Supercard is no longer very super (remember playing around with it in 1994) as it is 32-bit MacOS only. Richmond. On 14.01.21 12:53, David V Glasgow via use-livecode wrote: I paid for the Windows version of SuperCard that was advertised in MacUser for some considerable time in the ?mid 90s. I

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

The transition to AS Mac OS will be pretty seamless. XCode flags up most of the code base that needs modding. Where it might fall over for us is if we use old widgets that won't get updated for any potential MacOS code deprecations. But LC, I'm sure, will keep up-to-date (ish) as we see already.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

I look forward to the day I can transition to an ARM based Mac. Those puppies are amazingly fast and it’s unlikely Windows machines will be competitive at the same price point. But … I’ll be using my Mac Book Air for years to come, it’s only 6 years old. Kee > On Jan 12, 2021, at 2:47 PM, matt

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

I am afraid i am at a crossroads now. Unfortunately prices for Mac hardware increased over the years. I will definitely not buy a M1 Mac. I will use my iMac as long as i get updates for macOS and will then switch back completely to Windows. Most of the software i am using is available for macOS

I’ve no worries with LC. My concern is all the other apps I bought which the devs don’t port. Bob S > On Jan 12, 2021, at 10:32 AM, chaplais via use-livecode > wrote: > > I have gone through this too . The most difficult was the change of OS. Also, > Apple had not ported MPW to the PPC, wh

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

I have gone through this too . The most difficult was the change of OS. Also, Apple had not ported MPW to the PPC, which led to the success of Metrowerks   CodeWarrior. I stil have a compiler by them for BeOs on PPC. This does not really make me feel younger. Le 12 janv. 2021 à 19:13 +0100, Richar

Up until the time Apple decides everything has to be M1, at which support for Rosetta is withdrawn. The question is, how long do Intel apps have to live? Deja Vu all over again. (see what I did there?) Bob S > On Jan 12, 2021, at 6:11 AM, Andre Garzia via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Panos

Hello Andre, The current x86_64 (i.e. Intel-based) build of LiveCode, as well as any x86_64 standalones created by it, are expected to run seamlessly on M1 Macs, via "Rosetta" (i.e. the translation/compatibility layer that enables a M1 Mac to run apps built for an Intel-based Mac). The M1 Mac will
