World: r3wp

work around is do read <url>

ok

There seem to be a problem with read/binary. Maybe it's the same 
bug!?
read/binary http://www.rebol.com
returns empty.

haven't seen that one.

I've reported it in comments to 2.7.4 - OSX build.

Any report of text support in DRAW dialect on OSX? Is it known by 
Carl, that text is missing?

yes, freetype support is not integrated in the OSX build, I think

it never was

I really need that one for Canvas RPaint!

I would really like to see the window fix that is posted in the blog 
somewhere to make windows open properly at the front in OSX. I wonder 
if Carl has seen it?

Maybe you should report it as a comment in his blog! I think, he 
sees it then.

it was actually reported as a blog comment about 2 weeks ago

hmm, as I can see, RAMBO needs "moste requested fix" voting mechanism, 
or we start missuing blog for that :-)

I assume, looking at the order of top-down, that the next Bus-OS-Stop 
for beta releases will be linux? :-)

Btw... Calr spoke about a different compiler used for Windows version, 
what C compiler is that? , just currious...

Yes, I'm curious about that also.

Geomal: WinXP SP2 + view 2.7.4 the circle / line/ triange worked 
fine.

Geomal: WinXP SP2 + view 2.7.4  it worked

It's funny, how you spell my nick! :-D

Does line-join in the DRAW dialect works with Windows version? There 
seem to be a problem with OSX version:


view layout [box 200x100 effect [draw [pen red line-width 15 line-join 
round line 10x10 90x10 90x90 10x10 polygon 110x10 190x10 190x90]]]

I think, they both should be with rounded corners.

only second one is rounded - View 1.3.2 on W2K here ...

What about line-cap?


view layout [box effect [draw [pen red line-width 15 line-cap round 
line 10x10 90x10 90x90]]]

rounded

ok, I'll report it.

line-cap doesn't seem to work with OSX version.

hmm, maybe I should try View 2.7.4 under Windows too though ...

maybe Cyphre did some changes in AGG ...

and to have some fun, it's on us to find what changes as with 2.6.3. 
great...

anyway - 2.4 AGG is stop gap for us ... Maxim decide to release 2.5 
under GPL ...

so hopefully changes will end in one day :-)

Geomol - hah, not rounded under new beta ...

the first example you posted is the same as with View 1.3.2 - first 
non rounded, second one with rounded corners ....

I believe, Canvas RPaint is good to test these things.

still exists?

Of course, same link!

so except fonts, we now have linux and os-x Views compatible already?

well, rebcode would probably help, but imo we are not going to see 
it being back, untill R3 is here. The doc regarding Rebol security 
model was promissed, but not delivered. Not sure Rebcode is going 
to be backported to R2 ...

You can find link to Canvas RPaint under Checklists/Links (the checkmark 
icon up next to the calender here in AltME.

Pekr, yes Canvas RPaint works at least under OSX (and I think Linux 
too) except fonts and some bugs (mostly with DRAW dialect).

Also problem with events. For ex. mouse scroll-button doesn't work 
under OSX.

Geomol can you give the link to canvas RPaint... I have a very interesting 
proposition for you.  but I need to look at RPaint before   :-)

hum I found a link to version 0.9.8 but on execution I get an error: 

** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value
** Where: repend
** Near: system/script/header/version

that's with v1.3.2 of REBOL.

using 2.7 I get a not enough memory error and can't even start it.

my bad... its in the way I ran the code... works not (was starting 
it from the console, obviously no script header version)

not=now

hahahaha I just saw the "workbench" menu option LOL

there's screen dragging too :-)

in full screen mode you mean?

yes, or at least there was the last time I checked

hum can seem to get that to work...
