Dear LiveCoders,

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 9.6.5 RC-2.

===================
You can find the release in your LiveCode account area or get it via the automatic updater.


Release Contents

LiveCode 9.6.5 RC-2 comes with 5 regression fixes:

- Fix regression in performance of simple loops involving accumulating string variables
- Fix Android standalones built with a trial license crashing on startup
- Fix error when completing interactive tutorials when pro features pack is not present
- Fix intermittent crash on startup when apps run on iOS 15
- Fix abort on startup of mobile apps when using the Test button without the pro features pack.

Known issues
============
- The Browser widget's native layer is not shown in some Linux distros with Cinnamon window manager.
- The use of the Browser widget is not supported on Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit LTS yet.


Required Software
=================
To build iOS apps with LiveCode you must have the appropriate versions of Xcode as follows:

- macOS 10.13.4: Xcode 10.1 - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 12.1 SDK
- macOS 10.14.4: Xcode 11.3.x - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 13.2 SDK
- macOS 10.15.4: Xcode 12.4.x - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 14.4 SDK
- macOS 11.x. : Xcode 12.5.x - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 14.5 SDK

There is a full list of working LiveCode/macOS/Xcode combinations here:
https://livecode.com/docs/9-5-0/faq/faq/

Note: Whilst we endeavour to release updated versions of LiveCode supporting the latest Xcode/iOS SDKs as quickly as possible; we strongly recommend disabling automatic update of Xcode or downloading the specific version of Xcode required directly from the Apple developer portal and installing it separately.

Important: From the start of April 2021, Apple is only accepting apps built using iOS14.x SDKs. This means that, if you wish to submit apps to the AppStore you will have to be running at least macOS 10.15 in order to be able to install the necessary version of Xcode.
