> Unicode - DONE Im glad Paul pointed this out; its been taking some hits from people who say they don't need it, and that its impacting performance.
It is a necessity for the future of LiveCode or any development environment for that matter. LiveCode and its predecessors have always been good at language handling tasks, so long as your project only needed to work, at best, with extended ASCII characters. This limitation pretty much excluded it from being used by developers who needed multibyte character handling for their small scale projects (pretty much all indie type developers throughout Asia), as well as international businesses that have applications that must work across multiple languages. It is a feature that goes down to the lowest level of implementation and touches everything (and those types of fixes are really, really hard to estimate as to difficulty). Not having it was a showstopper for a lot of development, yet it benefits just about everyone - long time users as well as making LiveCode viable to a lot of new developers.
