As always we¹re delighted to be able to bring you the refinements and new
features that you need to bring your use of LiveCode to the next level. The

specific video playback, intersperse your video with commentary, full
control over in app audio.

projects, from a manga comic to a child¹s alphabet game.

releases with full support for iOS 4.3 simulator.
 
The Top Most Requested Desktop Refinements brought to you in LiveCode 4.6
include:

* Large Image Support for OS X: You asked, we delivered. Now you can
manipulate any image that will fit in memory.
* Improved encryption support: Cryptographic random data generation, sha-1
digest support and public key encryption support combine to give Standards'
compliant data security for those sensitive projects.
* Snapshot objects with and without graphic effects and blending: just
snapshot the image you want and add effects and blending without leaving
LiveCode.
