You are not alone in your disappointment regarding Android, Linux, 64-bit, web player. Every release has stated "no changes" in the release notes for Android. Why even bother to have release notes for anything but iOS? Kevin said a few weeks ago that feature parity would happen "blingingly fast", and I am still waiting to see the bright light. I haven't lost all hope yet, and I've been using HyperCard, MetaCard, Revolution, and now LiveCode for 20 years, so I really do love the language. But... What else can we do? We wait, or we learn another tool. The waiting is getting old. ˜Roger _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
