I'll make some screenshots tomorrow

Nice ..

Response from Twitter: "Good job. This makes even butt-ugly Gtk look 
cool."

My thoughts exactly

It seems that float support is bothering more than one RED supporter 
here, so we will see what's Doc's decision towards the priorities, 
once Doc is back ...

I've got my WebKit browser to work on my graphical version of Syllable 
Server, so I'll start using it for real browsing tasks

I've moved the GLib binding in the GTK+ binding to a separate project, 
here:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-GLib

This is now needed by every GTK binding

For your information: A small code editor including lua scripting 
(GTK + scintilla bindings)
All sources included.
Low c footprint.
A good inspiration for further RED evolution.

AKA an aspiring RED code editor

with RED scripting

Looks interesting, Steeve. Be sure to post what you find out about 
Textadept in the Editors group.

It's nicely integrated with Lua. Doc has a similar plan for Red, 
and I'm also looking in that direction

I've published the map bindings here:

Hi, I am interested into building an maintaining documentation for 
those programming languages based on REBOL.
It would be nice to have a DOCBASE for them.
What I search is:
- Someone ABLE to SETUP the Linux and the Wiki Software
- Someone which would share with me the cost of hosting.
Do you like the idea ?
Write me at [giuseppe-:-chillemi-:-eu]

I want to help with that too, when time allows, but I think we need 
the authors of the languages to be part of the decision of how it's 
done. If they all want to do it different ways (and we want their 
input), that may be difficult.

Hosting should be very inexpensive, and I am willing to help with 
that.

Hope all of the authors see the advantage of having a common infrastructure 
for documentation.

There is advantage, but also cost. I know I don't want to add any 
more tools, formats, and logins than necessary to my workflow.

I think, it's a good initiative, but I can't judge, if it's a good 
idea, because I know too little about the different variants. How 
similar/different is Red, Topaz, Boron and World, and how are they 
compared to REBOL? Would the docs help a developer, or would they 
cause more confusion? It probably depends on the form of the docs 
too. Examples would help.


I plan to write a manual for World, something similar to "The C Programming 
Language" book. And that's not a dictionary, so there is good room 
for docs by others without overlap. And also docs, which are not 
just a dictionary, like extensive examples with explanations and 
probably other kinds.

See #Boron group please.

I am trying to import zlib and had some minor success with an example 
for adler32 function.  Next was compress and now stuck on how to 
align the compress function ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT compress OF((Bytef 
*dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen));  
 from http://www.zlib.net/manual.html#Utilityis ByteF * 
dest and Btyef * source pointers to bytes  defined was destination 
[pointer! [byte!]]     ?

AFAICT, yes.

Thanks Doc.   It is enlightening to see what can be done with Red 
import and DLLs.

Doc, any news around? :-)

36 failing math tests to fix before finishing the ARM port.

I will write a new blog entry once that done.

Red/System ARM port now passes 100% of 8537 unit tests!

cool :-)

I have some polishing to do before making it official.

wow... (about ARM) !! does this mean it can run natively in something 
like android?

Yes, there's some screenshots in recent tweets on http://twitter.com/red_lang

But it only runs in command-line mode for now, a Java bridge will 
be required to produce GUI apps on Android.

So, what will be next?

that is awesome, making bindings to api-s is rewarding by itself 
(because you get to see results/apps) to those that need it so now 
that core runs on it I am sure rest will follow.

how is this java bridge made then? is it like some sort of native 
binding or some totally different concept?

Congratulations Doc!

Next for mobile ports:: add shared lib generation support to Red/System 
and Java/ObjC bridges.

In the next days, I will review all the priorities and I will publish 
the requirements for floating point support in Red/System. I will 
probably go back to Red runtime implementation next week until new 
year.

Congratulations Nenad. I hope you're going to take a few days off 
after such an intense effort.


Great timing too! Just in time for the launch of the Rasberry Pi!!!

Thanks Peter. New year is usually a very productive time for me, 
so don't count on me to rest now. ;-)

Doc - thanks for adding Twitter feed directly to RED website :-)

All my test scripts are now working correctly on Linux/ARM, including 
Red's memory allocator.

Cool, I might dig-up my Beagle Board :-)

You'll certainly have some fun. :-)
