LiveCode 6.1.1 Released
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2013 2:55 pm
Dear All,
We are very pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 6.1.1. This is the first release from our new maintenance cycle.
This release contains 57 bug fixes, some of which improve the stability of the IDE making for a much nicer coding experience. The 6.0 release also had a few sporadic instabilities with images which we believe have now been resolved.
We would recommend all community and commercial users update to 6.1.1.
Thank you to all those in the community who took time to work with our quality team to reproduce issues and submit bug reports. Your support is invaluable.
