Where are the details about the new 5.0/5.5 features ?

[Yann]

Currently evaluating LC 5.5 to see if I should upgrade from commercial 4.6.4 to commercial 5.5, and perhaps to complete. The product info pages talk about textures, animated sprites, and more generally about accelerated graphics, but where do we find a detailed doc about these important new features and how to implement them in our programs ? I don't even know which parts of LC do actually take benefit from the use of OpenGL...

Thanks a lot for enlightening me

There is some information in the Release Notes for 5.5.0 and Release Notes for 5.0.2 The online documentation at docs.runrev.com has not been updated to show all the new features, not certain about the built-in documentation as I do not use LiveCode.

OK, thanks a lot : I hadn't found these 5.02 release notes where the graphics acceleration is developed, because of some dead links on the site. Now things are getting a bit clearer. A complete tutorial on the subject would be more than welcome, imho...

If you look at the last page in the Release Notes there are links to the previous release notes.. Yes, demo stacks of the new features would be awesome, but I think we may have better odds winning the lottery
