Anton 8-Feb-2008 [470] | Geomol, nice work ! |
Geomol 13-Feb-2008 [471] | My database NicomDB, created with my friend Martin Nyberg, is going open source under GPL license. The plan is to release the source a little at a time, so we can make sure, everything is working with as many versions of REBOL as possible incl. the coming R3. For now, my original thesis for an education, I ended some years ago, is available at: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdb/thesis.pdf It describes much of the unique concepts of this relational database. |
BrianH 13-Feb-2008 [472] | GPL with commercial closed-source option? |
Geomol 13-Feb-2008 [473] | Yes. |
BrianH 13-Feb-2008 [474] | Good business model :) |
TomBon 13-Feb-2008 [475] | geomol, interesting concept. It will also be interesting to see the performance and behavior with different filesystems like: ZFS,REISER, NFS XFS, CFS, GFS etc. in mysql you can choose the database engine, with nicomDB you choose the filesystem for different features. (e.g. REISER for speed, NFS for distributed networking, CFS/EncFS for crypto, GFS for cluster etc. :-) any aprox. date when it will be available? |
Henrik 13-Feb-2008 [476] | Geomol, so why GPL instead of BSD? |
Geomol 13-Feb-2008 [477] | I'm confident, we talk weeks, not months. The first part of the code probably in days. From experience, I know, time estimates on software projects are very hard to do, but in this case, all the old code is there, I would just like to review it, test and optimize a little before release. |
Henrik 13-Feb-2008 [478] | should movve to ann-reply... |
Geomol 13-Feb-2008 [479x2] | Henrik, as I understand those licenses, with GPL, you can only use the code for free in GPL projects. With BSD, you can use the code for free in not-open-source projects too. This way we hope ot finance further development by close-source licenses. |
yes, sorry | |
Geomol 19-Feb-2008 [481] | The first version of the database, NicomDB, is released. See group !NicomDB |
PatrickP61 23-Feb-2008 [482] | Geomol, Just read your NicomDB thesis and thought it was well done. Just a quick note about a mis-spelling on page 36 toward the bottom. If we think back to the four basic operations on a data record, they are Read, White, Rewrite and Delete. I think you mean "Write" instead of "White". |
Geomol 24-Feb-2008 [483] | REBOL postscript dialect version 0.4.2 is out, BSD license. http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.r Documentation here: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.html Added PageSize with support for A4, A5 and US Letter for now. Added images. Example of use: do http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.r write %palms.ps postscript [DeviceRGB page [translate 100x400 scale 72x72 image http://www.rebol.com/view/palms.jpg]] The file palms.ps is now a PostScript file describing a page with an image on. Try view or print it. |
Geomol 26-Feb-2008 [484] | REBOL PostScript dialect v. 0.4.3 released. http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.r Doc: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.html Added decimal! option for size in TEXT alignment. Moved TRANSFORM up front in PAGE, so it's possible to let a transform work on a whole page instead of just a PATH. Added description of COMMENT to doc. |
Pekr 2-Mar-2008 [485] | Carl just announced R2-beta world. If you want an account, ask BrianH, Henrik or Gabriele. The purpose is to proceed with 2.7++ releases ... |

PeterWood 6-Mar-2008 [488] | In March 2007, Olivier Auverlot published his second major book on ÒREBOL Ð Guide du programmeurÓ. Written in his native French the book has been well received, not least by Carl Sassenrath: ÒYes, Olivier has done it again with another good book on REBOL.Ó Olivier and I have been working on an English translation, "REBOL - a programmer's guide" for a little while now. The book will eventually be published in both printed and electronic form on lulu.com. The prices are likely to be Euro 25.00 for the printed edition and Euro 16.99 for the portable document format version (pdf) version. (For those of you outside the Euro zone, Lulu also provides prices in Pounds Sterling and US Dollars.) As the translation is likely to take some time to complete, we are providing exclusive previews of each chapter for those who don't want to wait until the whole book has been translated. The previews will only be available until the complete book is ready. Each chapter will be published as a pdf once it is available and will cost Euro 2.99. The first chapter "Discover Rebol in an hour" is a hands-on introduction to Rebol for programmers following the development of an automated File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client. It covers many facets of this highly productive language. It is available today at http://www.lulu.com/content/2092020 The next three chapters, "The Rebol Language", "GUI, graphics and sound" and "Networking and the Internet" will be available within the next few days. Olivier is the author of the book; I am the author of any mistakes that have crept in during the translation. |
