683RobertSI launched the Aule Browser today at http://www.logiquewerks.com/aule-browser/index.html I am also at work on a Qtask browser - but first I have to stop tinkering with my Evernote SSB (you need to tolerate the Curl runtime to view my stuff )27-Jun 1:34
682xavieri have an application for a dentist with which i could do it25-Jun 19:49
681xavieri d like to do some 'real' programms in rebol 325-Jun 19:49
680xavieri have seen it when i was in the house of maxim but according to him it was still presenting inconvenience25-Jun 19:48
679xavieryessssssssssssssssssssssss25-Jun 19:47
678Carl(xavier: well, it's getting close with so many fixes, no?)25-Jun 19:44
677CarlBTW, #51 is rebol.org on R3 chat.25-Jun 19:43
676xavierit means that rebol 3 will be released in a few ?25-Jun 19:43
675CarlIf you need to reach me -- the fastest method is to send me a message on R3 Chat.25-Jun 19:43
674CarlI'm posting this message here, because I'm not sure if the ISP knows who to contact for REBOL.org. (Well, actually, I'm not totally sure either, because it was/is a team effort. Last I recall, Sunanda was the primary person -- please excuse me if I am incorrect.)25-Jun 19:41
673Carlwww.rebol.org is being moved by the ISP to a faster server. I'm not sure they understand what's really involved, so it is very likely that the site is going to break.25-Jun 19:38

671JankoAnother rebol + cheyenne website : http://www.qwikitxt.com/

I am cheating a little this time since it reuses most of qwikitodo :) ... I have made a screencast for the lazy ones to see the features a little deeper inside.. : http://www.screencast.com/t/yRUawmvIB (like visual diffing between versions)

670LadislavSection http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Inclusion_Methods#PREBOL_.28INCLUDE_dialect.29_keywords added14-Jun 18:09
669GreggI'll try to make time to give it some more thought and update the wiki.13-Jun 22:48
668LadislavI added point #8 to http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Inclusion_Methods#General_Needs, I suppose that is what you mean13-Jun 22:32
667Ladislavright you are, don't you want to add your idea to the discussion? (you are good at formulating things, better than I am)13-Jun 22:15
666GreggINCLUDE is very nice. What I think it still missing from the wiki are cons about the lower level alternatives with regard to higher level "standards". e.g. with LOAD and custom scripts you can do anything, sure, but there is no standard model, so each system is ad hoc.13-Jun 22:10
665Ladislavhttp://www.fm.vslib.cz/~ladislav/rebol/include.r : error reporting made more comfortable13-Jun 20:09
664JankoI looked at the docs and it seems really cool ..13-Jun 17:08
663JankoI will look at it .. but I don't know much about this yet .. I haven't yet used PREREBOL and I use do in only the basic way13-Jun 17:06
662Ladislavhttp://www.rebol.net/wiki/INCLUDE_documentation13-Jun 16:57
661RobertFrom experience I can agree to Lad's statement. It's really a very useful INCLUDE, especially if combined with the SDK.13-Jun 9:41
660LadislavJanko: give it a look, I would be surprised, if it didn't suit user's needs better than PREREBOL or DO12-Jun 20:57
659Ladislavhttp://www.rebol.net/wiki/Inclusion_Methods#INCLUDE - my contribution to the discussion12-Jun 20:56
658LadislavThe Include function (see http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/#section-4.1 ) has a couple of improvements:

*introduction of Include-supporting comments (faster, than Comment), that can be either "stripped off" by Include or kept, depending on the KEEP-COMMENTS variable (if the variable is defined, comments are kept, otherwise they are stripped off) *support of embedded scripts as described in http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-5.html#section-2

657LadislavIdentity, Bindology and Parse versus RE articles

the above articles have been revamped and moved to: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Identity , http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Bindology , http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Parse_versus_RE . When checking, do not forget to read and comment the http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Decimals-64#Rounding section in DevBase.

656Maximyep, its probably going into mod_remark :-)24-May 17:21
655PeterWoodI have published the string encoding utlilties that I wrote for rebol.org in the script library. They no doubt pale in comparison to those Gabriele has written but may help until his are finally released for publication.

