World: r3wp

But it's nice to see some progress in this area, I'd like to experiment 
with vectors bit more and post some new tickets to CureCode :)

Most of the vector! bug tickets fixed in alpha 51 were migrated from 
the R3-Alpha tracker.

Steve - how could vector help to speed operations on images, if image 
is separate datatype?

Yes, I know those bugs very well ;)

I like how vector is molded now. No need for my vector-format function 
now.

Steve - isn't convolution (where you set matrix too) enough for image 
manipulation type you mention?

That's the point Pekr, If we can't convert vectors to binaries (and 
the reverse) it's useless

image/rgb returns a binary serie

Bolek, there is one bug in how vectors are molded (#756), but otherwise 
it's nice :)

Steeve I wrote some conversion functions for vector<->binary, if 
you've got access to R3-alpha, you can find it there.

you mean the Altme world ?

yes

don't have

Has anyone tried to-binary of a vector! in alpha 51 yet? Don't knock 
it until you've tried it.

anyway, i'm asking for fast natives convertion functions here, not 
for mezzanines, if so, i can do them myself

I've got error on to binary! vector. Also WHY? function tries to 
open non-existing page.

Bolek, R3-alpha has been retired. Post the files elsewhere before 
the server for the world goes away.

BrianH, yes it's the first thing i tried, it doesn't work

Write it up :)

Noone noticed that bug at first ?

Pekr perhaps or Rebolek

Submitting bugs in Altme was much more fun than some web-based service...

But OK :)

Vectors have been put on hold for a year, they didn't work at all. 
At first means since two nights ago.

i have a very slow connection currently, most of the time i'm disconnected 
-_-'

It's not exactly true that they didn't worked at all. I was able 
to do drum and subtractive synthesis plus AIFF/WAV loader/saver with 
vectors. It was just NOT easy :)

Brian --- R3-alpha is archived on REBOL.org, for world-members only 
(ie the same read rules as the AltME version itself).

So good news -- we have a persisent archive of that world: no need 
for Rebolek to rush

But bad news -- not many people can see it -- so any gems do need 
to be ported to more visible locations.

Having the ability to apply some math and matrix operations over 
vectors would be nice. Having the ability to use such functionality 
to modify some binary (e.g. image) would be cool too.

Well, make it easy by submitting bug tickets, Bolek :)

Rebole - but there is no sound functionality in R3, no? So what was 
it good for? :-)

I can only emphasize the importance of submitting Curecode reports. 
Curecode is the only place Carl looks, and he personally thanked 
me for submitting the /SKIP reports, which are now all fixed.

Yes, I will. I just miss the easiness of doing that from Altme, I'm 
not a big fan of web-services :)

You keep forgetting the word "yet" in your sentences, Pekr :P

Curecode scales better than AltME's bug tracker and we can comment 
bugs.

Pekr: for me, no sound in R3 is about as good as "sound" in R2...

Besides DocKimbel has already published API documentation for using 
Curecode through REBOL.

So no difference here, really.

CureCode makes the job of reviewing and tracking bugs *much* easier.

So - Steeve - are you going to submit vector enhancement proposals 
to CureCode?

That's why it will likely be replacing RAMBO too.

Steeve, if you are worried about your English the reviewers can clean 
that up in your tickets, with your permission.

maybe we could already notice Carl about coming tickets in Chat? 
Maybe he has some ideas for vectors too?

R3 chat heading #1318 is the place to be having this discussion.

Pekr, i'm not writing fluently enough, could you write the proposal 
instead ?

connected/disconnected/connected... hard to follow you guys

Well, I can write anything, it is just that in order to properly 
specify such stuff, you have to understand the topic, which is not 
my case. Maybe you could write it down to text file off-line, and 
once connected send it over the email to someone here, who would 
then put it in CureCode ...

oh come on !!! i'm just asking for scalar math operations, like it 
works on tuples and pairs

It's not a big deal. Steeve can post to Curecode and request for 
a clean up.

I think I get what Steeve is requesting. If he doesn't get it submitted 
by tomorrow, I'll have a go at writing it up.

No time for that today though.
