Where LiveCode is Now

[PystCat]

Hi Heather,

I can only speak for myself, however I think others might be with me on this,  I think you guys ROCK!  I understand the complexities involved in creating incredibly beautiful software that makes it look very easy to make other software.   You make it easy for me to create easy to use apps and hide all the complex logic behind the scenes.  For making my life easier, I thank you guys.   

Please take all the time you guys need to keep pushing out a great system.  You guys are artists.  Like all great artists, it takes time to create a masterpiece. 

Slàinte.
Paul

I don't wish to steal Pano's thunder, but you should look for an announcement on 9.0.5 tomorrow (all being well with the build, which is currently undergoing final checks. Probably I've just jinxed it by mentioning a release date, in direct contravention of my rules.) 9.0.5 has had a fix shoehorned into it for the nasty debugger crashing that was reported not long ago.

Frustrating, but necessary work, and thankfully that is all done now and everything is working smoothly again. One does not appreciate the full complexity of these build bots until one attempts to move them intact from one place to another.

We're not. Everything we are building for LCFM Native is built with LiveCode. We cannot do it without improving LiveCode. Those improvements will come back to the community (many already have). Hermann... its not an infinite effort. FileMaker is very much a finite set of code, with relatively slow changes.
