World: r3wp

I am still arguing for US date inputs as an option ... sure we can 
fake it, but it would be nice to have

We don't have to fake it, we can make addon functions to handle this. 
That's what community libraries are for.

eh??

This is Rebol2 we are talking abut

And I would like to see a moveable window for dates

A 50 year window is not just good enough

not just = just not

correcting the agg bugs in r2 ? i would like antialiasing better 
fonts more readable less bug around the handling of font fixed etc... 
but as it just conserns my particalr and singular needs and as noone 
likes me i think i can forget it .... a bugfix to agg matrix  would 
be  nice too .. I know i'm such an egoistic being etc ...

Hey Shadwolf, you're still in my good books!

Especially if you can turn area-tc into a generalised rich text area

give me glyph size to pixel size or an automated internal way to 
composite text on a line having different size and bang ritch text 
area will be possible ...

with area-tc we cheated that part forcing usign unsigned char ( i 
like by the way not having to composite lines of text letters by 
letters

unsigne char = font-fixed

I do the same in glass for the text field.

(unfortunately)

Quick Tour of Useful 2.7.8 Features - http://www.rebol.com/article/0505.html

super merci thank you ;-)

Yes, have mercy on us all !

speed.r kind of becoming natural part of R2 and R3 - http://www.rebol.com/article/0506.html

On Mac 2.7.8.2.5:

>> ls
** Script Error: path has no value
** Where: ls
** Near: switch type?/word :path [
    unset! [] 
    file! [change-dir path] 
    string! [change-dir to-rebol-file path] 
    w...

>> source speed?
test
test
... (fills console)
test
test
<code>

the source is correct.. there is just a big string wirh many "test" 
lines which is used in test :)

Ashley, that looks like the R3 source of LS, not the R2/Forward source. 
For that matter, the R2 source of LS on Windows doesn't look like 
it has changed either, and looks like the old R2 source. I'll look 
into it.

I'll also look into fixing the SPEED? bug.

Just remembered: The reason R3's LS wasn't backported to R2 was because 
its behavior wasn't settled yet. However, since there have been no 
changes in it for more than a year, and it's just a console-level 
formatting function, there should be no reason not to include it. 
In the meanwhile the R2/Forward version works fine.

it seems the AGG text bug was not pushed to the 2.7.8  release...

I meant, the fix was not released.

Does 2.7.8 support get-words with paths? eg :obj/get-my-data

>> o: context [test: 3]
>> a: o
>> :a/test
== 3

I think Peter might be asking about this sort of usage case:
     o: context [test: 3]
     a: 'o
     b: 'test

    o/:b   ;; this works
    == 3 
    :a/:b  ;; this fails
    ** Script Error: Cannot use path on word! value
    ** Near: :a/:b

    get in get a b   ;; this works, but it is hardly elegant
    == 3

I thought :a/b is a get-path! as a whole?

Here's my issue though I'm still running 2.7.5

>> f: func[][1]                
 
>> o: make object! [my-func: :f
]
>> b: reduce ['my-func :f]     
 
== [my-func func [][1]]

>> :o/my-func
== 1

>> :b/my-func
== 1


As you can see the value is being evaluated when using a "get-path!". 
Rebol3 simply presented the unevaluated value which is what I had 
expected.

Then yjou did not notice, that in R3, it is a different datatype.

(no get-word in the value)

No I didn't so let me rephrase my question. Is the  get-path! type 
supported in 2.7.8?

no, the datatype does not exist in R2

Thanks.

am I the only one who notices that cut and paste is completely broken 
on Rebol2 new releases?

Which platform?

Windows 7

I can paste into here, and everywhere except Rebol2 2.7.8

Works for me on XP (normally I would have 7 but that computer needs 
rebuilding). Right-click menu, ^V and read clipboard:// .

Works for me on REBOL/View 2.7.8.3.1 1-Jan-2011

on Win7 32b

am I the only one who notices that cut and paste is completely broken 
on Rebol2 new releases?
 - most probably yes, it works for me - Windows 7 64-bit

works for me as well.

Well, windows cut and paste services are working for me with other 
apps ( except chrome which often won't allow pasting from chrome 
into other apps ) so I guess I have some weird software that is stopping 
this working.  Often it goes away when I reboot ...

could it be malware?

that only affects Rebol ?

Graham, I sometimes see the copy  problem happening. I'm not sure 
why it happens and I am usually running rebol. Mostly I notice it 
with Ultraedit and Altme though I think they become the victims of 
the circumstance. I'll notate it more closely when it happens the 
next time. BTW, paste always seems to work but it will of course 
paste the last thing it could copy.

Graham, also check to see that a right mouse/copy works. I've seen 
cases where the Ctl-C stops working but right mouse does (?)
