No progress updates on LC 10. Am i the only one who is concerned?

Hi, I know Xavvi will be the next big step and I even helped with the funding. But I'm wondering why there hasn't been any news about LC 10 for a some months now. Am I the only one worried that the full focus is now on Xavvi and LC10 is left behind? Matthias __

the things that bug me are: * at renewal, i added the html5 license, but that project isn't anywhere * script compiler was supposed to be out six months ago for tinkering (technically seven, but we'll give them a pass on end-of-the-year because it was probably intended as end-of-the-yearish * scrip

It's particularly frustrating because there are some good things in LC 10 that I'd like to be looking at/exploiting; but there's a vicious bug in the current DP script editor that can cause loss of work*, which prevents me doing anything with it. Just a new DP that includes a fix for this bug wo

Hi Matthias and list folks, We are working on LiveCode 10 dp6. We expect it to ship in August, with support for Web Fonts plus a number of bug fixes. Web Fonts turned out to be rather trickier than expected but it looks like we've got it more or less sorted out now. If there are specific bugs

Maybe a silly question, but that issue lists "turn on bracket completion" as a step to reproduce. If bracket completion is off, is it safe? On Mon, Jul 24, 2023 at 11:55 PM Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > It's particularly frustrating because there are so

On October 7th 2022, Kevin said that there would be a preview of the script compiler in the next few weeks. Thats the last update I found in the blog. Software is hard, and we all miss deadlines, but an update would be good. I tried to reach out to Mark W to get an update, but received no response.
