LiveCode 9.0 DP 6 – Infinite LiveCode Preview

by Ali Lloyd on March 9, 2017 17 comments
LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-6 has just been released, and is the first developer preview containing the Java Foreign Function Interface (FFI). We’re thrilled to be bringing you this exciting first part of the Infinite LiveCode project.

I’m proud to say we have overcome these roadblocks, and without further ado, let me get stuck in to telling you how you can use it!
