8.1 Updates and mergNotify 2

[monte]

Hi LiveCoders

Today I am releasing updates for all the mergExt externals to add iOS 8.1 support. This will mean you can build with LiveCode 6.6.5 against Xcode 6.1.

I am also realising a major update to mergNotify to support OS X. The external not supports posting NSNotifications (note these are not the user/push notifications supported in the engine). The main reason we would want to do this is on OS X where we can post and observe notifications using the distributed notification center. This means you can have multiple apps on the one machine and post notifications that the others might observe. A notification is just a named event that you might be interested to know about.

Please note that there is currently a known bug in LiveCode 6.7 that impacts the performance of the external on OS X on Yosemite.

Cheers

Monte

It looks like I missed uploading mergPop 2.0.10 to the individual purchase location. It's up there now.

Hey Monte,

I seems to be having a few issues initiating a camera instance with "mergAVCamCreate" in mergAV. Nothing seems to happen in both the demo stack and previously working test app. Previous versions of mergAv worked as expected.

I'm testing via Liveode 7.0 & 6.6.5 on an iPad air running iOS 8.1

Let me know if you need any more info from me

Cheers,

Neil

Hi Monte,

It is available now and mergPop 2.0.10 works fine with iOS 8.1 and LC 6.6.5.

Greetings,

William

@runrevneil Thanks for the report. I'm checking it out.

@runrevneil I just uploaded mergAV 3.5.7 which should resolve iOS 8 issues.
