World: r3wp

yes, rebol.exe could do damage in the extent of my OS user priviledges.

so, if rt can identify me (eg in person at devcon like you say) and 
tell you via certificate that a script is really from me (identification 
+ authentication), you can then trust the script if you trust me

hmm, host executable is open sourced, right? Who will be officila 
provider of such exe?

yes

who's the official provider of linux? :)

rt will provide an official one

but easier for RT to verify you is to accept some certificate, than 
to travel to devcon :-)

ah, linux ... so true .... you have to take some risk ....

Simply if I find some R3 distro with modified host environment, so 
better I am sure where it comes from, right?

what i mean is, the tech side of things is in rebol. the non-tech 
side is a different matter altogether.

right :)

same thing if you find any exe anywhere.

if someone sends you rebhost.exe via email... well... i would not 
run that ;)

that is why I think we should think about signatures (which is just 
a hash) and certificates in a bigger picture - mainly when we think 
about SDK apps or browser plug-in apps with lowered security level 
... the truth is, it does not need to come with initial release, 
but should not be forgotten about.

looks like R3 with 1000 animated gobs on 1000x700 window is at least 
2x faster than R2 with 1000 animated faces on 1000x700 window. (someone 
has reported 5x)

wow, this will be good :-)

guys, any other spoiler for us unlucky? :-)

what about porting Particles demo for e.g.? Or any other clever measurement 
gui stuff?

there was some simple script measuring FPS (refresh rate), it would 
be curious to see how AGG compositing helped us.

I'm gobsmacked ! :)

what does it mean? :-)

ah, gob, so some relation to gobs?

that probably mean at least one thing - you are part of early testing 
group. So, now off to private chat and prepare for being investigated 
:-)

So does it mean something like "positively surprised"? :-)

Yes, in this context, "gob" is someone's mouth, and smacking is raising 
your hand suddenly to your mouth, as you would do when surprised.

funny find anton  :-)

kibble yer gob -> eat

Today is the day for the public beat IIRC. How is it going guys? 
Hope you're not too stressed. Big thanks for your efforts to date.

beat = beta

it is not :-)

but we can beat guys, that is for sure. Hey, Gabriele, is new VID 
prototype already in the works? :-)

1.July is the first extended developer's release. 15.July is public 
beta ....

today is 15 June :-)

What's a month between friends?

:-)

yes, it is half a time between the first and second developer's release 
- so, guys, give us unlucky some spoilers :-)

Yes a nice screenshot of the new VID please. Anything, please..now...I 
begging you :-)

I better keep my mouth shut up, or I will be excluded even from second 
release :-))

that is old! :-)

OK, I can tell you one big secret.

The version now says V2.99.1.3.1 instead of V2.90.20.3.1

nooo! :-)

Satisfied? ;)

can you? watch out, or they will exclude you for the next release 
:-)

maybe I cannot but I already did :)

ah, 9 versions? so many bugs? :-)

No, VID work has not really started, yet. We want to get the foundations 
strong first.

No I must face the consequences :)
