This will be fixed in next release.
- You might not be able to run HTML5 standalones locally using the most
recent version of Safari or Chrome (Firefox is OK). This is due to those
browsers now prohibiting cross-origin-requests. To test out standalones
locally using these browser, we suggest using a local HTTP server as
described in the HTML5 deployment guide. However, this will not be a
problem if you use the new HTML5 deployment library, which does this for
you: You just have to choose one of the installed browsers (click on the
"Development -> Test Target" menu item), and then click on the
