So, instead of a mad scramble to get out a version 7, a period of

period of beta-testing, and a more rigorous one at that.
Where did RunRev announce that they're refusing to make another
maintenance build between now and v7?
The radically-enhanced v7 has been in development for some time, during
which they've continued to roll out many new versions of the v6 series.
I haven't seen any indication from them that this will somehow stop -
did I miss something?
I was going to reply to this too but I hesitatated. You didn't miss
anything, there's no "mad scramble", v. 7 is part of a dual-track
development effort. There will be a 6.6 release soon and probably others
after that. V. 7 is going to take a while to finish because it requires
a huge rewrite of many existing components -- not the least of which is
the field object, which is probably the most complex object the engine has.
My primary concern with posts like the OP are that they are based on
conjecture and might influence potential users looking into LiveCode.
The mousecolor bug used as an example was fixed within days of being
reported. It certainly wasn't a bug severe enough to reflect on the
reliability of the entire product, but casual internet visitors would
not have known that from the tone of the post.
