Dear list members, *** Warning: this is an alpha release ***
We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 8.0 DP 1. This release brings a number of new features to the LiveCode platform: - A new language (LiveCode Builder) for extending LiveCode with new widgets and engine-level commands and functions - IDE improvements, with a re-written property inspector and project browser and a new dictionary - An “extension builder” IDE plugin for testing and packaging widgets and libraries - The LiveCode Extension Store, for sharing community extensions This is a developer preview release and should be used with caution. As always, please backup your stacks. Known issues with 8.0 DP 1: - The new property inspector lacks some properties present in the old property inspector - The extension store pane of the extensions manager does not always load - The supplied widgets are examples and lack features and general robustness - The extension builder plugin “Test” feature fails if the widget being tested is already installed - uninstalling the widget and restarting the IDE should help - Widget icons do not appear in Android and iOS standalones as the appropriate resources are not included in the standalone - All installed widgets are built into any standalones produced LiveCode 8 is in an early stage of development so we’d love to hear any feedback you have on it. There are a number of features that we’d like to implement but aren’t ready yet and the existing features are subject to change during development - we can’t guarantee that extensions written in DP1 will continue to work in later versions.
