World: r3wp

So, were are we at?

Josh has built new test version.

Is this project dependent on R3?

No.

so mozilla? does it mean that it will be as easy to install under 
mozilla/firefox as under IE?

The new version is for 1.3.2

Hi everyone! Looking forward to working together on the new plugin.

Firefox has 8% of the browser market now,

Yes, 1.3.2.

We've actually got a 90-95% working version of 1.3.2 plugin for Mozilla.

Josh will take the questions from here.

Thanks Josh for joining us.

Where is test version please?

(I just built it this week)

Is this for internal or external testing?

Ah, let me get back to you...we need to get a download location set 
up.

But I"m not sure we're ready to release this one yet...

Gotta take a look at it a little more, it's only a few days old :)

Release often, fix often.

It's not as though any applications depend upon the plugin.

I am ok with a test release if Josh is.

Josh, is there some way to automate the build process, and do the 
certificates or whatever, so when you leave again, a new version 
can still be easily built?

He says it seems pretty stable.

LOL LOL!

sounds good. i'll upload the current version of mozilla plugin, but 
please don't use on any production system! :)

I'm still LOL....

sure, we'd give you the certificates

It wasn't meant as a joke.

then you can make viruses signed by RT!

;-) that's why Carl's laughing

Josh is writing details notes about the build process.

But, the idea of automating it is very cool too.

is there a new IE plugin as well?

I think the current plugin lacks AGG?

Yes, new one has it.

Yes, but as far as I know, the plugin C source is locked down to 
RT. maybe an automated build process that doesn't expose the source 
would work.

the new IE plugin is very stable, beta-quality.

it's just a rebuild against the new viewdll (1.3.2).

Ok.  Good.

and is this restriction to running one plugin only per page stil 
present?

yes, that is a limitation of REBOL itself....according to Carl, we're 
looking into removing that limitation for REBOL 3.0

Ahh...

it has to do with multithreading issues

Needs threading.

Each plugin instance launches a new thread so viewdll has to be able 
to handle that

are there any security issues? infinite popups or anything left that 
might bring it out of control?

i don't know, have you found any? :)

those exist already

you've had 2 years ;-)

Infinite popups are blocked ..I think there's a limit.
