![]() The engine will now return the correct value for “the systemVersion” on all MacOS versions. BREAKING CHANGES Correction to system version string on MacOS To build a standalone with native Apple architecture support you must explicitly choose the MacOS Apple option in standalone settings. Note: Apple architecture support is currently experimental. You can now select whether you want to build a MacOS standalone with an Intel slice, an Apple slice, or both on the MacOS pane of standalone settings. ![]() ![]() Support for building MacOS standalones which have native Apple architecture support has been added to the standalone builder. Standalone Builder Apple Architecture Support If this is of concern, either use the “arch” shell command to force it run using Intel architecture, or the “lipo” shell command to remove the Apple architecture slice. Note: As the server engine is a bare executable, it will run using the native architecture of the host machine. To run the IDE using Apple architecture (on supported machines), you must toggle the “Open using Rosetta” option in the LiveCode.app bundle’s “Get Info” pane in Finder. If running as Intel architecture, these will return “x86_64” and if running as Apple architecture, these will return “arm64”. You can determine which architecture a running MacOS engine is using with “the processor” function in LiveCode Script, or the “the architecture” syntax in LiveCode Builder. All externals shipped with LiveCode, except for XPDF and the dboracle revdb driver, also now support Apple architecture. The IDE and server engine are now shipped as universal binaries with both an Intel and Apple architecture slice. Native support for the arm64-based Apple architecture (eg M1, M2, etc) has been added to the MacOS IDE, standalone, and server engine. NEW FEATURES MacOS Apple Architecture Support There are also a number of fixes and enhancements, including resolution of the version number reporting issue introduced with MacOS Big Sur. The major feature of this release is support for the latest Apple Architecture, meaning you no longer need to run LiveCode under Rosetta 2 on the newest Mac OS’s. We are delighted to announce the release of 9.6.8 Stable.
