Overview of 2.6.2 / 1.3.2

There are about 50 fixes and enhancements in this release, some of them very deep kernel fixes, but perhaps the most important thing about it is that it is a complete release that syncs up Core, View, and the SDK.

Overview of 2.6.0 / 1.3.0

There are hundreds of fixes and enhancements in this version of REBOL; major new features were added; it is a milestone release.

There were many more enhancements we wanted to include, but there just wasn't time. A top priority for this project was to ship a new official version of REBOL that can be used to build new SDK releases, Link clients, and the OSX port. With that done, the goal is to provide more frequent official releases with small enhancements while planning the next major release.

One of the most important things about this project is that its success is due to the combined efforts of REBOL Technologies, the REBOL community, and the open source Antigrain AGG library. Two previous "version 1.3" projects and many unofficial releases provided much of the foundation for this release, not to mention the valuable experience of learning what didn't work when coordinating and managing a project like this.

Important Changes

In addition to the changes listed below, there are a large number of fixes in this release, many of which were included in beta releases (1.2.5 - 1.2.57). See the list of RAMBO bugs in this document to get an idea of what fixes have been included.

New GC (Garbage Collection)

This is the biggest change you can't see. The new garbage collector is a major enhancement and should reduce or eliminate the small number of cases where the old GC caused problems. A great deal of testing was done on the new GC, but be sure to report, via RAMBO, any errors you think might be related as soon as you see them, and please include (minimal) example code to reproduce the problem.

Path Evaluation

Paths now allow paren! values, which is a major change and will greatly simplify certain kinds of expressions. For example, the following two statements are now equivalent:

a/(1 + 1)
a/2

>> n: 3
== 3
>> b: [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]
== [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]
>> b/(n + 1)
== 4
>> b: [1 2 3 [a b c] 5 6 7 8]
== [1 2 3 [a b c] 5 6 7 8]
>> b/(n + 1)/3
== c

In addition, path literals (unevaluated paths) can now easily be evaluated later with DO:

>> do 'system/stats
== 5012769
>> s: 'system/stats
== system/stats
>> do s
== 5013601

>> blk: [system/stats]
== [system/stats]
>> do blk/1
== 5020369

Parse

The PARSE function was enhanced in a number of ways, and even more improvements may be considered in the future.

• Recursion limit increased
• Improvements related to side-effects of parens
• Fixed issues when parsing past the end of the input
• Dynamic rules are now properly garbage collected
• Allows variables and paths

val: #"c"
test: context [len: 4 str: "ab"]
parse "ababababccc" [test/len test/str some val]

• Allows RETURN and THROW

do does [parse "a" [#"a" (return 4)]]

catch [parse [%test.txt] [set file file! (throw file)]]

Networking

• New ESMTP (authenticated email) protocol
• set-net supports ESMTP options
• Send now uses esmtp
• Changed HTTP scheme so that query now does an HTTP HEAD request (instead of GET). this means now you can safely write:

info? http://somehost/some-big-file

• Entirely new FTP protocol handler by Romano Paolo Tenca

New Modal System for VID

This is something the community has been asking for, and now they have it. This is a major change, but was designed so normal REBOL code won't be affected at all. The only code in danger of breaking is code that hacks into the old window event handling system.

There are a lot of other VID enhancements planned, but they were deferred for a 1.3.x release. They are a high priority, but also require a great deal of thought and design work; we didn't want to rush them out the door now and have to fix things later.

Revised Image Datatype

On the surface, images work as they have in the past for the most part; internally, the code was improved and optimized. It contains better support for pixel modification, copying of areas (cropping), alpha channel support, and a lot more.

There are some changes that may affect existing scripts if they operated directly against the image data or manipulated images at the pixel level.

A significant change is that image datatype support was added to REBOL/Core as well.

