Sorry, I just noted where it point, I thought a broken link since 
page remained still.

Just donated 50 EUR to Red, so that Gregg might match the donation. 
Hopefully you don't mind using this channel, it has low noise ratio 
and might inspire others to follow :-)

I have a very early sl4a protocol at https://github.com/gchiu/Rebol3/blob/master/protocols/prot-sl4a.r3


Needs altjson loaded first.  Not sure why I have to do the wait in 
the write actor.  Steve?

Oops I meant Steeve

Cool - so many new things to try.

This one's getting moved to the top of the list.

Nice job, GrahamC!

Announcing update to

http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=ladislav-include.r

Changes:

* INCLUDE/only update
** to help Cyphre use it for encapping purposes

** returns the REBOL header spec part in the result block if available

I've updated my Scite repository to the latest Scite/Scintilla version 
with enabled REBOL-RED lexer https://github.com/Oldes/Scite

The Red console-pro supports OS X now:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common/dir?ci=tip&name=examples

Thanks to Oldes for testing.

I've added a Red interpreter to the Try REBOL site:

http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl


Also reorganised many outdated REBOL links. The Red functionality 
is also available on StackOverflow through Graham's bot.

In case you did not find it in the other group:

New release of Red is here! 0.3.2: REPL release on http://www.red-lang.org/

Some people have wanted to do timing with Red. That was already possible 
with wall clock time, but I've added a new function get-process-seconds 
to both Red and Red/System to get the CPU time used by the process. 
Be aware that on Windows, this still uses wall clock time:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-C-library/dir?ci=tip

I've included examples in the Red Fibonacci examples.

The resolution is only one second, because there is no floating point 
at the Red level yet

I have written a primer on how to wriite a network scheme in Rebol 
3 .. http://www.r3gui.com/Writing_a_Network_Scheme.html

Let me know if you spot any errors so that I may correct them

This is great Graham - will read it in detail.

Nice layout, btw.

I accepted the first batch of pull requests to "community r3" at 
https://github.com/rebolsource/r3.The purpose of the fork is to 
accept new requests when there is a consensus they shall be accepted 
to inform Carl that such a consensus exists.

To support the OpenCV binding, I've split the C library binding for 
Red into an ANSI standard base and a BSD extensions part:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-C-library/dir?ci=tip


Instead of %C-library/C-library.red and %C-library/C-library.reds 
you should now #include %C-library/ANSI.red and %C-library/ANSI.reds.


%C-library/BSD.reds includes %C-library/ANSI.reds automatically and 
provides new functions NaN?, finite?, infinite? and infinity-sign-of. 
It can only be used on platforms that have them.

Kaj: I forwarded your above message to Francois, the author of the 
OpenCV binding.

Thanks!

Because the Red compiler doesn't support preprocessor conditionals, 
I have split console-pro into red, red-core and red-base, to be able 
to supply different functionality per platform:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common/dir?ci=tip&name=examples

They each include different extra bindings:
red-base: ANSI C library, cURL
red-core: red-base + SQLite
red: red-core + GTK+


I've updated the test binaries. Different versions of the red console 
are supplied for different platforms:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip


I rewrote the multi-line parsing in the console to be more accurate 
and straightforward.

In the new red consoles, I implemented ABOUT and LICENSE.

The ReadLine library is available for Android, but hard to install, 
so I made an attempt to build a red console for Android that doesn't 
use it. I have no idea if it works, so I would really like someone 
to test it:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/doc/trunk/Android/Red/red-core


There may also be issues with the paths to the cURL and SQLite libraries. 
They should be included in Android, but if the paths are different, 
I would like to know that, too. Remember Doc's blog about how to 
start Red executables on Android:

http://www.red-lang.org/2011/12/arm-support-released.html

Now that */Red/GTK-browser in the test executables has been updated 
for the Red 0.3.2 release (and the features and fixes since then), 
I have updated our Redsite to match:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/index.red


All listed Redpages and apps work now, and several details have been 
smoothened out.

I updated the Try REBOL site to the latest red-core:

http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl


I've moved the About button behind the Red button, as this function 
is now executed in Red by default.


Also fixed several bugs in the site. Thanks to Graham for reporting.

An interesting thing to try is to enter "stats" and then press the 
Compare button. It will report memory usage for each language.

