RELEASE: LiveCode 6.7 DP6

[Benjamin Beaumont]

Dear List Members.

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 6.7 DP6.

The LiveCode community and our test team have been working hard to test and
report bugs against the latest builds. Thank you once again for your
support. To give you an insight into the past week we’ve seen:

Bugs confirmed this week against 6.7: 47
Bugs fixed for this build of 6.7: 39
Outstanding confirmed bugs against 6.7: 22

We had planned to make this build a release candidate but with the level of
testing that has taken place and the issues raised it was appropriate to
continue in the development preview cycle.

Our intention is to put out weekly releases of 6.7 with the fixes we've
applied during the week, regardless of the outstanding bug count. The
feedback we are getting is that most of you would prefer this.

* 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.*

*Release Focus*
1) Refinement towards the release of 6.7

*Known issues*
As stated about there are 22 bugs that have been confirmed that our
development team will be working on next week. The full list can be found
here:

*Release contents*
The number of bugs fixed is so large that it no longer makes sense to
include a summary in the release email. Instead, please look at the bug fix
section of the release notes which can be found here:

*Feeding Back*
Please report any issues at quality.runrev.com. Where possible, please
check the list of outstanding bugs at the link above to ensure you are not
duplicating a report. Having said that, our team is here to help so we’ll
mark duplicate bugs as they come in.

*Thanks*
A special thanks to Mark Wieder, Richard Gaskin, Trevor Devore and Mike
Kerner who all submitted bug reports with fixes that we were able to apply
directly to the product:
