It discusses 0MQ and shows SDL and GTK, but it's a primitive Hello 
World example when the GTK binding was only a week old, and callbacks 
in Red weren't fixed yet

Nice presentation! :)

BTW, do you plan to make a small documentation on the GTK+ binding 
API and/or a dedicated web page?

Thanks. I'm limiting the documentation to the examples for now. I 
have to choose between writing documentation or more bindings, and 
I need the bindings

Part 8 has a discussion of the PeterPaint SDL example on Syllable 
Desktop, but the video is very bad during the demo:

Implemented TEXT and AREA styles, based on the GTK text view widget

If someone following Red progress would have time to write a small 
doc on the GTK+ binding API, I think that would really help.

I can't implement things such as GTK sliders and progress bars, because 
they use floats

That's a pity, because Jaromil requested slider and file selector 
widgets from me. When he has those, he can start using Red for a 
GUI for his Tomb security tool

Implemented INFO style, as a non-editable GTK line entry widget

I understand the frustration...If it could be added in 2-3 days, 
I would add it now, but a complete support would require much more 
time. I will try next week to make a more accurate evaluation of 
all the additions and changes required in Red/System compiler for 
supporting float numbers.

Cool

Implemented SECRET style, for hiding entering passwords and such

Both single and double precision floats will be necessary to interface 
with other subsystems

And that can't be done by linking to a math library?

How would you communicate values?

Implemented activate action for FIELD and SECRET styles, so that 
they can respond to pressing the enter key

According to Twitter message, Doc got simple program compiling and 
running on Linux ARM. Nice and congrats :-)

Is there any significance to the code compiled?

It's the minimum program

And the meaning of life, of course

Ah... I thought he was making a statement :)

Don't fear

Petr: thanks, but it was mostly Andreas' work so far.

Anyone have experience using Vincent Ecuyer's "rewbzip.r" from the 
script library? 

I'm having trouble unzipping a very large db file (150+ megs). It 
works for smaller zips...anyone know if there is a limit on file 
size?

rebzop.r

wrong group

The note in the manual in 6.3.3 still speaks about callback instead 
of cdecl

Issue fixed in the specification document.

Implemented all the needed GTK constructs and a convenience function 
for actually extracting the text content from an AREA widget

Added dynamic scroll bars to the AREA widget and normalised its appearance 
like other input widgets

It's quite usable now, but it's challenging to make it easy to program 
in the GTK environment

The obvious defaults and accessors that you would expect often aren't 
there

Great, practical progress Kaj!

Good progress Kaj.

thank you very much kaj and dockimbel ;-)

Thanks. I've upgraded the Fossil server for the binding repositories 
to 1.20

Nice new features are side-by-side diffs and support for symbolic 
links

which is the address of the GTK repository

?

thanks !

Looks like Nenad will get 39 bits ARM immediate values :-)

Getting 32-bit literals pools to be generated reliably would already 
be an achievement ;-)

For ARM 64-bit, I just hope we won't have to continue to use literals 
pools...

Most likely not. A64 (the ARM 64-bit instruction set) will have 32-bit 
fixed length instructions as well.
