probably not, but why not outline the planned future? R3 is alpha, 
and it should be treated as such. R3 adds nice stuff - unicode, modules, 
control of boot sequence, devices, codecs, etc. Robert might face 
the questions of recent REBOL status anyway ....

I manually removed altme from my Ubuntu netbook today as 1.1.29 would 
neither connect nor uninstall  -  is it worth trying again with a 
more recent release, or should I just use this ole windoze box (with

you will find it in the RebGUI directory on xpeers

 ... got it the first time, just making sure I was looking at the 
 most current version. FYI, tooltips had me baffled for a long time 
 (they worked for you, consumed tons of CPU for me) until I realized 
 they were only a problem with the new tab-panel implementation ... 
 which now stores all tabs in a pane and uses the show? attribute 
 to work out which one is visible or not (the original stored hidden 
 tabs in a data block). The fix was simple, change the tooltip code 
 to ignore faces with show?: false.

strip tree widget from drop-tree

 ... the tree widget I'm working on is similar to text-list but with 
 leading triangles (indented by level) that toggle between sideways 
 (close leaf) and down (open leaf). Not sure whether Cyphre's one 
 is based on the same [simple] concept.

Can we somehow align while you do RebGUI 2?

 ... as discussed previously (see post from 10-Mar), with the key 
 points being:


 1) Use (and possible extension) of global UI settings (colors, sizes, 
 effects, behaviors) in %rebgui-ctx.r

 2) Widgets should define a 'rebind func if they need to change a 
 statically bound UI setting (e.g. color)
	3) Use the new tab-panel widget

and a fourth:


 4) Layout uses 'tip (not 'tooltip) to specify the widget's tip string!


Note that the current build has had most widget-specific exceptions 
removed, especially from %rebgui-edit.r; and that /dialog (hence 
popup) code has been rewritten to support true modal dialogs (that 
can in turn call additional modal dialogs). The later improvements 
are courtesy of recent REBOL/VIew popup changes.
Ashley:

%create-distribution.r should make the widget merge pretty easy.

Recent changes hopefully make the %area.r caret error trap redundant 
(if not, I'll add that in with the next build)

I am trying to adapt Cyphre's old grid to recent RebGUI requirements. 
I got myself past color adaptation, so actually I can get it displayed, 
internally it returns correctly API function results, but I need 
to adapt to event handling. I am facing two problems:

- editing, double-click etc do not work
- during some actions as resizing I get following error:

** Script Error: action has no refinement called on-click
** Where: set-data
** Near: face/action/on-click face


I looked into: help ctx-rebgui/widgets/grid/action, but those funcs 
are not set. Is there any need to set those function for particular 
widget? I looked at some other styles as e.g. button, but button 
is not using its face/action/on-click either, so I am a bit confused 
....

MaxV,  this works perfectly for me on Ubuntu 10.04.1, using your 
rebol.deb installer - I ran Ubuntu directly from the CD created using 
the most recent Ubuntu download, installed REBOL using your Ubuntu 
package, and ran this script.  Perhaps your version of RebGUI is 
different than mine?  This version loads rebgui.r from an http:// 
link:

rebol []
do http://re-bol.com/rebgui.r
font1: make face/font [
    name: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf"

Note; with the recent blog post; this basic-test-engine.r  may wel 
become part of the build-basic-test-engine-scripts.r reflective test 
generator.  As Carl points out; these are not better than human written. 
 They may cover more bases but still require a lot of attention to 
detail.   My interest in all this is mainly to keep Carl and RT away 
from the potato peeling work, freeing them for building new things.

note the ":" before the "x"
BrianH:
13-Sep-2008
Yup. There is a lot to learn there, and the number one lesson is 
this: they did it with what was there already, no plugins. If we 
want REBOL in web browsers, we are going to have to look somewhere 
other than Google for inspiration. Still, some of their recent behavior 
has some clues. Look at Gears - they are clearly recognizing that 
networks aren't reliable or fast enough to count on consistency. 
That's why they are promoting local storage.

