Dear List Folks,

I'd like to reassure you, the team is anything but idle, and the fruits of 
their labours are coming your way. I don't wish to steal Pano's thunder, but 
you should look for an announcement on 9.0.5 tomorrow (all being well with the 
build, which is currently undergoing final checks. Probably I've just jinxed it 
by mentioning a release date, in direct contravention of my rules.) 9.0.5 has 
had a fix shoehorned into it for the nasty debugger crashing that was reported 
not long ago.

9.5.1 is well under way and shouldn't be long now, bringing the needed updates 
for iOS among other things. I'm not going to even hint at a release date of 
next week for this, its certain to cause a #fail.

9.6 is in progress with some nice new features and a first dp is not far off. 
Real Soon Now :).

Yes, it has taken a little longer than usual between releases. A major reason 
for this was the server move, which impacted our build bots and delayed all 
test builds. Frustrating, but necessary work, and thankfully that is all done 
now and everything is working smoothly again. One does not appreciate the full 
complexity of these build bots until one attempts to move them intact from one 
place to another.

The suggestion that all our efforts will remain with LCFM Native and never bear 
fruit for LiveCode itself is based on a misconception, an idea that somehow we 
are working on something other than LiveCode. We're not. Everything we are 
building for LCFM Native is built with LiveCode. We cannot do it without 
improving LiveCode. Those improvements will come back to the community (many 
already have). Hermann... its not an infinite effort. FileMaker is very much a 
finite set of code, with relatively slow changes. 

I hope you will like 9.0.5, 9.5.1 and 9.6, we're looking forward to bringing 
them to you. 

Best Regards,

Heather
