Dear List Members,

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 6.7.5 RC 1 and 7.0.5 RC 1. This release is a maintenance release which contains bug fixes for both versions. The list of bugs fixed can be found in the Release Notes.

* iOS Font Map *
As some of you may have experienced, the font loading is affected by a dramatic slowdown from iOS 8.1. That comes from iOS 8.1 itself, which cannot handle font loading efficiently unless the exact PostScript name of the font is used. To help with this, we introduced a font mapping system in the iOS Standalone Settings (see the Release Notes for further information).

* specialFolderPath of "resources" *
A new specialFolderPath has been added for the Resources, which matches the location of the files copied along the standalone engine for standalones, or the location of the defaultstack, in the IDE. This comes in response to the bug 14295 (more information is available in the docs and the Release Notes).

* Xcode 6.3 and iOS 8.3 *
Xcode 6.3 is now selectable, and required for saving a stack as an iOS standalone application on Yosemite. Since Xcode 6.3 cannot be installed on Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks), Xcode 6.2 and iOS Simulator 8.2 are still supported; and will be as long as the AppStore will accept apps created with iOS SDK 8.2.

*Getting the Release*
To get the release please select "check for updates" from the "help" menu in the product or download the installer directly at: http://downloads.livecode.com

*6.7.5 RC 2 / 7.0.5 RC 2  *
The following RC release is planned to happen next week.

Warm regards,

The LiveCode Team
