SVG Icon Inclusion Causes iOS app to crash

8.1.0 DP2 I had a lot of SVG icons on several stacks that are built into an iOS app. I had forgotten to set that as an inclusion and when I built for iOS, they were blank. I went back to the standalone settings for the loader stack, check "SVG Icon" in the inclusions; rebuilt the standalone

32-bit Linux distros going away

Looks like Ubuntu will be joining Fedora and OpenSUSE in dropping support for 32-bit editions in future versions. Given that 64-bit CPUs have been been dominant for more than a decade, I think this is pretty good news for us LiveCoders. As new distros drop support for older 32-bit CPUs

For Windows you can specify specialFolderPath( "0x001a" ) which is the approved location for writing app data. On Mac it's the Application Support folder ; I thought there was a special designator for that too but I don't see one in the dictionary. If memory serves, it's" apsup" I think.
