[ANN] Release 9.6.9 RC-2

[matthias_livecode_150811 at m-r-d.de]

Ah, i see.

When the file size increased so much after unicode was added to LC it was promised that there would be a solution/fix or so in future that one could create still smaller standalone if unicode is not needed.
But this possibility never came into LC. So i thought it was finally added now to 9.6.9 RC2... :(


Regards,
Matthias
