RebolekRebol 3.22.0 is out!
There is new console, improved security and heavily improved documentation. Plus the usual bunch of improvements and fixes. Get it now at https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3/releases/tag/3.22.0
Recoil0.10.10 landed!
The main focus was cross compilation but to properly implement this, package manager needed to come first.
So now Recoil has package manager. It's inspired by Nix and Haiku - it has immutable state and ability to rollback. Every package is stored under its hash so different projects can use different package versions simultaneously. It's prone to leftpad incident. Currently, it's fully decentralized and there's no central package registry. This may change when there are some packages to include in the registry.
Another feature of the package manager is that it can install 3rd party artifacts too and as current TCP/TLS implementation depends on mbedtls, it handles it, so mbedtls is removed from sources and downloaded on demand.
Package manager is written fully in Rebol3 so can be reused for Rebol3 itself.
The other big highlight of this version block!. It's first version and not fully tested but it's there, which is good. I'll start JSON rewrite using new block! so I'm sure I'll uncover a lot of problems but that's expected.
And cross-compilation. Recoil can now build ARM packages and is fully tested on rPI.
So that's all for now, enjoy!

Francois Jouen is extermely smart guy and this just proves it. Making GUI by combining Blend2D with OpenCV? With Rebol, anything's possible!

There was a bug in Rebol3 JSON parser that left some Unicode sequences unescaped when hitting double quote. Now that bug is gone.

I was playing a bit with Postgres, wanted to ask Oldes few questions and instead of answering me, he basically took over and the result is that there's now PostgreSQL scheme for Rebol3. 🤣
