It was great seeing so many of you at our live Webinar, where we provided a report on the latest LiveCode Create progress. For those of you who couldn’t take part live, here is the recording.

The three main areas we’ve made major strides in are Documentation, Deployment and the Datastore. We’ve also added a number of smaller features including a PDF widget, a Switch widget and the single window IDE for Create Native (the desktop IDE). While we did our best to answer all your questions in the webinar, we inevitably ran out of time, so I have collected all your questions relating to LiveCode Create here and provided answers in the appropriate sections below.

LiveCode Create is continuing to make great progress. With the 1.0 dp-5 release we have a number of new features and a whole slew of fixes to make using the new platform a lot nicer. The primary improvement in this release is the merging of the internal engines, so that if you are using Classic within Create, you can share Create based extensions.

We’re pleased to announce the stable release of 9.6.13. The main benefits of this release are compatibility with version 34 of the Android API, and the 6.2.1 Google Billing Library used for in-app purchasing. Also important is the update to the CEF browser version, meaning better compatibility on Windows for the Browser object.

One of the most exciting features in Create can be found in its Responsive Layout capabilities. Whilst building the LiveCode Create product we have some key questions that guide our decision making. Is there an opportunity to make something easier? Is there an opportunity to make something better? Can we do it in a way that removes friction points from the user experience? Can we do all of those things without building a tool that feels limited? We took those questions into our approach to building Responsive Layout features and as much as it’s still work in progress, it’s already becoming one of my favourite features.
