This is very interesting technology and will fundamentally change LiveCode as a development environment. I don't know what the release schedule is, and releases schedules always change, but you can watch development of it on github. There is a widgets branch on the Runrev/LiveCode github repository that Mark Waddingham has committed some code to. Previously he was doing some work on it under a "feature-widget" branch on his own github account. Here is the link to the widget branch: https://github.com/runrev/livecode/commits/widgets You can check in periodically and see how it progresses. If you want to monitor all of the progress on the engine then you can follow these instructions for installing SourceTree and setting it up with the livecode github repository. http://www.bluemangolearning.com/livecode/2014/07/using-sourcetree-to-monitor-progress-on-livecode/ The engineers at RunRev are doing a lot of fine work, as you will see by watching the repository. Some of it has led to things like Cocoa, improved Linux support, improved proxy support, the new browser, the QuickTime replacement on OS X, hi-dpi support, etc. A lot of their work has been less visible but has provided a foundation for some awesome technology we will be seeing in the not-to-distant future. -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps www.screensteps.com - www.clarify-it.com _______________________________________________ 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
