Dear list members, We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 8.0 DP 11.
Warning: this is not a stable release. Please ensure you back up your stacks before testing them. *Release contents* *HTML 5 Enhancements* The following have been added for HTML 5 standalones in DP 11 - ability to use 'wait' - ability to write to stdout / stderr *Linux printing* The Linux printing commands now use revpdfprinter to generate a PDF to send through the system printing process. Among other things, this means that there is now full support for Unicode text. *Application Browser* The application browser, which was missing from the DP 9 and 10 installers, has been reinstated. *LiveCode Builder* Number -> string formatting has been improved so that it should no longer be necessary to strip trailing zeroes. Access to the current clipping bounds in OnPaint has been added. *Documentation API* Part a new documentation API has been added, allowing access to individual entries in the LiveCode Script dictionary. *31 bug fixes* *Known Issues* - Cef Browser (and therefore the dictionary and browser widget) does not currently work on 32-bit Linux - HTML 5 standalones do not currently function when they contain extensions with dependencies. *Getting the release* You can get the release at http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ LiveCode 8 is still in 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 Developer Previews will continue to work the same way 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 http://forums.livecode.com/viewforum.php?f=93 The LiveCode Team _______________________________________________ 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
