Infinite LiveCode: Native Field Object

As a community we successfully funded the core goal and the first two stretch goals in the infinite LiveCode campaign meaning that Foreign Function Interface, an SQLite library and Full cross platform audio recording is on it’s way to LiveCode.

We got so close with the final stretch goal, in fact we made over $10k of the $15k required for the native field widget. This project is to finish funding that stretch goal. We have already pledged the amount overfunded from the previous Feature exchange.

Infinite LiveCode

Join in the most important campaign for LiveCode of 2016. Help us take the next steps to build on the momentum already created with our Widget Building Language: LiveCode Builder. We need to make wrapping functionality from C/ObjC/Java and accessing system API calls, better, faster and easier. We need this in all editions of LiveCode so that you, the community, can get stuck in with building fabulous widgets and adding popular libraries from outside LiveCode. If we succeed, thousands of useful C/ObjC and Java libraries will become available to use in your own application or to develop the widgets we know you want. We will build the LiveCode ecosystem to a point where it can truly take its rightful place beside more well known languages.

Preserving formatting in find and replace

This month we are looking to fund preserving or changing formatting of found strings. This feature will optimize the coding process of find and replace in LiveCode saving you time and effort. Presently when trying to replace a string in a field all formatting would be lost without implementing a more time consuming workaround.

PostgreSQL SSL Support

PostgreSQL is a client-server RDBMS which the LiveCode platform has long supported. However, whilst LiveCode’s MySQL driver allows the use of SSL to secure connections this feature has never been added to the PostgreSQL driver. Being able to secure database connections is important to prevent snooping and man-in-the-middle attacks on data streams travelling between client and server.

Mac 64­bit Support

As time moves forward the viability of 32-bit Mac applications is diminishing. Certain features are not available to 32-bit applications (such as MapKit), and third-party offerings are gradually removing support for that architecture (CEF being the most notable). In order that LiveCode keep pace with Mac development, it is important that the engine be transitioned to 64-bit on Mac.