All New DRAW Effect and DRAW Function

The DRAW effect has undergone major changes in this release to better support scalar vector graphics (SVG). DRAW now uses the AGG library from Antigrain.com, which was created by Maxim Shemanarev as the new engine behind the DRAW dialect. With this advanced 2D rendering system in place, REBOL's already-impressive graphic capabilities have been extended. There are already a number of impressive demo apps that show off this new feature (see the Viewtop Demos folder).

In addition to using DRAW within face effect blocks, a new native has been added that lets you DRAW directly into an image datatype. Alpha channel transparency is fully supported.

VID Face Accessors and Doc Objects

For people new to REBOL, and even some old-timers, learning and remembering which styles use /text, /data, or /value refinements can be a chore. Face accessors solve that problem by defining internal functions that "know" how a style works. You don't have to know which facet is used, or what other functions you might need to call (to update a scroller on a text-list for example); just use the accessors and they'll do the dirty work for you. Here are the face accessor functions:

clear-face
get-face
reset-face
scroll-face
set-face

Updated Functions

array	Now does a deep copy of initial values if they are a series
call	Accepts relative paths, accepts file! argument
extract	Throws error on zero skip size; used to loop endlessly
forall	based on new FORSKIP
form	FORM of an object or a port now does something useful. The object block and the make object! part is stripped. Fields are output in human readable mold (construct) format.
forskip	Changed to return the body block result to match other control functions, like foreach. The word is also no longer left at the tail; it is either reset to the original position or left where a BREAK occurred. This change could break existing code, but our research showed that the risk is very small, and we think the new behavior is much more natural.
get	When used on objects, returns a block containing values for each word.
lowercase	Now accepts char! values
mold	Line breaks within blocks are formatted correctly again; some interim releases had problems with this.
parse	Now allows variables and paths; recursion limit increased; allows RETURN and THROW; improvements related to side-effects of parens.
quit	Added /return refinement (lets you set exit values)
reduce	Added /only refinement (used for dialect evaluation)
repeat	Fixed to allow better recursion. A deep copy of the evaluated block is now bound, with bind, to the iteration variable.
request-file	Fixed to keep file names used for saves
reverse	Returns same index as passed, rather than the tail
set	When used on objects, sets all word from the block provided
split-path	completely re-implemented; much smaller and faster now.
throw-on-error	Revised to allow any value, including unset
to-local-file	Allows relative paths; returns string datatype
to-string	Properly terminates char! conversions
to-word	Now supports conversion of datatype! values
uppercase	Now accepts char! values

unlight-text	Undocumented

Other Important Changes, Notes

• Maximum negative integer! RAMBO 3099. Watch for side effects.
• Changed decimal equality comparison (coef = 0.1) RAMBO 3680. This is a "compromise value" that produces print results that are similar to those of comparison. Of course, in floating point, nothing is perfect. Use round function for more control.
• Uses Win32 file access and control functions. It only affects REBOL 3.1 platforms and has no affect on Linux, BSD, etc. With this release, REBOL uses the newer Win32 file system API, rather than the old Windows "compatibility mode" functions.
• Changes to how script/header/needs value is parsed.
• View Desktop code (Viewtop) reorganized and cleaned up.
• image! is no longer part of the any-string datatype set.
• You can now type editor from the keyboard and provide a string, block, or other datatype in addition to the normal file or url.
• Changes have been made to face verification. Negative face sizes no longer throw an error, but invalid offset values will throw an error or be ignored. If you use negative sizes, please watch for errors during your testing.
• "read %/" returns a list of drives; under 1.3 there is no leading slash. e.g. This is a bug to be fixed soon.

>> read %/
== [%a/ %c/ %d/ %r/]

RAMBO Changes

Note that not all bug fixes and enhancements were added to RAMBO, so this is really only a partial list. RAMBO is used as much as possible and the best way to make sure your bug report or enhancement request is addressed is to submit it to RAMBO.

Another important thing to note here is that not all the bugs listed were in official REBOL releases. While 1.3 was in development, a number of interim releases were made available for testing and RAMBO was used to track issues in those releases as well.
