Developer Preview Release ========================= Warning: this is not a stable release. Please ensure that you back up your stacks before testing them. Getting the Release =================== You can get the release at https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ or via the automatic updater. Release Contents ================ LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-10 comes with 27 bugfixes. Moreover, more than 40 bugfixes that were fixed in LiveCode 8.1.x and 8.2.x, are now merged into LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-10. In addition, LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-10 includes several amazing new features: - Java-FFI: Added support for custom classes (.jar files) in desktop and android apps - Java-FFI: Use extensions' code folders to update jarfiles standalone setting - LCB-Engine: Enabled getting the caller from LCB - LCB-Language: Implemented send { command | function } <msg> and post <msg> LCB syntax for libraries - Implemented Native Scrollers for Datagrid object - Implemented a HTML5 deploy library Known issues ================ - The Browser widget can cause hang in the IDE in some Linux distros - see http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19658 - The Android Native Button widget uses "labelColor", not "foregound"/"textColor" to set the text color - You might not be able to run HTML5 standalones locally using the most recent version of Safari or Chrome (Firefox is OK). This is due to those browsers now prohibiting cross-origin-requests. To test out standalones locally using these browser, we suggest using a local HTTP server as described in the HTML5 deployment guide. However, this will not be a problem if you use the new HTML5 deployment library, which does this for you: You just have to choose one of the installed browsers (click on the "Development -> Test Target" menu item), and then click on the "Test" button. - [Business Only] If you use the new feature of HTML5 deployment from the "Test" button, make sure you have unchecked "Script Debug Mode". See bug http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20584 The full release notes are available from: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/9_0_0/LiveCodeNotes-9_0_0_dp_10.pdf Note: Due to the changes in LCB <post> and <send>, if your custom widgets use these commands, you have to rebuild them in LC 9 DP-10 using the Extensions Builder.
