World: r3wp

You have a GUI?

Carl, we've been seeing this dup thing happening sometimes lately. 
Ladislav gets them too.

They have different timestamps.

Updated the doc again, adding above. Hit F5.

You might want to add the rest of the R2/Forward additions to the 
list for 2.7.8 too, with checkmarks.

i clicked twice because it was not responding (grey tint), sorry

2.7.8 additions from R2/Forward: RESOLVE, CD, MORE, LS, PWD, RM, 
MKDIR, SINGLE?, COLLECT-WORDS, INVALID-UTF?, and some compatibility 
fixes to ASCII? and LATIN1?.

Those can be added to the list.

adding...

Though they don't need an entry each. One for the additions, one 
for the fixes.

The 2.7.7 R2/Forward stuff is here: http://www.rebol.com/cgi-bin/blog.r?view=0447#comments

updated above, but left off mkdir... isn't make-dir close enough?

It's just for compatibility with R3. It doesn't really need to be 
there either.

ahh... did it sneak into R3?

Yeah. You added it.

my fault. ;)

And doesn't help me at all, because my DOS background makes me type 
MD instead :(

ok, I've got to go find some food... but will return in a while to 
do a trial build with most of this done.


BTW, still missing the fixes Graham made to HTTP. He mentioned it 
the other day.

I'll remove MKDIR from the mezzanine source in DevBase.

(I thought I added his fixes a few years ago... but perhaps they 
were removed due to a problem, not sure.)

You should really go over the updates there soon. There are fixes 
to R2 and R3.

what?

In DevBase.

The old one or new one?

The new. You've been in GUI doc hell, and not noticed it.

Can I put in the EXTRACT fix before you release 2.7.8?

Ah, ok. Will look there. Whew! You had me thinking that the old DevBase 
was still running.

yes

compatible, right?

Ok, thanks for the help digesting all this. Stuff that's done can 
be merged. Fortunately, some thinks like UNBIND are "done" because 
they are very close in R3.

False and unset were being considered to be default values. Given 
that, noone would have intentionally put those values in their blocks.

If I had one more wish for a native, it would be ASSERT.

Ok.

BBL

It will only be used if it's native, and the mezzanine ASSERT/type 
doesn't work for paths.

Carl "BTW, still missing the fixes Graham made to HTTP. He mentioned 
it the other day ..."


Yes, I keep saying where they are and you keep asking .. so I have 
to track you down to tell you lol.  

Wouldn't it be easier if registered chat users could add to a comment 
page for every page on rebol.com ??  Then nothing would be lost.

Chat #7083

http://rebol.wik.is/Protocols/Http

Who's the current networking expert ?

Doc and Maarten know this stuff. Probably Gabriele too.

None of whom are active in this area

is active

Are they active in any other REBOL forum?

area = rebol2 networking 
and not forum

Oh, I thought you meant here. And Doc writes a web server and networking 
protocols, Maarten has written a HTTP client (at least), and Gabriele 
has written other networking stuff. They're active.

EXTRACT fix posted to DevBase #7122.

Thanks Graham.


(Also, we will be adding comment sections to the pages of the website 
soon.)

Ok, thanks Brian.

MKDIR removed too. The mezzanines should be current, except for your 
installer changes and Graham's HTTP fix.

APPLY fixed. Though I am hoping the mezzanine will be replaced with 
a native :)
