25.01.2022 I have uploaded new builds of all my iOS externals to be compatible with the latest versions of LiveCode and Apple's 64 bit requirements.

25.01.2022 Recently a client needed to be able to create a button over a mergAV camera view so I implemented a new external for creating UIButtons. An android version will hopefully be forthcoming as their project progresses. This new external is available for $9 sold separately and of course is included in mergExt Complete which is still $299 for a whopping $931 worth of individual products. http://mergext.com/home/mergButton

24.01.2022 Version 2 of mergMK has just been released providing even more features of Apple's powerful MapKit via easy to use LiveCode commands and functions. The new features are: - Region changed callback - User location changed callback - Animation of custom image pins when adding them to the map and when the user drags and drops them - An optional image on the left side of the annotation callout... - Circular overlays - The option to set an offset relative to the centre of the image for custom image pins to make it easier to place the pin head on the coordinate mergMK 2 is available from http://mergext.com/home/mergMK at the same price of $49 and as part of mergExt Complete for $299.

24.01.2022 New version of mergDataGridScroller (1.3.0) resolves issues using the scroller with table style DataGrids and now maintains the scroll of the scroller during initialisation.

23.01.2022 mergFTPD 1.0.3 released today to resolve an issue with the command to stop the daemon

21.01.2022 mApp (Mobile Application Framework) 1.0.1 - maintenance release to deal with a crash when building your app with LC 6.1+

19.01.2022 Today I have updated all my externals to support building against the iOS 8.2 SDK in Xcode 6.2. mergAV has a few new features - the ability to list and choose other audio and video inputs rather than just the front and rear camera - mergAVPick will now save the image metadata if you are picking an image. This is something you can't do with the command in the engine for picking a photo.... - mergAVPick now has an extra parameter so you can get the original file data. This uses the Photos framework so is iOS 8+ - There's a new command for saving an image to the image library so that it retains it's metadata. Also not possible with the command in the engine. There is also to new externals in the free section: - mergDevice - just one function to get the device name - mergScreen - get and set the screen brightness

19.01.2022 mergExt is on sale from the RunRev store for the next couple of days for 30% off: $209.30 so perhaps it's a good time to grab an extra year?

19.01.2022 mergSocket 1.1.1 fixes an issue in TCP server and the demo now demonstrates keeping the connection open.

19.01.2022 I've just released a new open source (MIT licensed) external for iOS. It's a simple one that uses a contact ID to get the image of a contact from the address book in either thumbnail or original format. The source is here: https://github.com/montegoulding/mergContact The binaries are available under a free account at mergExt.com

18.01.2022 Today I am releasing mergLA 1.0.0. mergLA uses the new LocalAuthentication framework in iOS 8 so you can add biometric authentication to your app. It presents the standard TouchID dialog for your users to authenticate. This new external is available for $9 sold separately or is included in the bargain of the millennium mergExt Complete for $299. mergExt Complete offers a whopping $922 worth of features to LiveCode for a fraction of the cost.

18.01.2022 Apologies for incorrect link for $100 off

17.01.2022 Today I'm releasing updates for all the mergExt iOS externals to support iOS 8. In addition there are a number of new features released today. - mergCL now includes geocoding and reverse geocoding commands and a distance between coordinates function. - mergMK now has commands to get and set annotation attributes and extra annotation options and messages - mergFTPD adds a FTP daemon to an app with one command which makes if very easy to manage a directory of files from the ...desktop version of your app or just from a regular FTP client. With the addition of mergFTPD (sold separately for $9) mergExt Complete is amazing value with $913 worth of individual products for one price of $299. http://mergext.com

15.01.2022 I’ve just uploaded new builds for all my externals that support iOS 8.4 so you can build your apps against Xcode 6.4 using the latest versions of LiveCode. While you’re at the site downloading the new releases be sure to check to see how much time you have left on your access so you can take advantage of the 20% off offer if you still have some time left. It’s on the right side of the screen below your name. The other thing worth noting is I currently have a poll going on the LiveCode User Group on facebook to decide what to implement next. At the moment adding Directions support to mergMK looks like the most feasible out of the popular options. I will have some good news on CoreBluetooth (BLE) shortly anyway.

15.01.2022 mergExt 64-bit Update and $100 off mergExt Complete this week only

14.01.2022 One thing I’ve wanted for a long time is for the Test button to deploy to iOS devices in the same way that it does on Android. mergTestApp was part of the way there but I’ve gone the rest of the way with a new plugin called mergDeploy. Just install the stack and associated external in your plugins folder and LiveCode will recognise when you plugin an iOS device and list it in the Test Targets submenu. You can then click the Test button and it will install onto your device. Great for rapidly testing on a device where it counts. This new plugin is available from mergExt.com for $9 or bundled in mergExt Complete for $299 http://mergext.com/plugins/mergdeploy/

14.01.2022 lcVCS is in beta. More info on the RunRev forums.