He posted this Monday, and am not sure it would hurt to publish it:

Delay in upload caused by:


1. Resize needed some more work.  That has been done, and it is much 
better.  We will probably see a few more bugs, and may still want 
to make some general adjustments.  The main idea of resize has changed 
from earlier VID releases. I will write a DocBase page on it to explain 
how it works and why I changed it. 


2. A few styles broke in recent changes. These need to be fixed. 
Should only take a few hours.


3. A few weeks ago, when making larger changes, I removed some of 
the compound styles. I want to add back at least one or two, probably 
LIST for text lists at minimum.
Pekr:

Graham - as far as my understanding goes, it actually can be released 
without the finished Core. Maybe few fixes to View kernel will be 
needed (especially if we want Unicoded display), but it can be imo 
released with recent Core.

What happened to the stuff Carl was working on to increasing the 
power of the GUI by making it more webpage-like - by incorporating 
services into the widgets? I have not heard any recent talk of these 
ideas...
Henrik:
12-Nov-2008
I think we're doing pretty well on catching bugs and getting things 
redone and simplified that are too hard to work with. Carl needs 
a lot of convincing in this department, and will ask me if there 
isn't a different way to do the same thing. He needs convincing that 
his code or methods are too hard to work with, but when there is 
a change, it's usually a great one, such as the recent addition of 
multiple draw blocks for the same style.

So I think he will want to interfere, unless it's a component that 
I wrote that works flawlessly, is perhaps 4-5 lines of code and I 
didn't mention any problems in developing it. :-)


We're two people catching bugs a little faster than Carl can fix 
them. When the situation becomes opposite, then probably there will 
be another release or more people added.
Pekr:

Henrik - do we have anything like "anchor"? I do remember, from Romano'

some other, and it stayed that way. Maybe it is not needed with recent 
resizing model?

I suggested to Carl to consider KDE 4 aproach. It was in development 
few years, and it seeemed like there is no end to this. So the team 
decided to cut some features for 4.1 and later, mark recent state 
as 4.0, and release it. They were criticised, but I do understand 
their motives. Those are mainly psychological - release, and never 
look back. Use current one. Are there bugs? OK, let's fix them, and 
go ahead ...

I had another request to join R3 discussion. Couldn't some interim

Carl asked me to ask, what is general opinion to my suggestion - 
to remove parse /all refinement altogether. Current proposal is to

default behaviour for string rule. As for myself I don't mind compatibility, 
so I prefer removing /all refinement and switching pase internally 
to /all mode ....
Henrik:

I would wait 6-12 months at least with using R3 in production apps, 
particularly if you are betting on advanced high level things like 
GUI. Development could start now, but R3 is not near feature freeze 
yet. Many moving targets and bugs remain. Cyphre is supposed to give 
the graphics engine another overhaul. We are also missing many docs 
for painless porting of R3 to other OS'es.


BTW: Carl has mentioned before that some things are needed for beta. 
I'm not sure the recent blog post is a good indication that R3 is 
anywhere near beta. I read it more like "this is a necessary 3.0 
feature".

Brian: I judge situation upon recent experience! Networking protocols 
are NOT delivered by anyone for something like 3 years. So "it can 
be" means nothing for me, especially for the low-level C code of 
certain quality. How many C coders do we have here? How many of them 
are able to write the code, which would be accepted by Carl to be 
included in official distro?
Pekr:
9-Nov-2009
If we did not get single networking protocol in 3 years, no single 
fix to http protocol (and we are talking mezzanine level here), WHEN

R3? That is my only worry here. I am not agains the delivery by some 
"third party", I am just worried judging by recent experience ...
Pekr:
15-Dec-2009
guys, to make things clear for me - recent efforts - if someone reports, 
that R3 compiles on system XY, does it mean that we are able to build 
R3 on such a platform = it is build and usable on such a platform? 
Or are we reporting that Carl is able to compile just DLL on a target 
platform?

