Venturing forth . . . Mac OS 13

[richmond62]

In the light of various postings about short-comings re LC on Mac OS 13
I wonder if I should go for what was offered to me this morning on cranking
up my Mac Mini having come back from Germany:

"With 9.6.3 Community version, showing the message box, or the script window of a button, crashes LiveCode right away."

Let's see... should I start a 4GB download of a *beta* operating system? Hmmm....

[richmond62]

My Mac Mini got "all stroppy" telling me I needed an extra 12 GB for installation (it had 17 GB free), so I went to bed, having set up the 12.5 final version install.

Sure your MacMini supports macOS 13? Mine doesn't...
The system requirements read "MacMini: 2018 and newer".

[richmond62]

Mine is a 2018 model.

Ah, OK, lucky you.

[richmond62]

Not so lucky if LiveCode 9.6.3 goes pear shaped.

The installer stinks:

1. It downloads and weighs in at 12 GB.

2. It then claims it needs 12 GB more space to install: but I could NOT get the thing off the ground until I have shifted about 24 GB of guff off onto backup drives.

When I have finished copying all the stuff back onto my home drive I will crank up several versions of LiveCode and see what gives.

Can't wait. Colin reported that standalones made with 9.6.3 worked but the IDE crashed on simple things,

[richmond62]

LiveCode 8.2.0 (dp 2) works without a hitch.

LiveCode 9.6.3 'Community' works without a hitch.

LiveCode 9.6.8 works without a hitch.

LiveCode 10.0.0 (dp 4) works without a hitch.

ALL I have done so far is start up each version, open a new stack, run a command in the
messageBox, and opened a cardScript.

I can try anything else that anyone suggests tomorrow (i.e. in about 18 hours from now).

[richmond62]

Oh, and my Big, Heavy and Fairly Hairy Devawriter stack functions 100% in LC 9.6.3.

[mwieder]

Sounds good. Colin said opening the messagebox in 9.6.8 community crashed LC, so I guess that's fixed in the current build.

Not round these parts:
