World: r3wp

view probably is double buffered - but getting access to that buffer 
is something that im not sure we can do

So, today is THE DAY? :-)

isnt it the 15th?

no, 1.6. R3 should be released to selected group of developers. I 
don't even want to be part of that group, but it is cool anyway :-)

15.7. should be public beta release?

ahh ok.  Doesnt sound like they've finished the bits im most interested 
in yet anyway (Draw etc)

well, not sure View is part of initial release, but who knows ...

at least with a core and async I can get the MMORPG server engine 
back up and running...

1.6 in this country

first day of winter

what? first day of winter? :-)

To late, but GLO! = Graphical Lowlevel Object

Too late.

how /library changed - no change yet, i see library! and routine! 
in R3 but i assume that is still using the R2 code... (or not, but 
Carl has not documented it yet). I think, this will be part of the 
open source code, so you should not need to worry.

petr, we actually put together a "micro vid" for today's release 
- just for testing / examples so you don't have to code gobs directly... 
done in less than a day.

i think those who have been good all year might get a nice present 
today. :P

Gabriele, if I may: Lucky bastard. :-)

:P

hey henrik, i thought you had been good this year, but i have to 
change my opinion now :P

where is the christmas tree?  ;-)

if you haven't made one, no gift for you.

nooo! :-)

I have many trees,  which one should I decorate!   :-)

Santa will drop the gift based on how good the tree is.

hummmm....

on how good the tree is at rebol?

gabriele has the docs (or even the dialect) for rich text been completed 
yet?

docs, not completed, dialect is running.

nice - any notes on its execution speed vs other richtext controls 
eg MSRichTextBox ?

don't think anybody has done benchmarks yet.

would you consider it a good idea for 3rd party developers to make 
an RTF importer or will RT do that?

former :)

I could make a checklist?

for things to do?

may be early... but feel free to

Already started. Just throwing stuff in. You can of course intervene 
freely, if you think RT will do this.

I'm still pondering on the right christmas tree to choose...

So, who's been a bad boy then?  We can eliminate those and figure 
out who the good boys are :)

Petr has been very bad.

Max has to do better.

Graham... hmm... you used logic in some discussion, that is a very 
bad thing to do, as Terry and Louis teach us.

Ashley's been very good though, he's been spreading the word of Santa 
around.

:)

I had a Rebol application running at a large US medical trade show 
last week

no pictures of Santa though ...

hey, I've been adopting santa as a religion over and over  :-)  I 
even tried to convert terry last week!

I even asked "the real" sassensanta in person!

so Gabriele (or anyone else for that matter)  ... tell me under which 
tree I should expect santa to deliver anything?
