Dear list members,
*** Warning: this is an alpha release ***
We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 8.0 DP 1. This release
brings a number of new features to the LiveCode platform:
- A new language (LiveCode Builder) for extending LiveCode with new widgets and
engine-level commands and functions
- IDE improvements, with a re-written property inspector and project browser
and a new dictionary
- An “extension builder” IDE plugin for testing and packaging widgets and
libraries
- The LiveCode Extension Store, for sharing community extensions
This is a developer preview release and should be used with caution. As always,
please backup your stacks.
Known issues with 8.0 DP 1:
- The new property inspector lacks some properties present in the old property
inspector
- The extension store pane of the extensions manager does not always load
- The supplied widgets are examples and lack features and general robustness
- The extension builder plugin “Test” feature fails if the widget being tested
is already installed - uninstalling the widget and restarting the IDE should
help
- Widget icons do not appear in Android and iOS standalones as the appropriate
resources are not included in the standalone
- All installed widgets are built into any standalones produced
LiveCode 8 is in an early stage of development so we’d love to hear any
feedback you have on it. There are a number of features that we’d like to
implement but aren’t ready yet and the existing features are subject to change
during development - we can’t guarantee that extensions written in DP1 will
continue to work in later versions.
Please report any bugs encountered on our Bugzilla at
http://quality.livecode.com/
We have a forum available for discussing LiveCode Builder at

Oooooo, sexy!
My digestive juices are flowing. Congratulations.
Richmond.
