Dear list members,
We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 8.0 DP 5.
Warning: this is not a stable release. Please ensure you back up your
stacks before testing them.
***Known Issues***:
- revBrowser fails to initialise in the 32-bit Linux engine. This causes
the dictionary to fail to render.
- The release notes and updater text contain references to JSON
import/export library extension. This will in fact be in DP 6.
LiveCode 8.0 DP 5 contains the following changes:
Xcode 7.0
iOS 9.0 SDK is now part of the valid SDKs that can be used for iOS
standalone application deployment, from Mac OSX 10.10.4.
If you installed the new version of Xcode at another location than the
previous one, we invite you to update the Xcode in Preferences > Mobile
Preferences.
All the previously existing versions of iOS supported are still supported.
Plus:
- scriptOnly stack property (contributed by Monte Goulding)
- Script editor variables filter (contributed by Charles Warwick)
- Popup widget syntax
- LiveCode Builder: sort using arbitrary comparison handler
- LiveCode Builder: defeault canvas constructor
