A lot of Americans feel they have the luxury of using only US English
forever, and for some apps maybe that's true.
But as a developer tool LiveCode simply couldn't be taken seriously
without it.
Others not on that list are:
- 64-bit Linux
- Linux GTK integration
The former means you no longer have to modify your system just to run
LiveCode, and while that may seem small to those who use just one OS
it's helpful to remember that the Linux audience is most likely to
contribute code as the platform grows.
The GTK integration was in some respects similar to the transition from
Carbon to Cocoa for Mac OS X. There are still some rough edges (option
controls become unreadable when they get focus, can't copy/paste styled
text), but for the most part Fraser's work on this was excellent and
makes LiveCode a joy to use on Linux.
