World: r3wp

Robert, Yule is held at different dates, but just like Christmas 
and many other light fests, it's originally the feast of the returning 
light, widwinter. So technically, it would normally be at December 
21

There are explanations that some of them are a few days later because 
that used to be the first day that the light could reliably be measured 
to have turned

Erk, forgot about the Announce/Ann-Reply relationship.  Thanks for 
the explanation, Kaj

Anton - can't find the comlib group here.


Can you pass a decimal to Excel?  Or do you format it as string and 
pass it as %s ?

this lists the identifiers used in the dishelper http://disphelper.sourceforge.net/readme.htm

I also tried %D for date and got an error .. but %s works fine

There is group "Windows/COM support".

Is Orthodox and Eastern rite churches Christmas on Jan 7, 2011  [ 
see discussion on Announce thread ;-)  ]

That would be the start of the moon year, instead of the sun year

I posted a note on a 2.7.8 problem under !Rebol2 Releases group ( 
for the VIEW release numbered 3.1 at some 800+ Kb )

Thanks for publishing your host kit source, Robert!

Thanks a lot, Robert!

Thanks.. so here is a merge with Carl's version https://github.com/Oldes/R3A110

So here is the diff: https://github.com/Oldes/R3A110/commit/80c00af3f764d67694a4ed2878bc2e86a571408d

Oldes, just out of curiosity: why you merged the release when it 
was already based on A110?

to see the difference of course:)

That's the most important thing for people who want to see what's 
new.

ok, I thought you found some inconsistencies with our merged version.

(one can easily see the change when doing local diffon the a110 so 
that confused me)

maybe I should normalize the tabs first... some people may not want 
local diffs.

btw you have duplicated test scripts in your merge...we use .r3 suffix 
but Carl just .r for R3 scripts.

I will alter the commit... I should give it more time.. at least 
the tab incosistency is confusing.

I see bits of my example extension leaked in there :-)

yep, I put there some 'demo extension' based on your template

...also added few datatypes test..would be good if people extend 
the demo...could be uset for testing purposes.

(to see what datatypes doesn't work well in the hostkit etc.)

Btw.. is there any reason why RMA does not have own account on github 
so it would be more clear who does the work?

RMA is using own internal company repositories. If you are curious, 
all the hostkit changes has been done by me so far.

Thank you Robert 8-)

Hi Robert, any MakeDocPro documentation ? Is it based on MakeDoc 
2 or 3 ? This confuses me.

I have an old one here, will be published soon... seems I need to 
search for the extensive version on my HDs and backups.

Shadwolf: {If I had better relation with Robert and RM-Asset I could 
have updated MDP-GUI the only browser of MakeDoc Pro documentation 
made  in rebol/vid 2. :)} - interesting, what exactly it is you announced, 
then?

If I had better relation with Robert and RM-Asset...

 - few lines of code instead of tens lines of comments can change 
 it in seconds.

Was there any host-kit change?

We released only R3GUI so far. We didn't make any significant changes 
to host-kit so no reason for new release at the moment.

So the text crash bug is still there :)

Congratulations Max on releasing !Glass.

Adrian:  GLASS is currently R2 only, but will be ported in a little 
while.


GLASS R3 will make extensive use of extensions inorder to make it 
as fast as possible, at all levels of the framework.  From Liquid 
right up to the styles themselves.

It will seamleslly integrate to my Custom Gob Renderer so the same 
GLASS style will be able to render in any renderer for which a compatible 
style was built.   


this means the same layout and interface for a button will be useable 
in a normal AGG render up to a 3D game representation of that button, 
with no user code change.  just a swap in the skin being used.

shadwolf, I'm confused .. you seemed to be working again on area-tc 
and now you're leaving again?  May be you need to take that Lithium 
:(

btw..... Thanks everyone for all the cheers, it feels good for some 
of my work to finally have a bit of instant gratification  ;-)


I also want to say thanks to everyone who's taking the time to test 
GLASS.

Go Max go!

I am now planning a weekly release cycle.  It will contain all the 
"in-progress" stuff, so will allow people to help in adding new stuff 
if they want.  


If anyone wishes to contribute new styles, new modules, new documentation 
and/or tutorials and  apps, I'll be very happy to include your stuff 
within the distro and properly attribute it.  the only constraint 
is that it has to be BSD and will obviously go through my prying 
eyes, in order to keep consistency with the whole package.

sorry.. it has to be MIT or BSD (I have a preference for MIT, but 
BSD is ok too).

Github it ?

And is it possible to get rid of the library manager so that it can 
be encapped?

it can be encapped with the library manager... come on do you think 
my tools woudn't be encapable, I ship appliations.

and no we cannot remove the library manager.

yes, I might github it, but I'm still a bit noob with git, so won't 
do this right now.

The cURL binding documentation looks very good Kaj, congratulations.
