The release notes for the 6.7 branch of the LiveCode engine were updated
today with information about the 64-bit plan.

https://github.com/runrev/livecode/commit/1549d6f09938a1005eabbbf65981b54ac95dff1d

The relevant section is this:

"The final goal (64-bit support) will be gradually worked towards over the
next few LiveCode versions as the engine gets 'decarbonated' (usage of
Carbon APIs which do not have 64-bit equivalents removed)."

Hopefully gradually is code for "sometime before February, 2015".
