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

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
Kaj

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

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

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.

Implemented a dialect shortcut in most layout styles by adding a 
bare string element, to make the label directive optional

The end of Daylight Savings Time gave me an hour extra today, so 
I wrote a web browser:
http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/screenshots/LazySundayAfternoon-Browser.png
It does Flash and everything
Here's the code:
#include %GTK-WebKit.reds

home: "http://www.red-lang.org/"

address: function [
	[cdecl]
	widget				[gtk-entry!]
	data				[gtk-scrolled-window!]
][
	web-browse  web-get-view data  gtk-get-entry-text widget
]

browser: browse home

gtk-view window [
	gtk-position-center
	"Lazy Sunday Afternoon Browser"
	vbox [
		field [home  :address browser] gtk-tight
		browser gtk-full
	]
]
The executable is 21 KB

So now we can run REBOL code in Topaz executed inside a Red/System 
driven web browser. ;-)

Kaj, this may be a dumb question but what OS are you using?

Thanks. I was wondering if you were using Syllable.
Kaj

Unfortunately, not yet, but in the next step I hope to integrate 
this in Syllable Server

Wow, this is the sort of stuff to showcase Red with, "A browser in 
only 21Kb, a ... in only ...". Fantastic progress guys.

Thanks. It's remarkable how big the gap is between the low and high 
hanging fruit. I've spent ten years on Syllable and REBOL, and three 
hours on this browser so far, including the WebKitGTK+ binding

Reviewed some Python, Ruby and Haskell bindings for GTK, and they 
all look like my Goodbye Cruel World example in various incarnations, 
instead of my Hello World example :-)
GTK's, and other IDEs', idea has always been that Glade, and now 
a newer interface builder, makes it easier, but combining a generated 
XML interface definition manually with some code language doesn't 
compare to Red/System
