[OT] LiveCode 6.0 - Upgrade, Update or Addon

[Michael Kann]

Richard,

I was able to download 6.0.0 with my current Enterprise license. I always assumed that license made me a member of the Developer Program (but things have changed quite a bit since I last checked) . Anyway, I don't see any release notes anywhere so maybe they're not for public consumption yet. I don't want to go through the hassle of installing 6.0.0 unless there is something in it I might need.

Thanks again,

Mike

I think the 6.0 "Preview" is only available to members of the Developer Program, but I'm not sure how that could be dependent on the Linux deployment option.

Weirder still, I recently tried to point a friend to where they could buy just a license for Mac OS X, and neither of us was able to figure that out.

I hope Heather doesn't mind, but I've cc'd her with this reply as I think there may be some benefit to clarifying a few things in the current storefront.

While I appreciate that mobile is big right now, the product offers an even better experience on the desktop and those who want to use only that have a difficult time doing so.

Like that character on The Simpsons says, "Shut up and take my money!" :)

I trust it would take only a few small revisions to make it easier for folks to give their money to RunRev.  At a minimum, making a desktop-only option readily available would seem helpful, while still providing the other options as they do now.
