LiveCode Forums.

Hi all: I am returning to LC dev after a long hiatus, so excuse me if this information has been posted in the interim an obvious place:
I am not sure which version of the LC engine I am using. When I look at About, I get something like LiveCode 8.1.1 | Build 14008, whereas the downloads link uses numbers like LiveCode 8.1.1 Indy edition STABLE, etc. How can I make absolutely sure that I am using a stable build and not some release candidate RC or DP build? Is here a master cross-referenced list of commit and build numbers somewhere? Thanks for the info...

I am always very careful to get my LiveCode downloads from here: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/
where downloads are ALWAYS very accurately labelled as to whether they are
STABLE, Release Candidates or Developer Previews.

If you type in the message box "put the version", you will see if you are currently running a DP or an RC or a stable version:

e.g.

--> 9.0.0-dp-4
--> 8.1.2-rc-1
--> 8.1.2

Or just take a look at the filename of the app/exe!
If it does not contain any rcX or dpX then it is a stable version.