14.01.2022 mergExt 64-bit simulator and 48 hours left to save $100

13.01.2022 All the mergExt iOS externals have been updated today to support iOS 7.1 builds with LiveCode 6.6.

11.01.2022 mergAV 3.5 for iOS and now OS X was released today along with mergReader 1.1. mergAV for OS X is a major milestone and brings the very powerful AVFoundation framework to OS X apps written in LiveCode.

11.01.2022 The emails for the mergExt kickstarter rewards went out yesterday so check your inbox!

11.01.2022 Today I'm releasing mergCL 2.0. This is a major upgrade of the mergExt Core Location external for iOS and now OS X and introduces iBeacon monitoring and the broadcasting your device as an iBeacon and the new visits feature in iOS 8 so your app can find out when a user visits one of their regular locations and even be woken up in the background. The OS X build support significant change notifications on 10.8 and region monitoring on 10.9. Find out more at http://mergExt.com

11.01.2022 Today I am releasing updates for all the mergExt externals to add iOS 8.1 support. This will mean you can build with LiveCode 6.6.5 against Xcode 6.1. I am also realising a major update to mergNotify to support OS X. The external not supports posting NSNotifications (note these are not the user/push notifications supported in the engine). The main reason we would want to do this is on OS X where we can post and observe notifications using the distributed notification center.... This means you can have multiple apps on the one machine and post notifications that the others might observe. A notification is just a named event that you might be interested to know about. Please note that there is currently a known bug in LiveCode 6.7 that impacts the performance of the external on OS X on Yosemite. http://mergext.com

10.01.2022 New versions of mergSocial and mergPop just uploaded resolving some linking issues causing crashes on older versions of iOS

10.01.2022 mergLA 1.0.1 - fixes an issue on devices where Touch ID isn't available. mergAV 3.5.7 - support for LC 6.7 + on desktop and fixes an authorisation issue on iOS

08.01.2022 mergAWS 1.2.3 adds the ability to set the timeout time for requests to complete which is necessary when working with large files

07.01.2022 Today I am releasing two new android externals as public beta. Until there is an official SDK for Android external development they will remain in beta and only be available as a bonus to mergExt Complete users. The externals are: - mergZXing - This external allows you to implement either an embedded barcode reader control or to use a third party barcode reader (Barcode Reader or Barcode Reader +) by Intent. - mergAV - This external allows you to implement a camera control ...for recording video and taking photos. For the time being you need to swap the iOS external for the Android external in the standalone settings of your app depending on which platform you are building for. http://mergext.com

07.01.2022 mergExt externals helped Sean Miller deliver on his ideas

06.01.2022 A few people have asked about android audio recording but were unable to get involved in funding a full external so I've added a small subset of the mergMicrophone API into the mergAndroid external that is currently available as a bonus to mergExt Complete users. The external can record audio from the microphone in 3gp format.

06.01.2022 Today I have released builds of all my externals for iOS 8.3 so they are now compatible with LiveCode 7.0.5 and Xcode 6.3.1 In addition I have also released major updates to mergAV and mergBanner. mergAV 4 includes barcode reading in the camera control.... mergBanner 2 includes interstitial ads

06.01.2022 mergAndroid Released! This new external available only to mergExt Complete users offers a smorgasbord of new features for LiveCode on Android. See more at http://mergext.com

05.01.2022 mergReader 1.2.0 resolves issues with mergReader on iOS 8 and uses the latest version of vfrReader.

05.01.2022 Today I have released a new iOS external called mergDropboxSync. The external uses the new Dropbox Sync SDK to take the hassle out of adding Dropbox integration to your app. The SDK handles all the syncing of files, you just read and write files locally and the external lets you know if one of the files has been updated. The external is available both as part of the mergExt Complete Suite for $299 and individually for $39. This brings the total value for the mergExt Complete ...Suite to a whopping $904 making it only 1/3 the cost of the individual components. See http://mergext.com/home/mergDropboxSync for more details. All the externals have now been built against the iOS 7 SDK. As part of the process I have had to drop support for simulators below iOS 5.0. I have also dropped support for versions of LiveCode before 5.5.2. If either of these changes impact you negatively then please let me know and I will work something out. I would also like to point out that RunRev's 30% off sale which ends in a few hours has mergExt Complete listed for $209.30 http://livecode.com/store/marketplace/mergExt-1-0-2/ ... yes that's under a quarter of the cost of the individual components!
