I forgot my final question: Have you made similar experiences or is it only me and how do you handle this permanent hazard of regression bugs? Tiemo

I am doing this since years, without having changed anything in my code. Now in 8.1.4, Windows 10 this load URL downloads a "broken/corrupted" empty zip file, which breaks my whole update process. In 8.1.4 rc1 this still has worked and in 8.1.5 it seems to work again without any changes in my code or the zip file. I didn't tested yet 8.1.6 and 9. I had done a minor change in my program, completely far off the download handler and just build a new standalone for a new CD production and thought I'll take the "stable" release 8.1.4 instead of the last build with 8.1.4 rc1 for the new production. Because it was only a minor bug fix in my program and I only switched from 8.1.4 to 8.1.4 rc1 I didn't tested each and every possible feature of my program, before going into the production of a new release. Only by a great chance I discovered that my update process is broken. If I would have sold this new CD production, I would never have been able to update my program again, because the update process would have been broken. In all the years working with RunRev/LiveCode I never have experienced so many, frequently regression bugs as in LC 8. I had at least 10-20 regression bugs in LC 8, since switching from 6.7. Almost in each single release candidate and each general release there are new regression bugs of old and common features so that it is a game of hazard to use a new release. I have no idea, what is going on behind the scenes in Edinborough, if it is related to the open source development, so that everybody can create regression bugs, but this isn't anymore a reliable software development. The complete responsibility is passed to us. Sorry, but I am really pissed off and my trust in every new release has dropped to zero.
