6-Feb-2010 - REBOL 3 A97 Released [0457]R3 resumes alpha releases after a timeout for building R2.7.7 and the new REBOL.com website. This release fixes/adds more than 40 bugs/wishes as posted in CureCode. See the R3 Changes page for details. 28-Jan-2010 - REBOL Status Report 2010.2 [0456]It's time again for an update... I've been incommunicado... almost to an extreme degree, as many of you know. But, sometimes, that's what it takes to get the job done -- So nice to have it accomplished. (If you're not aware, the project was an overhaul of the REBOL.com website, a large and intense undertaking.) Yes, it had to be done... but, we're talking about more than a decade of documents in a wide variety of formats. I was surprised even to find several that had not been accessed nor format-updated since the 2000-2001 days. Perhaps you knew of those, but I'd long forgotten them. For example, who remembers this document on detecting an Internet connection with async-DNS or this one on encrypting strings and files. I also divided up a few of the longer docs, such as REBOL/View Graphic System Reference. That document was quite long, and splitting it up helps search engines like Google index it better. Along the way, WIP Wiki 3.1 helped immensely. It was like a dream come true. This website project was a case showing the clear advantages of using a system written in REBOL. A huge time saver. Along the way, when I found the need for a new markup tag or other feature, it would take me less than two or three minutes to implement it, including updating the main web server. The Wiki now weighs in at just 15 KB LMFC. Quite compact, considering all that it can do. I'll be using this system a lot more in the future. So, what remains to be done? Here's the list:
And finally, back to R3...With the website project now under control, it's time to get back to R3 development as our main focus. So, you'll see that project resume now. Prior report: REBOL Status 2010.1 15-Jan-2010 - REBOL 2.7.7 - Does it install correctly? [0455]We got a feedback today saying that REBOL/View 2.7.7 is a "thug" because it puts folders on the Windows desktop! If that's true, it's news to us! Certainly, such behavior is not intentional -- and we'll fix it immediately if we can track it down. When we test on our systems, we see the REBOL program icon. That's all. The other folders are in their installation locations. However, if you installed a previous version of REBOL, newer versions will use the same location information. That's considered a feature. If the user says put the files in some location, we'll keep them there. Let's gather some info on this, so we can figure it out. Post any notes here that can help us track it down, and we'll fix it for 2.7.8. Thanks.
