Release 9.5.1 RC-1

[panagiotis merakos]

Dear list members,

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 9.5.1 RC-1.


Getting the Release
===================
You can get the release at https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ or via
the automatic updater.


Release Contents
================
LiveCode 9.5.1 RC-1 comes with more than 20 bugfixes, including corrections
and enhancements in dozens of Dictionary entries.
Also, the long standing crash-when-debugging issue, originally fixed in
9.0.5, is now fixed in 9.5.1 RC-1 as well.

Note that support for building with Xcode 11.1 was originally planned for
this release. However, because of some changes in the iOS 13 SDK (Apple has
removed the MPMoviePlayerController that was used by our iOS player), we
had to refactor our iOS player implementation. Due to the invasiveness of
this change, it was deemed outside the remit of a maintenance release and
thus support for Xcode 11+ will appear in 9.6 - the first dp of which will
appear shortly.

In any case, note that you do NOT need to build your standalone with Xcode
11+ to support deployment to iOS 13+ devices. You can still use Xcode 10.1
to build the standalone app, and it will continue to run on iOS 13+
devices.


Known issues
================
- The Browser widget's native layer is not shown in some Linux distros with
Cinnamon window manager.
- The use of the Browser widget is not supported on Ubuntu 18.04+ 64 bit
LTS yet.
