In LiveCode 8.2.0 DP-1, we have introduced a new Edition: "Community Plus".

your open source application

Moreover, in LiveCode 8.2.0 DP-1:

- Several bugs have been fixed.

Notes:

1. Indy and Business Editions include *autocomplete pro*, which extends
autocomplete with the following features:

- Completions generated dynamically by introspecting the object being
edited and its message path
- An Autocomplete Snippet Manager dialog is accessible from the script
editor menubar to manage a custom set of completions.

2. You might experience some problems with autocomplete and window layering
in some *unsupported* Linux distros (e.g. XUbuntu, Mint)
