by Heather Laine on January 14, 2022 No commentsOur schedule for the online 3 day conference in April is really filling out! Today we have 6 new sessions to announce for you, with something for everyone.

9.6.6 RC-1 brings iOS 15, Android Adaptive Icons + Your Top Fixes
by Heather Laine on December 21, 2021 No commentsJust 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.

by Kevin Miller on November 24, 2021 No commentsOur 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.

by Panagiotis Merakos on November 18, 2021 No commentsWe are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 10.0.0 DP-1. Developer Preview Release
Warning: this is not a stable release. Please ensure that you back up your stacks before testing them.
Getting the Release
You can find the release in your LiveCode account area or get it via the automatic updater. To find the dp-1 test release in your LiveCode account, please scroll down to below the list of stable releases, to find your available test releases.
Release Contents
LiveCode 10.0.0 DP-1 comes with several bug fixes and some amazing new features:
Web deployment now uses WebAssembly
The WebAssembly engine is smaller, and substantially faster than the previous asm.js version. Our benchmarking has this showing as typically around 4X faster. In addition, moving to this new architecture means that the wait command now works – along with any engine functionality which internally uses wait-like functionality. Lots of LiveCode-built applications use this internally so this feature means they will all run fine in a browser.

We believe there is no other environment available that measures up to what it can provide in an educational setting, especially for older children and young adults. To help students realise their full potential in this area, we have just signed up a new partner in education.
