Dear List Members. We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 7.0 DP10.
* Warning, this is a pre-release with new features which have the potential to cause issues. Please ensure you backup your stacks before testing this release.* *Release Focus* 17 bug fixes *Important Changes* - We’ve update the platform component of the engine on Linux substantially. Think of it as the equivalent of the cocoa port for MacOS X. As a result, windowing related activities on Linux are subject to change. If you are testing on Linux we would encourage you to focus on windowing, window shapes, shortcuts, copy/paste and drag/drop. - LiveCode 7.0 is now based on LiveCode 6.7. It includes cocoa, the webkit browser, the new AVFoundation player on Mac. - The file format has changed for this release to accommodate Unicode. Old stacks will still work in 7.0, but stacks saved in 7.0 format will not open in previous versions of LiveCode. Therefore it is doubly critical to backup your stacks. *Known issues* - LiveCode 7 64-bit Linux installer does not run for "All Users". To install for all users use the command line install or install for "you only". *Release contents* The number of bugs fixed is so large that it no longer makes sense to include a summary in the release email. Instead, please look at the bug fix section of the release notes which can be found here: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/7_0_0/LiveCodeNotes-7_0_0_dp_10.pdf *Getting this release* LiveCode 7.0 is not yet part of the auto-update process yet. We'll add it once 7.0 once we enter the RC cycle. For the time being we're looking to our more experienced community members to help with initial testing by downloading directly at: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ *Feeding Back* If you find an issue in this release, please report a bug at quality.runrev.com.