The script package includes a minimal set of unit tests and some rudimentary documentation.

653amacleodGot an RSP error when I tried to change the global setting for expiration notification from 5 to 10 days. I had no groups added yet so that might be part of it.13-May 13:47
652Janko( I will reply in Ann-Reply )13-May 13:46
651amacleod"Your account was created"

"You can sign up now."

Should be "sign in"

Its so hard to catch all those little typos without others eyes...

I'm going to try it out, Janko. I'll give you any feed back I come up with.

13-May 13:44
650JankoSite Assistant, which is fully made in REBOL, has been released as public beta. This means you can all sign-up (for free) and try it -- and report me the bugs :) I am trying to get the core system stable and tested, features will still be added. S-A frontend runs on Cheyenne, and backend bots are also written in REBOL. http://www.site-assistant.com13-May 10:22

638ICariiSynth 0.0.3 released. http://rebol.mustard.co.nz/synth2.r

0.0.3 lots of bugfixes added safety error trap to play-song added ability to put chords inside song block as a block [C4 [C4 E4 G4] [E4 G4] G4...] please note that this still uses a single entry in the timing block sheet music now displays chords added multi-channel support (really 1 or 2 channels atm) 8bit and 16bit sound added added a new song to show chords/multi-note in operation

619GeomolPostScript dialect v. 0.4.6 released: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/postscript/

Added PDF output via script rebps2pdf.r See documentation!

16-Mar 13:02
618Maximliquid v0.7.1 released.

-adds freeze functionality to !plug, which allows you to basically turn "off" processing and messaging of a node, while still keeping all of its functionality. this allows you prevent uneccessary processing while setting up a liquid-network by switching off nodes until they are properly setup, for example.

-fixes a minor bug, and a regression.

8-Mar 21:25
617MaximBlood v0.1.1 released to rebol.org.

the first ever public demo of how to use liquid. The application itself is very simple for now, but the code is pretty clean, has a lot of comments to explain a lot of what is going on.

7-Mar 8:14
616MaximUploaded liquid v0.7.0 to rebol.org,

first production ready candidate to be released.

extensively tested and ultra stable so far (even in real-time graphicaly-oriented several thousand node applications).

608kib2BrianH: Sorry for that question, but how could I find where to download somehing on DevBase ? I saw your messages, but that's all.5-Mar 19:34
607BrianHR2-Forward has been released! Now you don't necessarily have to wait for R3 to get finished - use the new functions in R2 now :) Released to DevBase (aka R3 chat) in Community/Libraries/R2-Forward (837). Tested in 2.6.2, 2.7.5 and 2.7.6. Take a look! Stats: 72 words exported, 49999 chars, 41522 LM, 29730 LMF, 8379 LMFC.

Obviously, there are whole categories of stuff that won't be backported; the notes say what is supported. You'd be surprised what I *have* managed to backport though - even some datatypes are spoofed :)

Discussions in R3 chat #837, or the Core group here. More testing is welcome - I'd like to push my tested platforms back as far as 2.5.0 if I can. My todo list for R2-Forward is pretty extensive...

- Added output for TeX (LaTeX). - New way to specify fonts by font family. - New way to resize fonts relative -4 ... +5. - Scaling of images. - Math engine had big overhaul to not be focused on semantics, but on presentation (less errors in practise). - Text in code examples will be wrapped at 77 chars per line. - Added vertical space by simply doing more newlines in a row. - Updated all documentation and examples.

592BrianHRight. Compatibility with R2 has never been a goal of R3.9-Feb 4:14
591Gabriele(when we started including VID3 in R3, we had to switch from using R2 for the build process to using R3 itself, just because of that.)8-Feb 10:04

570OldesI told them.. but.. I think that the Python community is not much communicative. At least from my short experience with Python.

