The week ending 18th March 2007

Rebol.org

As mentioned in the comments recently Steeve recently released a MSX emulator that allows you to play the old game galaga. Sound isn't too wonderful but that's a Rebol limitation at present. And it uses rebcode.

Other updated or new scripts include makedoc2.r, xpath.r ( a proof of concept of an xpath interpreter ), rss.r ( RSS reader ), steganography.r ( hide text in the noise pixels of an image ), photoprint.r, and colormatch15.r ( similar to the 1987 amiga version to create accurate colors ).

SDK

New beta SDKs 2.7.5 have been released for Windows, Linux and OSX. It is unclear how they differ from 2.7.4.

AltME

Rebol3 remains down and does not seem likely to return since rebol.net has been live again for the last few days. One benefit of this is the resurgence of the mailing list. However, if you need live help, AltME is still a very important asset for the lone Reboler. There are various other evolutionary benefits, but rather than prattle on how this strengthens the Rebol community, I have just resurrected the rebol-world. If you don't recall your login, or don't have one, then login as guest/guest, and we'll create one for you.
