Hi Everyone. We have released version 2.6.0 of LCM. Included you will find the new cdb_calcUpdate() API.

If you want to use the new API in your apps, you will need to export the updated ToolKit and apply it to your apps.
If you have any thoughts on this API, the sooner you report them to us the better. 
If we need to make any changes, it is best to make them before the API starts to get used in apps.

I received the following question via email. I am bringing it to the forums because we would like to hear your thoughts.

Hello when I sent the mail it appeared in the spam folder and gmail told me that the email sent might be malicious. Is there  a way to prevent this or that is what will happen. 

We added a new API for doing calculations on a key in the cloud and locally. This API is really designed to maximize accuracy and minimize data collisions for math operations on cloud data. Thanks to Sid for suggesting this API.

We just posted the new docs here: https://docs.livecloud.io/CalcUpdate/ and https://docs.livecloud.io/CalcBatchUpdate/

You may expect an LCM update with the API soon.

We released LiveCloud officially at the last LiveCode conference. We also demoed an early version of Appli during our session. The attendees showed great interest in our work on Appli and even pulled me aside to tell me how they would use this technology. 

We are creating Appli to complement LiveCode and LiveCloud. I view it as the missing story in the trilogy.

You can think of Appli as a focused IDE for business apps. Appli will connect your data to UI and the other way around. 

If you have enjoyed using tools with modern layout elements like Keynote and Adobe XD, you will be happy to hear that Appli is bringing that to LiveCode developers. Appli will enable developers to bring their business apps to life faster than ever before. We know that newcomers to LiveCode that come from low-code environments find UI integration with data in LiveCode to be a hard transition.

I am not going to get into all the features of Appli right now. This announcement is more akin to the smell of cookies when you visit grandma's house. You can't eat the cookies just yet. Sit back and enjoy the aromas as they waft about the forum.

We think this news is very relevant to LiveCloud users because we keep getting requests for examples of how to connect your UI to your data.  For the time being, we will make announcements on our progress with Appli here. We are looking for a soft launch by the end of the summer of 2020.

A video showing aspects of Appli will be released shortly.

I am sorry about skipping this release. 2.5.8 comes with some more improvements to the experience of importing data.

This update is a solid bug fix update. 

Bugfix: After importing new data with new keys, the LCM UI would not update to reflect the new data and keys.
Bugfix: After removing keys using the full key list display, importing data, and viewing the full key list display, there would be a blank row in the keys list.
Bugfix: If an import failed, the import routines would continue to run.
Bugfix: When switching tables within the code builder, your code will no longer be replaced with default code.

Improved: Window drawing is now smoother.

Hi Guys

I was wondering if its possible to release a BLOB viewer stack that people can use to incorporate into their projects?

Very similar to the login stack that you guys provide-, which makes it easy to get the basis of a projects started.

then all devs have to do is pass a BLOB id in the stack to and you have a Built in BLOB viewer from your own livecloud application.

you could also put it into the samples stack or the page that you use to export your toolkit. You can also add a button to replace the BLOB

that would be a great feature

This update is not huge, but it does have a pet peeve of mine resolved. You can now make new projects and tables by clicking on the 'plus' sign and then entering the name of the object in a dialog. I find this to be more intuitive. For those that liked the previous method, it is still available.

Hi,

So we're developing mobile apps for both IOS and Android, they are working well, and an application that should run on both Mac and Windows.

On Mac it works well both in development and compiled.

On Windows it gives "The Canela SDK missing. Please export your CandelaDB again" if stack opened in Livecode Business 5.1.

If compiled to a Windows version from Mac, it doesn't work / download data, so no luck there. *CORRECTED: It does work But i tried to log in with a user created in Mac, and I don't think password hash matched. I will try to create new user from the Windows application instead.

I've tried several things. Among them to export the toolkit from a LiveCloud Manager that runs on Windows, in case of encryption being different or something. 

As your stacks are encrypted, and encryption results can be different between platforms, could that be the issue here? 

Something is wrong in any case ....

Hello! In the cdbUser table, one key is hardwareID. What can this be used for? It's not mentioned anywhere in the documentation, as far as I can see.
Getting the deviceID to enable push notifications etc is important in many apps - is the LiveCloud hardwareID useful in this sense?

We have updated the pricing page with useful information on what a Storm plan costs and what comes with the plan.
