World: r3wp

I'm working on a new website for the R3 extensions. Here's documentation 
for the Hello World example extension:

http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/extensions/hello-world

Shadwolf, your senstivity is understood.

I'm in disguise though.

Only a few of you have known my identify.

But at this point I don't see the problem with excommunication.

So to shadwolf, I adore your efforts and admired your enthusiasm. 
 You proved yourself more excellent than the majority of REBOL adherents.

After all didn't this year we just here that Cheyenne was again voted 
for the best REBOL accopmlishment? - REALLY? that is the progress?

so how's life Louis?  ;-)

that is ST. Louis ;-)

Demitri, aka Paul

I got to be in the vote.

Paul resurected as a russian ;-)

Always know who your dealing with.

;-)

(btw.. we're polluting the announce group)

true

move to chat

It took a lot more time than I expected to create the documentation 
for the cURL binding; about as long as the binding itself. But here 
it is, together with the documentation for the example extension:

http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl

The binding is now officially released

It also marks my return in the C arena, as this is my first C program 
in fifteen years. It's also my second real C program ever

yeah, documentation usually takes up to 3 times as long as coding.... 
there is What, How and often Why to explain all the time.

I've updated the R3 ODBC extension to R3A110, see it and get it from 
http://www.diefettenjahresindvorbei.de/odbc/odbc-docs.html
This is the first version which works with date values.

GLASS RELEASE 002
---------------------------

released last week, but posting it here to make it easier to find, 
since the GLASS group has a lot of discussion in it....

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/files/glass-r002.zip


-adds the editor style, which is now able to show text and scroll 
in real-time, but still has no keyboard handling yet.
-adds a few new more advanced tutorials

-adds a new demo app which is the basis for a full text-editor in 
REBOL (you can use the load button which allows you to load text 
within the editor, it loads files almost instantaneously... I was 
surprised how quickly it loaded even 1MB files), file size doesn't 
change editor refresh speed..

very extensive history of changes, 
very extensive TO DO list

some improvements to libs here and there.

New RMA release of R3GUI is available on:

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/files/tutorial-image-style.png


-Encap friendly single file version of ALL glass libs, usable just 
like if they where external files. (Graham)

-The encap version of glass is all packaged within its own .zip file 
inside the root of the distro,  to make it easier to get started.

-Image style (jocko)
-it also has a pretty cool image style demo app.

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/files/red-text-editor-v0.5.7.png

-quite a few nuts and bolts worked on here and there.

-reworked the folder structure a bit to make it cleaner (it shouldn't 
change much from now on), tell me what you think?

-Added original SVG files used to create icons as part of distribution

-Added a few reference glass-related images for demos and tutorials.

-windows have automatic title handling when you fill their labels. 
(shown in text editor)
-many libs have had their apis improved
-extensive HISTORY AND RELEASE NOTES in docs folder.

Christian Ensel: I've updated the R3 ODBC extension to R3A110, see 
it and get it from http://www.diefettenjahresindvorbei.de/odbc/odbc-docs.html
This is the first version which works with date values.

sorry... posted to wrong group... :-(

We just put the GUI panel documentation online at www.rm-asset.com

RMA version of host-kit has been updated:

-added support for FreeType2 font handling
-fixed text caret crash (thanks to Oldes)

you can download the sources here:

http://rm-asset.com/code/downloads/files/rma-host-kit.zip

RMA version of r3.exe has been updated so it reflects the actual 
host-kit release (see msg above)


You can get the new binary from http://rm-asset.com/code/downloads/files/rma-r3-build.zip

The website for ReBorCon 2011 is now online:

http://reborcon.esperconsultancy.nl

The programme will be fleshed out a bit more

I've upgraded http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nlto Alpha 111

This is experimental because the 4.2 Ubuntu variant is not available 
and the 4.3 Fedora build has bombed out in the past. However, that 
and even the new 4.4 GLibC 2.11 variant seem to run on Syllable Server, 
which only has GLibC 2.7

This is another success for R3's attempted isolation from the C library

rebol.wik.is site is now here ... http://www.compkarori.co.nz:8000/

Announcing "r3-zmq", a REBOL 3 extension providing a low-level binding 
to the ØMQ library:
https://github.com/earl/r3-zmq


That's right, another zmq binding! This one provides a (mostly complete) 
1:1 mapping of the zmq API (v2.0.10) to R3 commands. Most of the 
zmq API is implemented, the functions still missing are: zmq_setsockopt, 
zmq_getsockopt, zmq_poll.


Examples and bundled distributions are forthcoming in the near future. 
But building it against ZeroMQ 2.0.10 and utilising the official 
zmq API documentation [1], you should be able to follow the ZeroMQ 
Guide [2] quite nicely.

[1] http://api.zeromq.org/2-0-10:_start
[2] http://zguide.zeromq.org/

A simple example illustrating client/server-style interaction is 
now included with r3-zmq:
https://github.com/earl/r3-zmq/blob/78a89d/examples/hwserver.r3
https://github.com/earl/r3-zmq/blob/78a89d/examples/hwclient.r3

Finally, here's a r3-zmq preview package, containing pre-built binaries 
of the extension as well as the 0MQ library for both, _Linux and 
Win32_:
http://bolka.at/2011/rebol3/zmq-20110303-g6446f9.tar.gz


With this package you can conveniently run the examples and play 
around without having to compile or install anything. The included 
README.dist.mkd should get you started with running the examples.

If anyone is interested, I have started work on a REBOL Redis API 
at http://code.google.com/p/disreb/. Redis is a nice no-SQL database 
(see http://redis.io) that I'm using at work to keep various processes 
written in several different languages across multiple computers 
in sync. There didn't seem to be a Redis API for REBOL, so I thought 
I would write one. Although it's still early days and mostly implemented 
for my needs at the moment, someone else might find it useful.

Feedback, suggestions most appreciated! Thanks!

R2 or R3?

Pekr... from the link above: "...Currently developing with REBOL 
v2, may be compatible with REBOL v3..."

http://code.google.com/p/disreb/source/browse/disreb.r

not R3 compatible

Josh, if you're interested, I've got somehow working version for 
R3