558?Is this the right place to announce commericial efforts? Seem like Reichart is missing out on advertising fees.29-Dec 14:42
557PeterWoodIt seems that Lulu.com has unfortunately recently increased its shipping charges especially to one or two countries. I have also heard that the shipping cost can be affected by the currency in which you buy the book. I believe that if you specify US Dollars to buy the book, it will be shipped from the US even if you live in Europe. It might be worth switching currencies if the shipping costs seems too high.29-Dec 14:40
556PeterWoodI am very pleased to announce that the printed version of "Rebol - A programmer's guide" is now available. The price is 25 Euros.Ê The book can be purchased at http://www.lulu.com/content/538230429-Dec 14:39

553Chris< QM > Version 0.3.9

544Maximargs.r released on rebol.org... pretty powerfull command-line argument management.

*dialect driven *typed arguments. *optional arg support (with default values) *different flag modes *automatic command-line error reporting *and much more...

the idea is not to provide a rebol interface to the cli, but provide a cli interface to rebol. so for example, to escape chars, we use "\" not "^" . the systems builds a parse rule out of your command-line spec and runs it against the supplied string.

there is a preliminary demo which shows how to use it... full docs expected this week-end. (they are drafted, but need to be revised and organised properly).

541PeterWoodThe preview of translation of the final chapter of Olivier Auverlot's Rebol - Guide du Programmeur is now available atÊhttp://www.lulu.com/content/4564589

This final chapter consists of a number of workshops that bring together much that has been covered in the book. These case studies focus on the foundations to build a video game, on developing a chat program, on writing a MySQL administration console, and finally on creating a reblet for Rebol/IOS.

There is still a little work left before the book can be published. I hope that it won't take too long. Once the full book is published, the individual preview chapters will be withdrawn from Lulu.com.

One of the things still to be done is toÊangliciseÊthe sample scripts which will then be made available for downloading.

540PeterWoodAt last, the electronic pre-release of Chapter 6 of the translation of Olivier Auverlot's "Rebol - Guide du Programmer" (http://www.rebol.com/article/0324.html) is now available atÊ(Êhttp://www.lulu.com/content/4426599Ê) for EUR 2.99. This chapter starts with a short overview of how to configure and manage Rebol/View desktops to provide a "virtual office". It moves quickly into serious programming topics in a Unix environment covering console data display, handling keystrokes, command line arguments, file access rights, shell access, pipes, sockets, Unix signals and dynamic library calls. A thorough introduction to RebDB rounds out the chapter.11-Oct 0:58

533BrettHI note with interest the efforts to translate the latest REBOL book from French to English to be published via LuLu.

http://www.ross-gill.com/QM/

After much wrestling with what the Model (M-V-C) should be, I have settled on an extensible Model system designed as an intuitive implementation of persistent objects. Also, pagination, some extra helpers and some tweaks here and there. QM grows, but has not yet reached the point of optimisation. More to follow in the !QM group...

HALFBRITE hasn't been tested yet, as I couldn't find such an image easily. Handle both compressed and non-compressed images. This is an example, where rebcode would help a lot, as a 320x200 image can take several seconds to uncompress. Usage:

iff-image: load-iff %some_picture.iff img: iff-image/as-image

img now is a REBOL image!, than can be viewed like: view layout [image img]

488PeterWoodIn March 2007, Olivier Auverlot published his second major book on ÒREBOL Ð Guide du programmeurÓ. Written in his native French the book has been well received, not least by Carl Sassenrath: ÒYes, Olivier has done it again with another good book on REBOL.Ó

Olivier and I have been working on an English translation, "REBOL - a programmer's guide" for a little while now. The book will eventually be published in both printed and electronic form on lulu.com. The prices are likely to be Euro 25.00 for the printed edition and Euro 16.99 for the portable document format version (pdf) version. (For those of you outside the Euro zone, Lulu also provides prices in Pounds Sterling and US Dollars.)

As the translation is likely to take some time to complete, we are providing exclusive previews of each chapter for those who don't want to wait until the whole book has been translated. The previews will only be available until the complete book is ready. Each chapter will be published as a pdf once it is available and will cost Euro 2.99.

