The free Community Edition has pretty much the same features as the 
Commercial Edition, for those projects where releasing under the GPL is 
a good fit.

For testing it makes things very convenient.

The Download page shows it as "DP", with a note on that page:

     DP - Short for "Developer Preview", these releases are not
     feature complete and likely to contain bugs. They have been
     made public to allow LiveCode developers to experiment with
     the latest features and feedback to the team. Users who find
     bugs can file them at http://quality.runrev.com.

Give it a try and let us know.

They won't release it until it gets your OK - yours, and from the rest 
of us.  It's a BIG upgrade, and will require a lot of testing.

Please note that in order to accommodate all the changes the file format 
has changed for v7.  If you want to retain the option of working in 
older versions you'll want to do your v7 testing on a copy of your stack 
files.

But please do test with v7.  It's arguably the most significant upgrade 
in LiveCode's history, and will require all of us to pound on it to 
ensure it does what we need it to do when it's released.

Ben's blog post from yesterday outlines the importance of v7:
