module.lcm vs module.2.lcm #8

Open macMikey opened 2 years ago

bwmilby commented 2 years ago

module.lcm is the original code. There were some instruction changes made that were not backwards compatible. Technically you could build a widget with both module.lcm and module.2.lcm that would work with earlier versions of LiveCode.

Most if not all of Hermann Hoch's Widgets were 'fat', included both module.lcm and module.2.lcm, I think he had some comments in the LC forums about the differences in the module versions. The bottom line is that module version one is for v8 and the newer format is for v9.x +
