Hello all,
the REBOL/SDK 2.7.5 for Mac OS X has been released.
http://www.rebol.net/builds/index.html
http://www.rebol.net/builds/sdk/sdk-2705024.tar.gz
The more people can test it, the sooner it will be out of beta. :)
Regards,
Gabriele.

Gabriele
I see new builds for Linux as well. Are they with or without AGG font support?

How should we submit feedback?
Apologies, been out of the REBOL loop for a while so I'm a little out
of touch - but would like to help test.
What areas if any specifically need review?
RebView fired up fine - feedback for it follows.
The following demos worked well so far - Gel, Particles, Easy VID
All the games worked well.
Some interaction in RebGUI is missing or questionable -
1. In Field, Area - I can't get Ctrl-S for spell check to fire with
wither Ctrl-S or Apple-S.
2. In Field, Field - Are Ctrl-Z and Esc supposed to restore the
whole state of the field? I get single character by character
restore on Ctrl-Z and whole field on Esc.
3. In List, Edit-List - Are the drop-list and edit-list supposed to
be navigable by the keyboard or only the mouse? I can't apply focus
to them and then use the keyboard to select but that may be how they
are designed.
4. In List, Table - How are you supposed to select multiple rows -
can't get it to do that assuming that is what the single/multi button
is about? Same issue in List, Text-List can't multi-select.
5. In Requestors, Request-file and request-dir fill-ins - I noticed
that Apple+left/right arrow seem to move word by word rather than
beginning and end. Not sure if this is intentional or not.
It looks really good so far!
Thanks, Rod.

This is a little bit misleading of the tour. Ashley said you have to
download a dictionary separately to get that to work, if I remember
correctly.

So, does this mean those with the SDK can now create encaped apps for the Mac as well?
According to the REBOL site, you currently get 'Three REBOL encapsulators' with the SDK,
which I assume means for Windows, Linux, and, umm, OpenBSD? Or is the third one Solaris?
So I'm assuming the Mac version will be the fourth.
Can anyone confirm whether that's right or not (and that you'll now get a Mac encapsulator
if you buy the SDK)?

I think what is meant is different runtime environments for the same
OS: enface, enpro and enbase.
Speaking of which: What's the story on cross compilation? I would
like to get rid of Windows here, but still be able to build Windows
binaries.

I haven't heard of any plans for that from RT. Gabriele did it for the
Detective, farming out build requests to machines on the network that
ran the target OS and returned a ready-to-run installer for that
platform.
It shouldn't be too hard to set that up as a service, though you need
trusted machines and either a fee structure, or a way to check license
keys submitted with an encap request.

hi Henrik,
or just run a VM on your machine specifically for encapping. one of the
core reasons VMs exist for many. (cross-platform compilation/testing).

I'm doing it myself as a service now, for on-demand compilation of
Windows executables. It would be nice, not having to waste money on a
Windows license for that on a dedicated compile server. Oh, well. :-)

Which is esentially what I would want. I'd kinda assumed it was already possible! Hence
I was hoping the Mac SDK would've added one more to the list.
RT really need to tidy up the website so potential customers can get a reasonable idea
of what they'd actually be buying...

I don't know, I haven't tried. :) They should just match the 2.7.5
View release, so if it didn't work there, I don't think it's
working in this new build. I'd suggest you trying though. ;)
Regards,
Gabriele.
