I would suppose they do, but, presumably any code improvements won't run.

If you can upload a representative 9.6.10 stack here, I can test it.

Do the 9.6.10 LiveCode files open in 9.6.3 Community?

If you’re asking if new files from from current versions can be opened in 9.6.3, then probably. But any syntax that relies on changes from 9.6.3 will obviously fail. But not sure anyone has actually tested that for obvious reasons

A lot of code can be done in scriptOnlyStacks and as these work well with VS Code you could also use that if it suits….

I open scriptOnly stacks with BBEdit.

Are you able to get LC-specific auto-indentation, syntax colouring and syntax checking in BBEdit?

BBEdit has its own auto-indentation and syntax colouring which you can customize but since there's no debugger there's no syntax checking.

[stam]

Debugger is not needed for syntax checking.
FerrusLogic’s plug-in for VSCode user LC server for these things and checks syntax, but you cannot debug.

Plus VSCode has a ton of conveniences like highlight all instances of a word you hilight. Don’t get me wrong I really like BBEdit and own a full licence, but VSCode blows it out of the water…

BBEdit Language Module for LiveCode Builder.

Put this file in ~/Library/Application\ Support/BBEdit/Language\ Modules or equivalent.

And so, MacOS 14.1 beta 2 . . .

. . . the splash screen of LC 9.6.3 comes and goes in the blink of an eye, far, far faster than 14.1 beta 1 . . . bugger all good that it does though.

As I do not need my 2018 Mac Mini at them moment I will not be downgrading it to MacOS 13 ...

MacOS 14.1 beta 3 . . .

Yes, I did.

And, no it doesn't.

[richmond62]

Now running LC 9.6.3 successfully on MacOS 14.1 . . . Don't ask, and I won't tell.

But a little bit of thinking will tell you where to look for the solution.
