I'm experimenting with apps I built in previous LC versions. One of them runs fine in LC8 IDE, but crashes during launch as OS X 64-bit on Mac OS X 10.11.3
While it may be a bug, I'm anticipating that there is an (extensive?) list of things that currently don't work or that are anticipated will NEVER work in LC8 and/or 64-bit without conversion/replacement.
I didn't find such a thing in dictionary or Release notes, but could be missing them.
Can anyone tell me where to look? Or is this automatically a bug report?
Thanks
Bruce
Is there a 'things to do before LC8' list?

Re: Is there a 'things to do before LC8' list?
All versions of LiveCode are expected to be backwardly compatible with earlier versions, except where noted in the Release Notes for the newer version. Historically, syntax deprecations are extremely rare, so most projects should continue to work without modification in newer versions. In this regard the LiveCode team has done an exemplary job, beyond what many others making programming languages have even attempted.
That said, from time to time you may find bugs, and bugs are more likely in Developer Preview releases.
When you encounter a bug please report it to the bug DB along with a repeatable recipe so it can be address:

Thanks... how I love debugging "crashes on start" for converting big programs!
