It's an experimental release, and only for
windows and some linuxes.
Is that two core releases before a View release?
Changes and links to the binaries can be got here:

Ah, now I know why some people put
halt
at the end of their scripts. :)

I would appreciate some elaboration on this corruption
issue ..... right now I'm dealing with an uncaught
exception that reads as follows:
** Script Error: series word has no context ** Near: series /head
/tail /auto /lines
This is not being picked up by any of the
try/error constructs that I have found to be
reliable thus far. (version 2.5.5.4.2 Linux RH 7.2)
trace shows nothing helpful.....
*And*
It's not appearing when I use 2.5.0.4.2
Also, not appearing when I run the script on a
Sun Server...
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
..definitely disquieting..
thanks

i do get that "Script Error" too (using 2.5.5.4.2) and i know that
graham has the problem as well - so it seems to be a bug in 2.5.5 (at
least in the linux version). until now i've been unable to trace it
back to something specific ...

replying to myself, but it seems that this error is fixed in 2.5.6.

Yes, but mine is the Solaris version.
Perhaps I should start sprinkling a few 'halts around ?

The problem that I spoke of was not showing on
the Solaris server that the same code ran on,
but see my reference to the 'sub construct.

:-)
My main debugging tools are 'halt, '?? and
my own 'mrk which just prints out
"#####################here##############"

I have 'fixed' it. It appeared bizarrely that rebol was actually
parsing a comment. I was using Andrew's 'sub' subroutine scheme
that automatically handles local variables. I removed the comment
and changed the scheme to 'function just to be on the safe side.
I haven't yet shared this with Andrew, but it remains that
neither 'attempt nor 'if error? try[][]' caught this, and that's
reflective of a possible rebol 'bug' alright, or so I would think.
cheers

I'm interested in putting this in to my version! :)
