Ah, the old days of LC 6.7 when LiveCode was fast. How much I miss that! Hopefully our new compiler when it comes out will make me feel that LC 6.7 was really slow. Thanks for the walk down memory lane! Rick ___ use-livecode mailing list

Gosh, I never got *any* version of 6 to work well enough to use! :) There’s still switches in my code for 5, but there are enough other uses of later features of 7+ that it’s a non-issue. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com

(P.S. I already employ new features or syntax only supported in v9.x and up, but that means maintaining a small bit of branched 6/9 code. Like to move beyond that eventually, but no rush; whatever people need!) Best wishes, Curry K. === Richmond: What do you mean when you write "I'm still

I believe he means that utilities he creates will still function when used with 6.7, but wouldn't if he employs new features or syntax only supported in v9.x and up. Eventually he would consider ONLY supporting 9.x and up, and wants to get an idea of how many people would still need 6.7

To plan addon development for the next few years, I would like to know if some people still need LC 6.7. If you're a Lurker, that's OK! If shy: offlist is fine. (Regulars welcome too, of course.) Currently I'm still supporting LC 6.7 too, but as LC 9 matures on bugs/stability and performance,
