LiveCode 9.6.10 RC-1 Released

We are delighted to announce the release of 9.6.10 RC-1. This release comes with more than 20 bugfixes and improvements since the last stable version.

FEATURES ADDED:

• Android API 33 update
  The Android engine is now built using version 33 of the Android API, a requirement for new apps submitted to the Google Play Store. Note you’ll have to install “Android API 33” using the SDK Manager in Android Studio.

• RSA encryption padding modes
  The rsa encryption (and decryption) commands now accept an optional padding phrase. If no padding phrase is specified, then pkcs1 is used. For more details, see the release notes.

  The version of SQLite included in revdb’s dbsqlite driver has been updated to version 3.42.0.