The first chapter "Discover Rebol in an hour" is a hands-on introduction to Rebol for programmers following the development of an automated File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client. It covers many facets of this highly productive language. It is available today at http://www.lulu.com/content/2092020

The next three chapters, "The Rebol Language", "GUI, graphics and sound" and "Networking and the Internet" will be available within the next few days.

Olivier is the author of the book; I am the author of any mistakes that have crept in during the translation.

482PatrickP61Geomol, Just read your NicomDB thesis and thought it was well done. Just a quick note about a mis-spelling on page 36 toward the bottom. "If we think back to the four basic operations on a data record, they are Read, White, Rewrite and Delete." I think you mean "Write" instead of "White".23-Feb-08 22:00
481GeomolThe first version of the database, NicomDB, is released. See group !NicomDB19-Feb-08 19:13
480Geomolyes, sorry13-Feb-08 22:44
479GeomolHenrik, as I understand those licenses, with GPL, you can only use the code for free in GPL projects. With BSD, you can use the code for free in not-open-source projects too. This way we hope ot finance further development by close-source licenses.13-Feb-08 22:44
478Henrikshould movve to ann-reply...13-Feb-08 22:44
477GeomolI'm confident, we talk weeks, not months. The first part of the code probably in days. From experience, I know, time estimates on software projects are very hard to do, but in this case, all the old code is there, I would just like to review it, test and optimize a little before release.13-Feb-08 22:42
476HenrikGeomol, so why GPL instead of BSD?13-Feb-08 22:40
475TomBongeomol, interesting concept. It will also be interesting to see the performance and behavior with different filesystems like: ZFS,REISER, NFS XFS, CFS, GFS etc. in mysql you can choose the database engine, with nicomDB you choose the filesystem for different features. (e.g. REISER for speed, NFS for distributed networking, CFS/EncFS for crypto, GFS for cluster etc. :-) any aprox. date when it will be available?13-Feb-08 22:38

471GeomolMy database NicomDB, created with my friend Martin Nyberg, is going open source under GPL license. The plan is to release the source a little at a time, so we can make sure, everything is working with as many versions of REBOL as possible incl. the coming R3. For now, my original thesis for an education, I ended some years ago, is available at:

http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdb/thesis.pdf

It describes much of the unique concepts of this relational database.

I may have the version wrong...not at home. You need Wine 9.14? or greater - released from winehq a few months ago or REBOL wait will not function properly, pretty much hosing VID. It was a timer call bug in Wine that's been fixed. It was not an R3 problem, but Wine.

Here is also new example how to include first of GUI elements: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/example/swf8-cliphandler In the future I would like to create something like mini Layout dialect which will be used for better positioning of the new GUIs I'm working on.

411GeomolHokus Pokus! This is a little fun script, I'm working on, that actually may be useful for someone. It can change something into something else. First version could transform bitset! back to it's original string!, then I added conversion between issue! and tuple!. Now it can also translate between many human languages, like in this example:

>> do http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/rebol/hokus-pokus.r >> hokus-pokus/translate "Hello, how are you?" "en2es" == "ÀHola, c—mo eres?"

Using the /translate refinement, and the extra argument can be any of: "ar2en", "zh2en", "zh-CN2zh-TW", "zh-TW2zh-CN", "en2ar", "en2zh-CN", "en2zh-TW", "en2fr", "en2de", "en2it", "en2ja", "en2ko", "en2pt", "en2ru", "en2es", "fr2en", "fr2de", "de2en", "de2fr", "it2en", "ja2en", "ko2en", "pt2en", "ru2en", "es2en" translating between languages like Arabic, English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Yeah, it's a real Transmogrifier. Have fun! (It may be hard to type in many of these languages with current REBOL, I don't know! :-))

405TerryFirst of our proposed source releases.. Rash 1.1 -- Now GPL (Windows binary.. will post the Rebol source as soon as I find it ;)

Rash is a Rebol / Flash Hybrid Personal Agent using some early Natural Language Processing prototypes The technology has grown since this application, and is being incorporated into Framewerks, but it's a fun introduction. I'll post an old description of what it does in the Redwerks group

Download here.. See the Redwerks group for instructions.. or posting questions. http://alicefair.com/rash/rash1.1.zip

403TerryAfter much consideration, we've decided provide a dual license for Redwerks technologies similar to MySQL's licensing policy.. If you are developing and distributing open source applications under the GPL License, then you are free to use Redwerks Inc. software under the GPL License

For OEMs, ISVs, and VARs who distribute Redwerks with their products, and do not license and distribute their source code under the GPL, Redwerks Inc. provides a flexible OEM Commercial License.

