Look at Livecode 6.7 & 7.0

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.... Many many users submitted bugs for Metacard / Revolution/ and now Livecode that went unfixed for what seem like forever. Well the new versions of Livecode which have been in the works for well over a year have fix many of those old time bugs in versions 6.7 and 7.0.

I knew what your thinking? Why two versions. I asked several times myself and no one would tell me either. However after the actual release it became clear that 7.0 is the full unicode version which does break backward compatibility with any apps that accessed text, image data, and arrays. That where version 6.7 steps in its the backwards compatible version without the new unicode.

I decided to do a little video overview Editorial of the new Livecode versions. If you like check it out, below.

I should also note when I went to Livecode web site to download the new versions of Livecode, it does not have a link anywhere for the actual versions 6.7 or 7.0. Instead it gives you version 6.6.5. I tried to ask runrev where the new versions where, but I guess there to busy to tell us where there open source stuff actual can be downloaded from.

After a week of asking anyone I could find, I finally found out from another Livecode user where this secret download web page was at that has all of Livecode downloads. I will share that with you here. Because we all just want to know http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/  Link Here



Have fun :)
