That's very encouraging to hear. QuickTime replacement and Cocoa have
been key concerns for many of us. Very much looking forward to those.
Richard (and others),
I don't know if you have Xcode set up to compile LiveCode or not, but if
you do then you may enjoy following along with the Cocoa project:
https://github.com/runrevmark/livecode/tree/feature-cocoa
I've been building and testing my app as Mark releases updates the cocoa
branch (which is quite regularly). The de-quicktimification has already
begun as well. You can read the progress the is being made in the commit
notes:
https://github.com/runrevmark/livecode/commits/feature-cocoa
It is fun to see what the team is working on and follow along with features
you are interested in.
Useful indeed, but to be honest I was asking on behalf of a fair number
of requests I get from friends and colleagues wondering why the
communication about LiveCode from the core team is so sparse relative to
other FOSS projects.
A weekly blog post would do wonders, even if brief.
The last blog entry was more than two months ago:
http://livecode.com/about/blog/
Given the size of the Git community, I imagine there may even some way
to automate progress summaries which could then be posted to the blog,
perhaps even automating the posting itself.
But even if tasked to the project's Community Manager, any brief update
at regular intervals would be very helpful.
