World: r3wp

Thank you Robert 8-)

Hi Robert, any MakeDocPro documentation ? Is it based on MakeDoc 
2 or 3 ? This confuses me.

I have an old one here, will be published soon... seems I need to 
search for the extensive version on my HDs and backups.

Shadwolf: {If I had better relation with Robert and RM-Asset I could 
have updated MDP-GUI the only browser of MakeDoc Pro documentation 
made  in rebol/vid 2. :)} - interesting, what exactly it is you announced, 
then?

If I had better relation with Robert and RM-Asset...

 - few lines of code instead of tens lines of comments can change 
 it in seconds.

Was there any host-kit change?

We released only R3GUI so far. We didn't make any significant changes 
to host-kit so no reason for new release at the moment.

So the text crash bug is still there :)

Congratulations Max on releasing !Glass.

Adrian:  GLASS is currently R2 only, but will be ported in a little 
while.


GLASS R3 will make extensive use of extensions inorder to make it 
as fast as possible, at all levels of the framework.  From Liquid 
right up to the styles themselves.

It will seamleslly integrate to my Custom Gob Renderer so the same 
GLASS style will be able to render in any renderer for which a compatible 
style was built.   


this means the same layout and interface for a button will be useable 
in a normal AGG render up to a 3D game representation of that button, 
with no user code change.  just a swap in the skin being used.

shadwolf, I'm confused .. you seemed to be working again on area-tc 
and now you're leaving again?  May be you need to take that Lithium 
:(

btw..... Thanks everyone for all the cheers, it feels good for some 
of my work to finally have a bit of instant gratification  ;-)


I also want to say thanks to everyone who's taking the time to test 
GLASS.

Go Max go!

I am now planning a weekly release cycle.  It will contain all the 
"in-progress" stuff, so will allow people to help in adding new stuff 
if they want.  


If anyone wishes to contribute new styles, new modules, new documentation 
and/or tutorials and  apps, I'll be very happy to include your stuff 
within the distro and properly attribute it.  the only constraint 
is that it has to be BSD and will obviously go through my prying 
eyes, in order to keep consistency with the whole package.

sorry.. it has to be MIT or BSD (I have a preference for MIT, but 
BSD is ok too).

Github it ?

And is it possible to get rid of the library manager so that it can 
be encapped?

it can be encapped with the library manager... come on do you think 
my tools woudn't be encapable, I ship appliations.

and no we cannot remove the library manager.

yes, I might github it, but I'm still a bit noob with git, so won't 
do this right now.

The cURL binding documentation looks very good Kaj, congratulations.

I can also confirm that the precompiled binary .so available for 
download works as-is with Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.7 on i686.

Thanks. By the way, thanks should also go to Tomas Bonte for the 
bounty, to Tomas and Oldes for testing, and to you, Andreas, and 
Brian Hawley for debugging

Can someone compile it for win32?

i can try :)

(-> cURL Binding)

great kaj! do you need some breath or do you like to bring some coooool 
concurrency to rebol -> http://www.zeromq.org/:-)))

I do want to continue with that, but I need to focus first for a 
while on SylCon next week and ReBorCon in a month

sure, gracias for curl kaj. very usefull component and already working 
;-)

ahhh...this example code is looking...well....(wait, I have to clean 
my uncontrolled salivation) ...very nice!  -> http://www.zeromq.org/intro:read-the-manual

please contact me for the bounty details as soon as you like to start.

OK

Good to hear about the R3 odbc update

That's curious. If I try to unpack    2.4 MB glass-r003.zip, I get 
a folder with just 1.3 MB and only two files in glass/libs. I tried 
with 7zip and the WinExplorer.

It's the only solution he found to bloat a Rebol program ;-)

My distro is OK ... using Total Commander and its internal zip tool 
to "unpack" (it treats archives as regular dirs)

Seriously : I get an error while unpacking from XP standard zip app.

The problem is on a file named "debug" in the libs folder. So unpacked 
folder is only 2 files length but there is 39 files in the archive.

strange... its ok with some tools and not in others (winrar also 
ok)... the debug dir is an empty dir.

I'll package the zip with another tool... tell me if that's better...

new zip file now online... same path:
http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/files/glass-r003.zip

or use RIP :)

what's RIP?

Carl's REBOL packer, it should be on http://www.rebol.org

hum will look into it, could be another idea.

rip seems to work quite well  :-)

its actually making smaller archives than zip in my initial tests!

RMA, panel doc :

The light gray text on white background that you use for code block 
is nearly unreadable. Please darken the text a bit !

And the constrast between black background and white box hurt my 
poor eyes too.
I wold prefer code block in dark gray bg and white texte !

DideC, which document are you reading? I'm having trouble finding 
the correct link.
