[!REBOL2 Releases] Discuss 2.x releases
older newer | first last |
Graham 13-Jan-2010 [1031] | so each page has a r2, r3 and ... rn section |
BrianH 13-Jan-2010 [1032] | Common source, different generated pages. |
Graham 13-Jan-2010 [1033] | not sure if that is better ... since if you want a comparison, you have to look at separate pages. And you have to maintain more pages as well. |
BrianH 13-Jan-2010 [1034] | Perhaps. With some formatting trickery, the notes for R3 could appear as info boxes in the R2 version, and vice-versa. Or they could be skipped on separately generated pages, or all put together on one page. We should decide which since it would affect the phrasing of the docs. |
Maxim 14-Jan-2010 [1035x2] | I'd prefer a single document with R2 and R3 sections when they apply. going forward and backward, this will grow as the single source of information. so far, it has respawned so many times in the past, it just gets weaker and weaker ... the original docs which had user contributed content via the rebol desktop was the best system. its just gone downhill from there. |
this latest web site effort is the perfect place to integrate all the docs and ACCUMLATE the information into a single and cohesive reference. as a new user, old user and transitioning user, having all the information in one page is best for all cases. -you don't end up in the wrong docs (new users). -you can easily see the scope of the improvements (old users comming back or tempted to) -you can much more easily understand and grasp the changes when they are comparable in the same sheet (transition). | |
Endo 15-Jan-2010 [1037x2] | is it a known bug in R2: random 1970-1-1/0:0:0 --> win32 exception (crash) |
it works in R3 as expected | |
Henrik 15-Jan-2010 [1039x3] | nice one |
there are a few bugs in RANDOM. perhaps a 2.7.x release should be devoted to fixing them. | |
Adding to RAMBO | |
Will 17-Jan-2010 [1042x3] | in 2.7.7, send has not been fixed, the problem in the current version, is if a problem occours, the connection to the mail server isn't closed and when reaching the server max connections, send will stop working and difficult for the user to know what's up. here is a patched version, in addition to force an attempt close, it will return true on success, none on failure. hopefully it can be fixed for 2.7.8 8-) http://reboot.ch/rebol/send.r |
btw, has /SDK 2.7.7 been build? can't find it. | |
been looking for 2.7.7 changes, maybe a link to this blog http://www.rebol.com/cgi-bin/blog.r?view=0447 sholuld be put on this page http://www.rebol.com/docs/v2-7.html | |
Graham 17-Jan-2010 [1045] | No new SDK. |
Dockimbel 17-Jan-2010 [1046] | Without SDK, I can't upgrade, most of my apps are used in encapped form. |
Maxim 17-Jan-2010 [1047] | and an working intel OSX SDK would be nice... the previous intel OSX builds where 100% useless when used with View. |
btiffin 20-Jan-2010 [1048] | 2.7.7 kakks on an Atom chip single board computer running an embedded Ubuntu. From desktop -> REBOL Demos Seg Fault. Should I care? (meaning, is Atom even on the expected to worky thingy) I doubt the company will let me use any /View technology, but it would be nice to have for personal one-offs. Some of it works, most of i t kakks. Always just the Get Smart "missed it ... by that much" :) |
Graham 20-Jan-2010 [1049] | And 2.7.6 ? |
amacleod 20-Jan-2010 [1050x2] | what's "kakks" exactly? I thought atom was x86 compatible? |
How about XP on Atom..anyone tried it? | |
BrianH 20-Jan-2010 [1052x2] | Works great, with all Windows REBOL versions. It's one of my test platforms. |
Most "kakks" on Linux are distribution-specific, not processor-specific. Could you be more specific? | |
Gregg 21-Jan-2010 [1054] | I've run REBOL on Windows with a number of SBCs with no issue. |
BrianH 23-Jan-2010 [1055x4] | R2/Forward updated to 2.100.80 (mostly) compatibility. That was the last release of R3 that focused on adding functions. Since then we have been doing bug fixes, revamps (of modules and PARSE), extensions, host code, and cleaning up datatype behavior. These updates will make it into 2.7.8. |
Adding or changing functions, mind you. 2.100.80 only affected TAKE, as far as R2 is concerned, and in a way that was already there. | |
Yes, this means that we have fully working SINGLE?, COLLECT-WORDS, INVALID-UTF? and RESOLVE. Even R3 doesn't have a fully working INVALID-UTF? yet; since R2/Forward is mezzanine we can fix bugs that are still pending in the R3 natives. | |
R3 2.100.81 was the first release of the module revamp, so backporting the module system is the next step for R2/Forward. At least as much as we can fake, of course. RR2/Forward is still missing an implementation of UNBIND though, and it looks like the module system might need it. Wish me luck, or chip in! | |
BrianH 24-Jan-2010 [1059] | So move the discussion here. |
Henrik 24-Jan-2010 [1060] | Delete the old group. |
Graham 24-Jan-2010 [1061x2] | a pretty print function and now I have to deal with strings when operating on the data instead of numbers |
which is crazy | |
Henrik 24-Jan-2010 [1063] | ah, so you think that the sorting won't work? |
Graham 24-Jan-2010 [1064] | So, is R3 using a different maths library from R2 ? |
BrianH 24-Jan-2010 [1065] | Yes, sort of. Integers and money were changed, percent added. |
Graham 24-Jan-2010 [1066] | well, how about fixing decimals too |
BrianH 24-Jan-2010 [1067] | Decimals use IEEE 754 doubles. |
Henrik 24-Jan-2010 [1068] | The point would be, were tables done correctly in RebGUI, that the pretty print formatting would come at cell rendering time rather than as input to the table. In the work I've been doing, Cyphre changed table for me so that it would allow sorting on strings that contain numbers. |
Graham 24-Jan-2010 [1069x2] | ?? what table? |
There's no table in VID | |
Henrik 24-Jan-2010 [1071] | I'm talking about RebGUI, not VID. |
Graham 24-Jan-2010 [1072x2] | Henrik .. you surprise me .. you've always said you don't use rebgui ! |
Anyway, R2 and R3 display decimals to a different level of precision before sci notation kicks in .... | |
BrianH 24-Jan-2010 [1074] | Those are display functions - math is unaffected by display. |
Henrik 24-Jan-2010 [1075] | The app I'm building now requires RebGUI and so I get to know it a little bit. |
Graham 24-Jan-2010 [1076] | so either way, 2.7.8 should fix it |
Henrik 24-Jan-2010 [1077] | BrianH, interesting, so maybe it can be solved at a lower level? Or maybe it shouldn't. |
Graham 24-Jan-2010 [1078] | There's only 6 days left for the 2.7.8 release |
Henrik 24-Jan-2010 [1079] | BrianH, where did this month-based time table come from? Don't take it personally, but I wouldn't trust it, if you don't have enough control over it. :-) |
BrianH 24-Jan-2010 [1080] | I am in the "make a formatting function" camp, but it doesn't matter for math or numeric sorting. |