Announcing INCLUDE update, changelog:

/LINK now uses MOLD/FLAT on Henrik's and Robert's request

Tomorrow, Wednesday 10, our Internet connection will be down for 
scheduled network maintenance. During most of the European daytime, 
our Red and REBOL web sites will be down. This includes Try REBOL 
and our source code repositories. Our static web sites will be partly 
served by CloudFlare.

Pushed the first take of the modular RebolBot into it's own repo.
https://github.com/gchiu/rebolbot

Online Red compiler: http://bircomteknoloji.com:8181/

Runs on Cheyenne on Windows, compiles using rebol.exe (v2.7.6) as 
CGI.

We're online again, but the network company managed to unfix our 
fixed IP address - again. Our domains may well remain unreachable 
for several more days

If you need access to our source repositories or Try REBOL, you can 
temporarily define our hosts locally on your system to our current 
IP address. For example in the /etc/hosts file on Unixy systems:

188.142.58.98 red.esperconsultancy.nl
188.142.58.98 rebol.esperconsultancy.nl
188.142.58.98 tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl

I've temporarily rerouted our most important domains to our current 
IP address, so they work again, but they will break again when our 
network provider changes the address back.


Try REBOL works again, but it being half down allowed Graham and 
Andreas to find a bug in R3's HTTP handler. :-)

Here is first *alpha* of Rebol3 with graphics on Android: http://development.saphirion.com/experimental/r3-droid-view.apk

Current features:
- AGG based compositor
- Basic windowing support
- Working DRAW dialect
- Very basic input event handling (DOWN, UP, MOVE, CLOSE events)

- "Menu" button now sends "escape" to the interpreter so loops etc. 
can be easily interrupted

- "Back" button closes opened windows, if no window is open it quits 
interpreter

- Embedded simple "demo game", just type DEMO in the console and 
have fun


Note this release is very early alpha so expect unstable situations 
or even crashes. Feel free to report bugs or any other feedback.


This gets us one step closer to be able to create Android apps with 
Rebol. Simple, small, fast. :-)

great

R2. Feel free to spread the word.

Feedback regarding typos etc. welcome (the vimeo videos are not working 
at the moment).

Awesome work on R3 Android with graphics!!!

Hello, I started a wiki about only the Rebol 3 source: https://github.com/angerangel/r3bazaar/wiki/Source-explained
, may you help me? ;-)

Carl has mentioned that he is willing to discuss handing over control 
of the Rebol websites, likely to a Rebol community working group. 
 AdrianS (I believe) requested this, and I passed it on to Carl. 
 Just FYI.

I implemented UTF-8 output support for Red. I ended up writing optimised 
versions based more on the Red print backend. I integrated them in 
my I/O routines and made heavy performance optimisations. Thanks 
to Peter for leading the way. There are the following Red/System 
encoders embedded in %common.red:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common/dir?ci=tip


to-UTF8: encodes a Red string into UTF-8 Red/System c-string! format.

to-local-file: encodes a Red string into Latin-1 Red/System c-string! 
format on Windows, and into UTF-8 on other systems. This yields a 
string suitable for the local file name APIs. Latin-1 can be output 
as long as it was input into Red via UTF-8. Non-Latin-1 code points 
cannot be encoded in Latin-1 and yield a NULL for the entire result.


These encoders make use of the Latin1-to-UTF8, UCS2-to-UTF8 and UCS4-to-UTF8 
encoding functions. An example of their use in the Red READ and WRITE 
functions is in %input-output.red

I used the new encoding functions in all my Red bindings: those for 
the C library, input/output via files and cURL, 0MQ, SQLite and GTK+. 
In as many places as possible, data marshalled to the external libraries 
now supports UTF-8. File names on Windows support Latin-1. Files 
and URLs are always read and written as UTF-8, including on Windows. 
Red does not support loading Latin-1 strings.

I've updated the binary downloads. The red console interpreters and 
all the Red examples include the above encoding support now, and 
all the latest Red features:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip


For example, the Red/GTK-text-editor now supports writing UTF-8 files 
with UTF-8 or Latin-1 names.


I've added an MSDOS\Red\red-core.exe for Windows 2000, because the 
GTK+ libraries in red.exe require Windows XP+.

I've also improved the multi-line parsing in the consoles again. 
They now recognise literal strings in double quotes, literal characters 
and comments.
