[REBOL] ANN: rugby 4.3

Hi all,
I just released Rugby 4.3 , the best version ever. All upgrade!
Download it at http://www.rebolforces.com/~erebol/
Rugby is a rebol request broker that allows you to build distributed
computing applications in a few lines of code! A great example is Graham's
GoRim.
What's new:
- Transparent error propagation. An error on the server is now serialized and
instantiated on the client as the same error! This makes it easy to do
distributed debugging.
- Http server side handler is improved in the way it clears the buffers at
the end of a request. This may (or may not) fix the runaway problem after a
long period of time where servers start eating CPU time on some platforms.
- Functions now support refinements! YES!
- Totally renewed stub generation engine for refinement support. As a side
effect you can now import multiple services in the global namespace.
- Some minor performance improvements compared to 4.3e resulting in a 7-10%
increase overall.
I will add extra documentation in the next few weeks, although the current
documentation should be good enough for most of you. Please don't hesitate to
ask me questions by email as specfied on the web site.

The mirror on http://www.vrijheid.net will be updated within a week.
Enjoy,
Maarten
