Ben,
Well done... I Applaud the entire RR team! Really , take a bow. The way you were on top of this iOS 8 thing and still got these releases out... Makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Does this mean we can once again use the “R” word in general conversation once again? Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net From: livecode-dev [mailto:livecode-dev-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Benjamin Beaumont Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 3:37 PM To: How to use LiveCode; LiveCode Developer List Subject: RELEASE LiveCode 7.0 Dear list members, We're pleased to announce release of LiveCode 7.0. This is a stable release. WARNING: LiveCode 7.0 contains breaking changes particularly when reading and writing data out of LiveCode or working with the char chunk type. Details can be found in the release notes which are linked below. LiveCode 6.7, which was also released today, provides a fully backward compatible new edition of LiveCode for all those users who need time to migrate their stacks to 7.0. Most people will be unaffected but please check the release notes and ask your questions on the list if you are unsure, we are very happy to help. LiveCode 7.0 has been available for most of 2014 so I expect most of you are well aware of the changes and likely already updated stacks where necessary. Release contents LiveCode 7.0 is a massive release for us as custodians of LiveCode and for us as a community. We've been working on it for almost 2 years and it sees us modernise the core of the engine and pave the was for LiveCode 8. We've introduced lots of new features, most notably, transparent unicode support which is a huge step forward for the technology. For more information of the changes in the release you can visit our website at: http://livecode.com/livecode-7/ Our release notes contain full details of all the changes made during this cycle as well as details of all the bugs that were fixed. The can be found here: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/6_7_0/LiveCodeNotes-7_0_0.pdf Yosemite During the release candidate phase we added support for Yosemite and will be working on adding wider ranging support for that platform in the coming week. Apple have tweaked how some of their pickers work which we'd like make available to your applications. We plan to do this in the form of 6.7.1 and 7.0.1 releases in the coming two weeks. Thanks once again to you as a community. Your support in testing and bug reporting does not go unnoticed!
