Richard, I was able to download 6.0.0 with my current Enterprise license. I always assumed that license made me a member of the Developer Program (but things have changed quite a bit since I last checked) . Anyway, I don't see any release notes anywhere so maybe they're not for public consumption yet. I don't want to go through the hassle of installing 6.0.0 unless there is something in it I might need.
Thanks again, Mike --- On Thu, 11/15/12, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> wrote: From: Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> Subject: Re: [OT] LiveCode 6.0 - Upgrade, Update or Addon To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Date: Thursday, November 15, 2012, 12:55 PM I think the 6.0 "Preview" is only available to members of the Developer Program, but I'm not sure how that could be dependent on the Linux deployment option. Weirder still, I recently tried to point a friend to where they could buy just a license for Mac OS X, and neither of us was able to figure that out. I hope Heather doesn't mind, but I've cc'd her with this reply as I think there may be some benefit to clarifying a few things in the current storefront. While I appreciate that mobile is big right now, the product offers an even better experience on the desktop and those who want to use only that have a difficult time doing so. Like that character on The Simpsons says, "Shut up and take my money!" :) I trust it would take only a few small revisions to make it easier for folks to give their money to RunRev. At a minimum, making a desktop-only option readily available would seem helpful, while still providing the other options as they do now. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys Kay C Lan wrote: > I just got an email offering me: > > Our offer to you*: Get any update to your LiveCode license today, and > we'll give you: > > Access to the LiveCode Developer Program > All developer preview releases of 6.0 > And all updates for the next year for your updated platform/s. > > So what constitutes "any update", "all updates" and "updated > platform/s" > > When I go to: http://www.runrev.com/store/ > > I see that all the PAYG options have "Updates included", whilst the > Perpetuals do not - except Complete. > > This seems to suggest that 'updates' means from one major release to > another,i.e. 5.0 to 5.5? ... > So if I want to check out LC 6.0, is my only option to 'Update Addon' > Linux, in which case it's completely pointless as I don't have a > Linux box to develop on. > > What is it that I UPDATE (that is not an Upgrade or Addon) that will > allow me to preview 6.0 on my Mac? > > I was expecting a button next to 'Desktop Deployment: Mac + Windows' > which said "Update 6.0 Preview", but alas, nothing so simple. > > Any pointers? _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