The dual - license will apply to the following Redwerks Inc. technologies

Eco - Our Semantic Network DBMS Framewerks- our website creation middleware built on Eco LFReD - our natual language intelligent agent

For more information on this, and how it relates to Rebol, check out the Redwerks group.

398ChrisUsing QM with Cheyenne -- instructions now included in the documentation: http://www.ross-gill.com/QM/introduction.html

All mod-QM should do is intercept 404s and redirect the request to QM. I don't think this affects existing setups (please tell me if I'm wrong). QM 404s by default are handled in files://system/views/errors/notfound.rsp

396?I created a new project in Qtask called "IT Think Tank" The goal is to invite people that like fiddling with Servers. I realized that I know a lot of people that do this, and they all have the same issues, so they might as well share knowledge.

If you would like to be invited to this project, shoot me a private message.

The advantage of a group here on Qtask over - lets say - some forum on the web is:

- Knowing each other, or being only one degree of separation tends to mean one feels more comfortable asking deeper questions. - Being more than a Forum, people can share files, build Qwikis of common issues, etc. - The people I know tend to be a "click above."

395ChrisIntroducing QuarterMaster: Yet Another Web Framework that I'm probably going to have to take time to document properly: http://www.ross-gill.com/QM/

In short, it is designed around the MVC pattern. It is open source (license tbd). Tries to be lightweight, but could use some work. Tries to be as thin a wrapper to Rebol (/Core, /Base, whatever) while providing key functions for creating web sites/applications. Includes a flat-file dbms out the box, which generally works. Currently coded to work with Apache (needs mod-rewrite and 'request-uri' env variable), but should eventually be httpd agnostic. Please try, please test. I will answer all and every question (within reason). All suggestions considered with an open mind...

394MaximREMARK HAS NOW FINALLY BEEN RELEASED ON THE STEEL WEB SITE

REMARK is a robust web site building tool which allows you to construct your own custom tags using rebol values and dialecting. The main difference of remark with other tools of its kind, is that the web pages do not contain code, they contain data or parameters to your custom tags. Remark also persistently reparses tags until no more custom tags exist in the dialected tags you create. this means you can actually build up your pages with custom which use custom tags themselves... talk about leverage!

at version 1.3.5 it support multiple site configs, ftp dumping, site specific configuration, and the very flexible remark engine itself.

Creating tags is trivial and for simple templating, you don't even need to know how to code in rebol... just html content within stored files can be nested within your site's pages and will be included, by simply adding a tag which is called like the stored html.

Using differently named source file extensions you can even decide to parse the content differently, so that you can create different page templates or one can even decide to create a make-doc handler for example (its not included by default, just possible if you need it).

you can check-out the FULL documentation, including tutorial, example site, reference page and guides on adding new tags and templates.

391Maximliquidator, teaser here is a quick snapshot of the culmination of years of work, finally coming together.

using the same (evolving and improving) core engine as the regraph tech demo, I am now attacking the IDE for dataflow application development. FINALLY. Also note that this is built over liquid which is a full featured, lazy computing, dynamically reconfigurable dataflow engine. also note that all internals of the nodes (processing and gui views) are built using liquid itself, so it will be possible to apply your own connections within the internals of the application itself !

Expect first working demos within a few weeks.

First picture out of the lab: this is basically a generic "Add" node being instanced 4 times, note that each plug can stick out at any angle and that the node type label is already neatly aligned in the center of the node's core at the center.

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/images/news/liquidator.jpg all lines and plugs stay connected whatever you drag around (plug or node)