PeterWood 7-Mar-2008 [489] | Chapter 2 of "Rebol - a programmer's guide" is a thorough grounding in the basics of the language covering variables, datatypes, lists, control structures, functions, objects, parsing and dialects. The preview is now available at http://www.lulu.com/content/2160570 |
Geomol 8-Mar-2008 [490] | NicomDB First full version of index-layer with all functions is released. http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdb/ See group !NicomDB |
PeterWood 8-Mar-2008 [491] | Chapter 4 of "Rebol - a programmer's guide" describes Rebol's advanced network programming features. Using TCP/IP protocols (including client/server programming), creating network protocols, CGI scripts, producing dynamic web documents, handling XML documents, using Web Services and the Rebol//View browser plug-in are all explained. The preview is now available at http://www.lulu.com/content/2160633 |
Oldes 8-Mar-2008 [492x2] | Rebol-code-colorizer 0.9.1 (just a small bug fix and added own color class for issue! datatype) http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/code-colorizer.r |
Colorized source code: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/code-colorizer.html | |
PeterWood 9-Mar-2008 [494] | Chapter 3 of "Rebol - a programmer's guide" is an exposé of Rebol/View the graphical version of Rebol explaining the Visual Interface Dialect (VID), the DRAW dialect, handling events with VID, managing styles, and Rebol’s sound capabilities. The preview is now online at http://www.lulu.com/content/2175653 |
Oldes 12-Mar-2008 [495] | Rebol-code-colorizer 0.9.2 uploaded http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/code-colorizer.r (fixed bug with single escape char in string "^^") |
GiuseppeC 12-Mar-2008 [496] | Oldes, what about uploading your colorizer to rebol.org ? If you don't have the time I could do this for you this round. |
Oldes 14-Mar-2008 [497x2] | ok.. I will.. but first have to write a script to automate it |
It's uploaded, BUT I found, that rebol.org has big problem with encodings... more in library channel | |
[unknown: 5] 14-Mar-2008 [499x2] | http://www.rebol.net/upnews/0025.htmlPlease make your comments regarding callbacks. |
Great News! The release of 2.7.6 has arrived ----> http://www.rebol.net/upnews/0026.html | |
PeterWood 15-Mar-2008 [501] | This year's LibFlashCon will be held during the second half of June and for the first time will be open to all Library members. See LibFlashCon2008 group for details. |
Geomol 16-Mar-2008 [502] | NicomDB index and relative layers version 1.0.0 is released. http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdb/ See group !NicomDB |
Geomol 21-Mar-2008 [503] | Electronic Arts IFF ILBM loader: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/rebol/libs/gfx/iff.r Can handle 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 color images, HAM6 images (4096 colors) and HALFBRITE (64 colors). HALFBRITE hasn't been tested yet, as I couldn't find such an image easily. Handle both compressed and non-compressed images. This is an example, where rebcode would help a lot, as a 320x200 image can take several seconds to uncompress. Usage: iff-image: load-iff %some_picture.iff img: iff-image/as-image img now is a REBOL image!, than can be viewed like: view layout [image img] |
Oldes 27-Mar-2008 [504] | Cookies-daemon 1.2.0 - Modified for compatibility with HTTP scheme from REBOL 2.7.6 http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/cookies-daemon_latest.r |

amacleod 16-Apr-2008 [515] | looks great. I hate HTML. All those tags. This will be a great tool. |
Graham 16-Apr-2008 [516x2] | How does this differ from Max's html dialect ? |
xml dialect ? | |
Geomol 25-Apr-2008 [518] | GLServer for Win32 is released. There also is a Mac version, Linux is still missing. See group OpenGL. It makes it possible to do 3D graphics from REBOL using OpenGL. |
RobertS 6-May-2008 [519] | Curl NITRO is now beta at http://www.curl.comwill be welcoming languages other than just Curl. Expect a relaxed RTE license soon. Like Rebol3, Curl is now on track to only have the core remain proprietary. Pekr: think Rebol on the Surge RTE AKA Nitro ! |
