Hi,
I hope I can share few info for you ... I talked to Carl few days ago
and he told me, that RT priority list was/is -
1) Finish Command SDK - done
2) move servers - done
3) finishing OSX View version - pending
other things which should come:
- View kernel upgrade - direct draw modes
- I also asked about browser plug-ins, as they were mentioned in
amiga.org interview and Carl told me, that they are also high on
priority list. The idea is to first have plug-ins using its own windows,
followed by plug-ins which will be able to draw inside browser window -
Carl also mentioned VID in that regard and that is why I mentioned it.
The idas is have rebol web-forms in browser. I can tell you that as for
me, I think it will be a killer app ...
IOS Developer server stuff is imo owned by their respective authors, so
you would have to ask them. What I would like to see in following VID:
- simplified list as Carl did
- check-line etc. Carl did
- Menu, context menu - Cyphre
- tab-view - Cyphre
- tree-view - Cyphre
- list-view (grid) - Cyphre for Robert ... Robert would have to allow it
being incorporated into View .. :-)
- focus system - Romano (Romano also did excelent auto-resize system,
but not all developers agreed to have it as a part of VID)
Well, I can only agree with Maarten though - those that used that styles
can't work without them anymore - they are so usefull! Maybe we could
get word from Carl upon the issues, as maybe RT's planned VID update is
not far-away? I don't know ...
