Cursor Not Changing

[Paul Dupuis]

You can search the LiveCode Quality Center yourself at 
https://quality.livecode.com/
Either search for those in the AWAITING_MERGE state or just browse the 
bugs and find them

As I said, my recall (which could be incorrect) was that LiveCode. LTC, 
had in place an automated build and testing process. No software build 
is "easy" and "effortless". So to do one final LiveCode Classic build 
with all the AWAITING_MERGE code folded in is still a level of work that 
would presumably take some time away from LiveCode Create, but it does 
seem to me to be a waste to let the code already written (the "PR" if 
you look at one of the "AWAITING_MERGE" bugs) go to waste.

More specifically, I am not sure which "this" you haven't see or what 
bits your asking if they are "common knowledge". I assume everyone on 
this list is aware of the Quality Center (BUGZILLA) bug and enhancement 
reporting system. If you have followed any bugs or reported any, I would 
also assume you are aware of the various bug "Statuses" like AWAITING_MERGE.

The LC automated build and testing, I suspect (if my memory is correct) 
is less well known as I think it was only spoken to in some of Kevin 
Miller's updates in years past (can't remember whether it was in a video 
update or text update).
