hmmm. google search for "core25.html rebol" says look at
http://www.rebol.com/docs/core25.html

Added CHECKSUM/secure and RANDOM/secure, producing cryptographically secure
checksums and random numbers respectively.
Added CHECKSUM/hash and CHECKSUM/method (same as checksum/secure, but with a
selectable algorithm: 'md5 or 'sha1), and checksum/key (calculates a keyed
message digest). MD5 added as an alternative checksum algorithm.
Subtraction of a date! value months bug fixed.
The >, >=, <, <= functions have been removed from the pair! datatype. They
lead to hard-to-find errors.

REBOL is great: kudos RT, but RT's website behaves like an amateur !@#$@#$^
mess.
dead, out of date or misleading links.
indexing and search for docs and how-tos imo suck.
www.rebol.com needs to be cleaned, checked and all documentation aspects
re-designed *using* REBOL, so it makes a stronger advertisement for itelf,
and is easier to maintain by RT. It would benefit better from community
support. Personally I think they should base the online documentation on
Vanilla coupled to makespecpro.
