RELEASE: LiveCode 6.6.1

[Benjamin Beaumont]

Dear LiveCode Users,

It has come to our attention that some users posted on the forums that
6.6.1 RC1 was still crashing on Windows systems despite our attempts to fix
it. With 6.6.1 now released to the public we are looking to resolve any
remaining crashing issues on Windows in LiveCode 6.6.2. We would hugely
value the support of Windows users in helping us reproduce this issue.
Internal testing of LiveCode 6.6.1 on various version of Windows seemed to
indicate that the rendering glitches, disappearing windows and crashes had
been resolved so at the moment we have not seen any crashes with LiveCode
6.6.1 GM1.

The issues on Windows 6.6 were related to a small GDI resource leak which
was plugged in 6.6.1. It caused the Windows operating system rendering
engine to get confused, stop drawing portions of or whole windows and
ultimately causing LiveCode to lockup and crashes.

Could we ask Windows users to test LiveCode 6.6.1 once again and feedback
if they experience a crash. Please report the circumstances, a crash log
(if one was generated) and if possible, a set of steps to recreate the
crash.

Thank you for your help.

Warm regards,

Ben
