The Rebol Week

Mailing List After taking a well-earned breather, the REBOL Mailing List server is back online. Once again, ML is the leading public square for all things REBOL. REBOL Mailing List Remark Rebol Week's very own Max releases Remark : "Remark allows you to create and manage a complete web site by creating static web pages which are built up from html tags which you define (plus any normal html, of course). "The tags can be as simple or as sophisticated as you need and because you have access to the full power of REBOL's dialecting within them, you can truly create powerfull and simple to use tags." Features: Create your own html tags and use them within your pages. Allows programable tags, and static html based tags. Multi-page management. Handles all the files in a web site recursively. Even creates dirs at destination, if new ones are added in source. Multi-site management allows you to configure all of your sites to be used within the same ui, so you don...

MS Windows Oldes' published first version of Windows .LNK file parser For a demonstration, open your rebol console and paste this in: do http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/projects/ucs2/latest/ucs2.r do http://oldes.multimedia.cz/rebol/shortcuts.r repeat i 7 [print ["=== test" i "==="] parse-lnk rejoin [http://oldes.multimedia.cz/tests/test i %.lnk]] RebGUI Many updates this week. Ashley has made many changes and improvements to RebGUI, and committed several builds to SVN bringing it up to build #58. Some of the changes: Info option now prevents tabbing Added action-on-tab block to behaviors (works in same manner as action-on-enter) Fixed modal requestor problem Button widget rewritten to take full advantage of AGG and fix some anomalies (e.g. actions now fire on button up instead of button down, replaced 'active facet with options [info], hover effect no longer "sticks" when a popup is called from a button, etc). And all this in 1/4 of the cod...

Volkers turn and I am a bit out of touch lately. Scanning my usual sources AltME Reichart promised to fix the top 10 annoyances in AltME if we could all agree. We came up with list - here's hoping! Mailing List Graham wrote a working script (send-gmail.r) that sends secure mail to Gmail using Gmail's smtp server, and a nearly working esmtps protocol that you can use to send secure mail using a modified send version. Needs Rebol/Command because of the use of SSL, so, if you need secure email, time to upgrade to Rebol/Command! Sunandas competition is still running and generating traffic. :) Its about tuning the search in the Mailinglist-archive . Not really needed IMHO, but people have fun :) Rebol.org Seems someone emulated an old synthesizer, PSG AY-3-8912 of MSX. 8-bit homecomputer IIRC. Should test it :) And something to experiment with Rebol's AGG draw. Rebol3 Carl was asking about the use of Context of whether it should be deprecated in favour of a flavour of ob...
