Anyone signed up to the Workshop track can enter, and there will be a special “Best Beginner” prize for novices submitting entries.

by Heather Laine on December 21, 2021 No comments

Just in time for the Holiday Season! This release is stuffed to bursting with improvements that you, our customers, have asked for. We ran a survey recently to find out which issues mattered the most and we’ve done our very best to fix as many of them as possible in this release. So while it’s just a maintenance release, we think you’ll find it a treasure trove of goodness.

iOS goodies

In addition to fixing issues we now support iOS 15 and the corresponding Xcode 13 in this release. This will enhance your experience on Monterey and allow you to use the very latest iOS features in your apps. You can also now allow for the Notch and other device furniture using our new “safe areas” function.

Using the New Web Features in LiveCode 10-dp-1

by Kevin Miller on November 24, 2021 No comments

Our Vision for the Web in LiveCode 10

We’re really excited to bring Web up to a first class citizen in LiveCode 10. Our goal is that you’ll be able to use cards, stacks and the LiveCode language almost anywhere you might previously have needed JavaScript. We’ve learned from past incarnations of LiveCode on the web what we need to do so you can quickly create an amazing experience with your web apps.

Some of the changes here will have major benefits for LiveCode on all platforms. We’ll come back and talk about some of that in a moment. First though, I want to highlight a number of things you can do in our first developer preview of 10 on the Web, today.