The morphic AA looks nicer though I wouldn't see any big difference 
if the pictures were shown separately to me. Also I haven't found 
any details..just couple of screenshot comparions with Inkscape. 
The author is not mentioning a word about preformance etc. As Pekr 
said AGG have already good quality and imo there will be 'slight' 
visual difference between Morphic unless you start comparing pixels.

Also don't forget there is not only antialiasing in play. AGG uses 
very vell written vector graphic 'framework' packed with features. 
All the new algorithms presented in recent years are still missing 
that part.

But I agree. If Morphic(or whatever else) will offer faster&better 
quality AA it should be possible to write custom rasterizer/renderer 
module(simmilar as the special Flash rasterizer) so it can be used 
inside AGG framework.

extra == "plus". In a recent CC bug Carl for example mentioned having 
LAST? in core and moving SINGLE? to plus, if it is still wanted.
BrianH:
6-Oct-2010
Main changes so far, relative to my recent work:

- A different code style which Carl thinks will be easier to read 
and maintain (mostly using CASE/all).

- Some of the more awkward repeating code patterns have been split 
out into functions, which in some cases will be made native.

- The API of LOAD has been simplified, though is more flexible. Its 
behavior with no options is the same, but some options have changed.

- Some functions are renamed, and some code has been moved from function 
to function (this was expected).

- The sys and lib contexts take the role previously planned for the 
exports context and module-tools mixin, though the usage is the same.

- Fewer functions will be exported into lib than I was expecting. 
The short names of the lib and sys contexts enable this.
BrianH:
6-Oct-2010
Those first three were tricks that I couldn't do, because I don't 
set the standard APIs and don't write the natives. But the core semantics 
are quite similar to my recent work.

might be Falcon and Io ( falcon is not yet 1.0 at falconpl.org )

It's probably time to reactivate my Git hostkit mirror, and update 
it with those recent sources ...

As for #1434 (and your most recent code example), I would prefer 
to have lit-words and lit-paths be consistently active values (the 
way lit-words are in R3 now) for the same reasons you proposed #1881 
and #1882. This means having them convert to word and path when they 
are evaluated instead of just gotten. But if you would prefer them 
to be a special case like parens (the way lit-paths are in R3 now), 
that would work for me too as long as that is the case for both lit-words 
and lit-paths - it would make them a little easier to work with.

This is by far the longest period of Carl's disappearance, IIRC. 
The reasons we can only speculate about - some personal/family difficulcies, 
burn-out to the REBOL topic, new daily job, which does not   left 
you with much energy and free time to do some other stuff, REBOL 
related.


We tried to get Carl's answer on R3 Chat, only with sporadic answer 
of recent Carl's job. But no answers to "what's next" for the REBOL. 
The reasons might be various again - Carl is willing to proceed, 
he just dosn't have time/energy. He is most probably not willing 
to open-source the project either, which gets us into kind of schizophrenic 
situation - no open-source, no progress either. If Carl would know 
the answer to what's next for REBOL question, he would already share 
it with us. But he did not do so, yet, which is a bit disappointing 
of course.


As for a phone call - I don't know - I would not call him, as it 
could get him into feeling, that we push him to give us an answer, 
which he might not have right now. But - I think that call from some 
friend, e.g. Reichart, would be accepted differently. But then - 
we can't push anyone to do anything, and from few weeks old discussion 
I think that Reichart does not necessarily feel urge to do such a 
thing, which is OK too.


So ... we wait ... and RED progresses at least, so hopefully in the 
end, there is still the chance that we will see the light in the 
end of the tunnel :-)

Andreas, the recent SQL standards call this operation MERGE, partly 
because UPSERT sounds terrible.

Ladislav, does not POKE DATA parameter already accept argument of 
any type ?  ( I checked only Rebol3 alpha 76 (not most recent) and 
Rebol2.7.7).

So even the FOREACH workaround would be enough to prompt a change 
now. For that matter, the most recent module system rewrite was specifically 
for that reason. The new module system doesn't do anything that the 
pre-108 rewrite didn't do, but it is easier to use. Easy by default 
is the top priority.

isn't this a recent change?
