LiveCode Forums

To add another datapoint for your evaluation, we're currently in the process of adding some of the features you're missing to LiveCode as part of the LiveCode 8 project. Firstly, we're augmenting the existing LiveCode Scripting language with a complementary language offering some of the features mor...

It makes me very happy to see people making use of LiveCode on the RaspberryPi. Thanks for your contributions, Hermann!

@mwieder: We're currently in the middle of re-jigging our git branches and haven't quite finalised the scheme yet. I'll follow up to this post with details of how we're managing things once we know ourselves... one thing that we're (fairly) certain of is that "refactor" will no longer exist - it has...

Easiest thing to do is just rm -rf the prebuilt directory and do a checkout of refactor: the prebuilt folder still exists but it isn't a submodule any more. Git seems to be less than happy with this change, unfortunately.

7.0 would definitely be better - enough things have changed between 6.7 and 7.0 that you'd have to do the work twice to add it to both.

The "develop" branch is currently LiveCode 6.7. Up until earlier today, the 7.0 branch has been called "refactor-syntax_unicode" though I have just renamed it to "refactor" to save on typing and to actually describe what it does. If you do decide to build 6.7 in 64-bit mode, you'll need to tweak the...

As mentioned by [-hh], it is no longer necessary to set the RPi framebuffer to 32-bit mode. It should (hopefully!) still work if you have done - you don't need to remove the lines if added. Because the 16-bit framebuffer doesn't support transparency, windows with an alpha channel and/or a window sha...

I think it should be do-able for Linux. I'm nearing the completion of porting the Linux windowing code (everything in MCScreenDC, essentially) to use GDK instead of Xlib and have discovered that GDK allows you to set not only a window shape for transparency but also one for input filtering, and the ...

Hi Monte,

Which version of the engine are you using?

Hi Richmond, Sorry for it having been so long since my last post - I've been very busy with everything 7.0-related. One of the items on my ToDo list for 7.0 is to fix building for 64-bit Linux. I suspect that some of the issues you've been having will be the same ones I encounter when doing that. Ho...

Hi all, Just a quick note to say that the iOS and Android emulators are fundamentally different beasts: the Android emulator is a true emulator - it runs code compiled for ARM on an i386 machine. On the other hand, the iOS emulator runs native i386 code (i.e the LiveCode iOS emulator engine is a nat...

The test stack you supplied should be enough. If not, I'll get back to you for more details.

Hi Devin, I'm not convinced that the problem is exclusive to text with tabs - there are still issues with our RTL text handling generally. As such, we've opened a separate bug report: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12507 For example, the phantom characters are probably due to the selectio...

Hi Martin,

I'm afraid that the fix isn't something readily backported - it is due to the changes in the event handling loop as part of the transition to Cocoa. There may be an underlying bug here but we've been unable to confirm why it is happening.

Fraser

Something else worth noting is that LiveCode 6.7 has not yet been merged into LiveCode 7.0 so the CEF is not yet available in LiveCode 7.0.0-DP-4.
