2.7.7 release

Call
dockimbel:

About CALL console window issue, the CreateProcess( ) win32 call 
has flags to hide the window. There just need to be set.

In the STARTUPINFO used by CreateProcess( ), just set in dwFlags, 
the STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW flag and set wShowWindow to SW_HIDE.

maybe add a new refinement and let the users decide when they want 
to see the console window ?
or maybe just /show

Paul:
Run is not enabled

Graham

Is anyone concerned that shell windows opened in Encap do not contain 
the correct window title?
Rambo #3660 ( reported march 2005 )

For me, the big question is what kind of release we will be doing:

- 2.7.7: Patching glaring bugs in a few natives, VID fixes, and continuing 
the backports and mezzanine fixes.

- 2.8.0: Backporting some of the R3 native changes (function, not 
infrastructre), and the above.

I think that the decision a long time ago was to focus on R3 as a 
priority, and just patch up R2 as necessary.

At the very least, I would want a 2.7.7 to have a version that fixes 
post-2.7.6 mezzanine bugs, and 2.7 series regressions vs. 2.6.3.

We also need to implement BrianH's new window resize scheme.

Ashley,Anton, Brian, etc ... VID fixes

Graham
Fixes to prot-http to support put etc.

SQL_FLOAT and SQL_REAL are converted the same way, just with different 
sizes. And yet SQL_REAL works and SQL_FLOAT doesn't, at least with 
SQL Native Client (an ODBC 3.5 driver). Perhaps that difference can 
point you in the right direction.

This produces a 16 byte leak when started. And when I move the window 
and click in it, I get a lot of 64 byte leaks.

Will: in 2.7.7.4.2: 
>> timer [call/wait "echo 1"]

This is from a change I made in the timeout period of the io pipe 
handler.

However, I am unsure of the general impact it may have.  It causes 
the io pipes to be polled 10x faster than before... which may not 
be a good thing.

Multitouch support in View ...

:-)

Adding SSL to Vid is among the things I'd like to see. Does not need 
to be fast (C-code), but  nowdays many sites don't allow email/ftp:s 
without some kind of TLS or similar.. (Not my specialty, please don't 
ask me to implement) :)

SSL would allow google mail use...I believe???

I think someone has google mail working with rebol command

It is me

And hotmail .. which is also ssl

ofcourse

Opening up use of google mail would be big for me..

don't you have the sdk??

yes

Not SDK command

Question for the group: where is the best "home" for discussion of 
R2 release?

R2-Beta world is quite "old" (no messages for a long time). But, 
we could continue with it.

As far as I know ... a 2.7.7 release was planned there.

I think that R2 is still many things. So my vote goes to go to R2-beta.

ditto

We can't cover everything in this one thread here. And I think that 
ppl interested in further R2 development have no problem to log into 
R2-beta. It is also imo good to keep it isolated that way ...

Brian, yes we use Oracle and Sybase specifically in our enterprise.

Yes R2-Beta because it already has many of the accounts already setup. 
 For a 1 week release and feedback that will be best approach.

I was just at the R2-Beta world and it doesn't appear any discussion 
has moved there yet.

I have an old View 1.3.2 here on Ubuntu where echo takes a bit over 
100 ms, so the bigger delay may be a recent regression

The 2.7 test release has been built. This is the base build for the 
next release. It contains SSL, ODBC, DES, etc., and no-license key 
is required.


In addition, I've added an install checkbox to the Prefs (User panel) 
and an Uninstall to the Help panel. These are just shortcuts to existing 
features.

The download is www.rebol.com/downloads/view277-test1.exe


Note that it's version # is 2.7.6, but it has a new system/build 
date. Don't mix it up with prior versions, as it's not at all tested.

Please coordinate via BrianH if you have any feedback or comments 
on this release.

Also... not going to spend time yet on non-Win32 until we know if 
this is close.

Testing...

So far, so good.

Oh, and I almost forgot: This is a TEST. Use entirely at your own 
risk. Do not distribute. Do not use to operate nuclear reactors, 
missle defense systems, aircraft, heart-lung machines, etc. etc.

odbc works so far.

for hotmail, and gmail ...  download prot-spop.r from http://compkarori.no-ip.biz:8090/REBOL_stuff/REBOL_2/Secure_POP_and_SMTP

mbox: open compose [ scheme: 'spop host: "pop.gmail.com" user: [yournamegoeshere-:-gmail-:-com] 
pass: "password" ]

and then 

pick mbox 1

gives you your first email

sorry .. I cut and pasted that .. the 'compose is not needed

Awsome Graham...thank you for that (and Carl).

How long before SSL gets into enface? (support for  SDK)

It's already in Sdk/command ...

Carl hasn't mentioned anything about freeing Rebol command which 
still sells

I did not know I would have the need when I bought SDK so I did not 
get SDK/Command

rebol command sdk

you can always upgrade ...

FOr the difference? $100

I guesss that would be worth it.

http://www.rebol.com/upgrade.html$199

I suggest asking Carl if he has any intentions of releasing free 
sdks first :)

Seeing how he has released a free rebol command which currently lists 
for $349.

Graham, Your scheme is for pop only..have you developed a send mail 
scheme?

sort of ...

but why is it needed for?
