Corona: tvOS and Apple TV (Alpha)
Today, we're happy to announce that an alpha version of tvOS (Apple TV) is available, starting in daily build 2015.2765. Alpha vs Beta Corona's support for tvOS is currently in an alpha state. In a nutshell, this means we have proven that Corona can work on tvOS. Concretely, the 'PewPew' demo sample works, but almost no testing has been done beyond that. We've learned it's generally a bad idea to release things too early. As a result, we normally choose to delay things until they reach Beta-level maturity. However, we felt it was important to give you an opportunity to play with tvOS/Apple TV...

Facebook v4 Plugin: iOS Beta, improvements, and new features
More good news for Facebook integration. Coinciding with the recent beta release of Facebook-v4 on Android, we've launched the iOS version of the Facebook v4 plugin! The iOS version does come with a couple caveats to be aware of: iOS 6 is not supported with this plugin.

Improvements In addition to iOS, we've done another Facebook SDK update to get you the latest fixes from them. The iOS version of Facebook-v4 targets Facebook SDK 4.5.1. and the Android version...
