REBOL 2.7 upgrades resume.

Changes to 2.7.5:

  1. HTTP scheme was reverted to prior version. The contributed code did not work properly for binary transfers. I do not have the time to review it, but if someone wants to fix the problem and resubmit it, the source code for both versions has been uploaded.
  2. Trace/net (network protocol trace) crash fixed.
  3. For compatiblity, the bind? function was added back, but do not use it for new code; use bound? instead! V3.0 does not include bind?
  4. Excessive section padding in the rebol.exe file was eliminated. This has no affect on program operation, it just makes the file smaller.

If it works ok, we can add a few other platforms (and perhaps an SDK build for testing purposes).

Remember...

That the main goal of 2.7 is to obtain a stable version (after the destablizing effects of performing a multiway merge from several source tree branches.) The determination of what will be the 2.7 beta and final release will depend on your confidence that we have a stable, compatible build.

This work is concurrent with 3.0 development. We will support both V2 and V3 development.
