I fixed the bug that was breaking cURL networking on Windows:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-cURL/dir?ci=tip


I've updated the binaries. This fixes READ in common/input-output, 
console-pro, GTK-text-editor, GTK-browser and RedSystem/read-web-page:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip&name=MSDOS


The binaries for all platforms include the latest Red enhancements, 
particularly support in the interpreter for function creation at 
runtime and execution of those functions that are not compiled and 
thus only have source available. This enhances console-pro, GTK-IDE 
and GTK-browser:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip

I fixed #1969 (pull request submitted), which is one of the R3 bugs 
most plaguing R3GUI.

thx, Ladislav!

I missed making a donation to Red last month, so I will make up for 
it by doing a matching challenge this month. I will match donations 
to Red, up to USD$200, for donations made between now and the end 
of the month.

I'm fairly sure I fixed the bug that was breaking audio playback 
with SDL on Windows with DirectSound, but I haven't been able to 
test it yet:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-SDL/dir?ci=tip&name=examples


I've updated the binaries. If anyone could test it, that would be 
nice:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip&name=MSDOS/RedSystem

The audio example is now forced to open a small borderless window 
on Windows. It shouldn't be visible, but there will be an icon on 
the task bar now, and it will probably appear in the window switcher

Then again, maybe not with the MSDOS version, that is compiled to 
not be a GUI program

I've updated the Red test binaries with the latest Red features, 
including the new support for the file! type:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip


As a reminder, here are instructions for downloading them in one 
go:


http://web.syllable.org/news/2012-11-18-20-47-Red-high-level-programming-language-first-alpha.html


All programs for Syllable, Linux and Windows are supposed to work 
now. If you want to help improve the quality of the upcoming Red 
release, please test them and report bugs you find.

I updated our Redsite for the latest Red features, specifically runtime 
function creation in the interpreter (which executes the Redpages):

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/index.red

I added a simple IDE example to the list of apps:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/examples/IDE.red


It's a cross between the standalone GTK-IDE example and Try REBOL; 
basically Try Red written in Red itself. There are two main areas: 
one for editing your code and one for showing the result. Since it 
runs on your computer, unlike Try REBOL, it keeps state between execution 
of code snippets.


To browse the site and the apps you need the latest binary version 
of the GTK-browser. See above.

Thanks to a build machine provided by HostileFork, OSX PPC ("2.4") 
builds of R3 (from mainline Git) are now available for your convenience:

http://www.rebolsource.net/

(Look for "OSX PPC" under the "experimental builds" section.)

On that page there is a broken link: the small "2" note.

Sorry, I just noted where it point, I thought a broken link since 
page remained still.

Just donated 50 EUR to Red, so that Gregg might match the donation. 
Hopefully you don't mind using this channel, it has low noise ratio 
and might inspire others to follow :-)

I have a very early sl4a protocol at https://github.com/gchiu/Rebol3/blob/master/protocols/prot-sl4a.r3


Needs altjson loaded first.  Not sure why I have to do the wait in 
the write actor.  Steve?

Oops I meant Steeve

Cool - so many new things to try.

This one's getting moved to the top of the list.

Nice job, GrahamC!

Announcing update to

http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=ladislav-include.r

Changes:

* INCLUDE/only update
** to help Cyphre use it for encapping purposes

** returns the REBOL header spec part in the result block if available

I've updated my Scite repository to the latest Scite/Scintilla version 
with enabled REBOL-RED lexer https://github.com/Oldes/Scite

The Red console-pro supports OS X now:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common/dir?ci=tip&name=examples

Thanks to Oldes for testing.

I've added a Red interpreter to the Try REBOL site:

http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl


Also reorganised many outdated REBOL links. The Red functionality 
is also available on StackOverflow through Graham's bot.

In case you did not find it in the other group:

New release of Red is here! 0.3.2: REPL release on http://www.red-lang.org/

Some people have wanted to do timing with Red. That was already possible 
with wall clock time, but I've added a new function get-process-seconds 
to both Red and Red/System to get the CPU time used by the process. 
Be aware that on Windows, this still uses wall clock time:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-C-library/dir?ci=tip

I've included examples in the Red Fibonacci examples.

The resolution is only one second, because there is no floating point 
at the Red level yet

I have written a primer on how to wriite a network scheme in Rebol 
3 .. http://www.r3gui.com/Writing_a_Network_Scheme.html

Let me know if you spot any errors so that I may correct them

This is great Graham - will read it in detail.

