RELEASE LiveCode 6.6 DP1

[Benjamin Beaumont]

Dear List Members.

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 6.6 DP1.

Warning, this is a pre-release with new features which have the potential
to cause issues. Please ensure you backup your stacks before testing this
release.

*Important Changes*

   1. *Tiger support dropped*. As of version 6.6-dp-1, OS 10.4 (Tiger)
   support has been dropped from LiveCode. This is primarily for technical
   reasons: In order to support the latest OS X features (e.g. Cocoa -
   LiveCode 6.7 - coming soon) as well as include the newest versions of
   thirdparty libraries (e.g. LibSkia, LibSQLite), dropping 10.4 support was
   required. Users wishing to produce 10.4 compatible executables can still do
   so using LiveCode version 6.5.x (and earlier).
