LiveCode 10 DP-5: Smaller, faster, richer

by Mark Waddingham on April 18, 2023 3 comments

I’m delighted to announce the release of LiveCode 10, dp-5.

Web Engine Size

This release includes the first iteration of the work we have been doing to reduce the download size of the web engine.

The (unicode related) data the engine needs to run has been split into three files – icu-core.dat, icu-iter.dat and icu-coll.dat.

The core data file is always downloaded, the engine will not run without it.

The coll data file is only downloaded if the browser does not have the necessary JavaScript collation APIs (recent versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox do have the necessary features).

The iter data file is only downloaded if the browser does not have the necessary JavaScript segmentation APIs (recent versions of Chrome, Safari and Edge do have the necessary features).

The result is that the current minimum size of a LiveCode web app (when running on Chrome, Safari and Edge) has changed as follows:

  • Uncompressed size has dropped from 23.6 Mb down to 15.7Mb
  • Gzip compressed size has dropped from 10.6Mb down to 7.6Mb

LiveCode 9.6.9 RC-2: Security improvements, smaller standalones and more

by Panagiotis Merakos on November 4, 2022 No comments

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 9.6.9 RC-2. This version comes with more than 20 bugfixes and security improvements.

Open SSL Update

This release now uses OpenSSL version 1.1.1q, which is required for submission to the Android Play Store. If you are submitting for Android please update to this version of LiveCode for your build.

Windows Certificate Update

The code signing certificate we use to sign the windows installer and LiveCode application has been renewed. This means that it will take a certain number of verifications before Windows Defender SmartScreen will not popup a dialog. Please do take the time to download, install and run the LiveCode application at least once to help ensure that it gains the necessary ‘reputation’.
