R3N,<\/h1>\n

Some weeks ago I wrote here that I started R3N at github. Activity has been around and the repository has been taken in use for hosting the REN-C branch of the open sourced Rebol 3. Also documents have been added and on related repositories are being hosted now.<\/p>\n

As for REN-C, the main focus now has become to get parity with R2. This means that finaly R3 will be able to replace R2.<\/p>\n

I’ll add some quotes by Graham Chiu that he posted on AltME to illustrate the kind of progress that is going on.<\/p>\n

I knocked off prot-smtp, prot-send and prot-pop3 recently based on the work I did many years ago.\u00a0 But also did a prot-synctcp<\/p>\n

Synchronized TCP Protocol <\/a><\/p>\n

this sort of allows you to do synchronous tcp like rebol2<\/p>\n

And Brian is close to porting Christian Ensel’s ODBC extension to ren-c which should also work with UnixODBC<\/p>\n

And current downloads are here REN-C Binary Downloads<\/a> ( windows, linux, OSX, and Android ) the files are much larger than the r3a builds because they include debugging, the FFI etc.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Barry, the console is now in usermode Console Change to Usermode<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also store multiple identities in the system\/user object set-net select system\/user\/identities ‘gmail switches to my gmail settings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you want to see more about the planned development, just head over to the Rebol Community Development Trello Board<\/a><\/p>\n

Come over and chat with the team on SO-chat<\/a> (you will need to get some SO point, ask a question marked with the tag Rebol to help us get you those points)<\/p>\n

And Barry was kind enough to mention that Brian actually had done most of the hard work for the console and he only helped polishing the code.<\/p>\n

That is all for now, till next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