Nice layout, btw.

I accepted the first batch of pull requests to "community r3" at 
https://github.com/rebolsource/r3.The purpose of the fork is to 
accept new requests when there is a consensus they shall be accepted 
to inform Carl that such a consensus exists.

To support the OpenCV binding, I've split the C library binding for 
Red into an ANSI standard base and a BSD extensions part:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-C-library/dir?ci=tip


Instead of %C-library/C-library.red and %C-library/C-library.reds 
you should now #include %C-library/ANSI.red and %C-library/ANSI.reds.


%C-library/BSD.reds includes %C-library/ANSI.reds automatically and 
provides new functions NaN?, finite?, infinite? and infinity-sign-of. 
It can only be used on platforms that have them.

Kaj: I forwarded your above message to Francois, the author of the 
OpenCV binding.

Thanks!

Because the Red compiler doesn't support preprocessor conditionals, 
I have split console-pro into red, red-core and red-base, to be able 
to supply different functionality per platform:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common/dir?ci=tip&name=examples

They each include different extra bindings:
red-base: ANSI C library, cURL
red-core: red-base + SQLite
red: red-core + GTK+


I've updated the test binaries. Different versions of the red console 
are supplied for different platforms:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip


I rewrote the multi-line parsing in the console to be more accurate 
and straightforward.

In the new red consoles, I implemented ABOUT and LICENSE.

The ReadLine library is available for Android, but hard to install, 
so I made an attempt to build a red console for Android that doesn't 
use it. I have no idea if it works, so I would really like someone 
to test it:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/doc/trunk/Android/Red/red-core


There may also be issues with the paths to the cURL and SQLite libraries. 
They should be included in Android, but if the paths are different, 
I would like to know that, too. Remember Doc's blog about how to 
start Red executables on Android:

http://www.red-lang.org/2011/12/arm-support-released.html

Now that */Red/GTK-browser in the test executables has been updated 
for the Red 0.3.2 release (and the features and fixes since then), 
I have updated our Redsite to match:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/index.red


All listed Redpages and apps work now, and several details have been 
smoothened out.

I updated the Try REBOL site to the latest red-core:

http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl


I've moved the About button behind the Red button, as this function 
is now executed in Red by default.


Also fixed several bugs in the site. Thanks to Graham for reporting.

An interesting thing to try is to enter "stats" and then press the 
Compare button. It will report memory usage for each language.

Announcing INCLUDE update, changelog:

/LINK now uses MOLD/FLAT on Henrik's and Robert's request

Tomorrow, Wednesday 10, our Internet connection will be down for 
scheduled network maintenance. During most of the European daytime, 
our Red and REBOL web sites will be down. This includes Try REBOL 
and our source code repositories. Our static web sites will be partly 
served by CloudFlare.

Pushed the first take of the modular RebolBot into it's own repo.
https://github.com/gchiu/rebolbot

Online Red compiler: http://bircomteknoloji.com:8181/

Runs on Cheyenne on Windows, compiles using rebol.exe (v2.7.6) as 
CGI.

We're online again, but the network company managed to unfix our 
fixed IP address - again. Our domains may well remain unreachable 
for several more days

If you need access to our source repositories or Try REBOL, you can 
temporarily define our hosts locally on your system to our current 
IP address. For example in the /etc/hosts file on Unixy systems:

188.142.58.98 red.esperconsultancy.nl
188.142.58.98 rebol.esperconsultancy.nl
188.142.58.98 tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl

I've temporarily rerouted our most important domains to our current 
IP address, so they work again, but they will break again when our 
network provider changes the address back.


Try REBOL works again, but it being half down allowed Graham and 
Andreas to find a bug in R3's HTTP handler. :-)

Here is first *alpha* of Rebol3 with graphics on Android: http://development.saphirion.com/experimental/r3-droid-view.apk

Current features:
- AGG based compositor
- Basic windowing support
- Working DRAW dialect
- Very basic input event handling (DOWN, UP, MOVE, CLOSE events)

- "Menu" button now sends "escape" to the interpreter so loops etc. 
can be easily interrupted

- "Back" button closes opened windows, if no window is open it quits 
interpreter

- Embedded simple "demo game", just type DEMO in the console and 
have fun


Note this release is very early alpha so expect unstable situations 
or even crashes. Feel free to report bugs or any other feedback.


This gets us one step closer to be able to create Android apps with 
Rebol. Simple, small, fast. :-)

great
