View 1.3.61
|
Additional changes to Rebcode VM. Adds cmp opcode for fast string comparision, identical to the C language strcmp function. Changes cmpl to not.i to avoid confusion with cmp. Rebcode is now rebound for inherited objects (same as functions). Fixes copy if src = dest. Fixes value? if word is unbound.
In the draw dialect, the pop (matrix) operation has been removed.

Includes both major and minor changes. Watch for new types of problems.
Major changes to to the internal storage mechanism used by REBOL (thousands of lines affected). These changes have been made to make internal dialects easier to write and maintain. This is being done in preparation for the dialected rich-text improvements.
- The system/standard object contains definitions for all of the internal objects used by various sub-systems.
- Internal tables are created for words and strings. If you viewed strings by scanning the executable file, you will notice that many of the strings are now gone. The only strings left are essential boot strings. Note that the security requestor strings no longer appear, which reduces hacking on those important user permission messages.
- Various rare assertion failures are now numeric, not strings. The thinking here is: since they "never" happen, they should not be allocated string space.
- The REBOL program is 5K smaller.
Minor changes have been made to the rebcode VM. Added the sign (return 1,0,-1 on greater, equal, lesser) and asr (arith shift right). Changed lsr (to be non-signed), fixed type? (if source and dest are same variable), and allow back to act like skip (not clip negative series indices). Also, a variety of small bugs have been fixed. See RAMBO for bug fix list.
Also fixes a bug in load if a literal pseudo-datatype (e.g. series!) was found. The type was not properly restored. This problem was only encountered when functions that used argument pseudo-datatypes were molded or saved with the /all refinement.

Core 2.6.50
View 1.3.50
|
The first general release of REBOL with new virtual machine (VM).
The VM supports high speed opcodes (called "rebcode" - similar to bytecodes
but more powerful) to allow developers to optimize specific functions in a
machine (CPU) independent manner. Note that the current VM is not secure
(memory can be modified), so use with caution and at your own risk. Docs,
tests, and demos to be provided.

View 1.3.1
|
First beta test version of View for Linux.
Requires C++ libraries to be in your lib directory (pref: stdc++ 5.0).
(Please tell us if you encounter execution problems.)
This release does not do installation. View will run in the dir you put it in. But, it does use the standard "~/.rebol/" area for the data cache.
Note that DRAW (AGG) does not support fonts on Linux at this time due to lack
of X11 support for font glyph queries.

This is a crude prototype of REBOL/View running on OSX. It generally works and runs REBOL/View scripts. The viewtop opens properly, and you can launch various reblets, even some of the games. However, there are a few things to watch out for (to be fixed):
- Not yet an app bundle. So, sorry, you must chmod +x rebview and run it from the shell. (We will bundle it pretty soon).
- No security requestors! That means it is like running without normal REBOL security in place. Use caution in what you decide to run.
- No installation. View will run in the dir you put it in. But, it does use the standard OSX "~/Library/Application Support" area for the data cache.
- No timers. So scripts that use timers (like a few of the demos) do not yet work.
- Still uses CTRL keys for apps, not yet APPLE CMD key.
- DRAW (AGG) does not support fonts.
- Also missing: menus, file requestor (native), clipboard port, icons, and much more.
But, despite all that, it still does ok for an early prototype.
We would like to thank Jaime Vargas for his encouragement and help in getting REBOL/View for OSX moving again!

Here are builds of the most recent betas for OpenBSD. They include all
fixes below, but they may not include all necessary fixes for
final release. We need OpenBSD users to test these and tell
us how they stand. Note: The normal graphics functions that are part
of Command are not included.
