RELEASE LiveCode 6.6 DP1

[Björnke von Gierke]

Alright I think I've said what I wanted on assert, so my next problem is with the SQLite syntax changes. The "new" binary mode is in fact just the default SQLite way to use binary. 

Because of that, I strongly would prefer to make that the default, and deprecate the LC way of storing binary in sqlite. However that's of course not really an option, because it'd have the possibility of breaking old code. The chosen approach is also highly flawed, because developers will always have to use the binary option for all new code, forever, or be incompatible with all other SQLite implementations worldwide.

Because those two options are suboptimal, I think the approach should be changed in this way instead of what RunRev has proposed:

- Binary data should always be written into SQLite in the standard SQLite way.
- When reading, LC converts binary data to normal binary data without user interaction, no matter how it is stored in the db, wether it's LC-properietary or standard 
- Remove the "binary" option from the revOpenDatabase function

That way, new code doesn't need to include additional options forever, and backwards compatibility is still guaranteed.
