Better Rendering Performance
New high performance graphics engine delivers up to 10x better graphics performance than ever before!

Can anyone tell me if the v5 Redering Performance affects everyday business apps?
i.e. NOT graphics centric apps.

Is my previously developed app supposed to run faster now on v5?
And on what platforms?

Specificaly Android?

Edit:

Fastest App Performance - New

10X faster rendering performance than previous versions means LiveCode built apps are faster and better than ever. Applications already written in LiveCode can take advantage of the hardware acceleration without rewriting a single line of code.

Woo Hoo!

end mouseUp

Transition effects were not supported on Android until version 5. That's one of the new improvements.

Note that we will be adding the new graphics acceleration and in-app purchasing for Android in the 5.0.1 release very shortly, and this is included in any 5.0 purchase. Or you can wait for that release to upgrade.
