Carl Sassenrath on the future of REBOL
In a blog entry Carl Sassenrath - who also is the author of "Exec" - has announced that he will probably finish the development of his programming language REBOL.

Originally the language has been a commercial product. But the "old model of how proprietary software products make money has been turned inside-out." He also said that "I also need to tell you that I don't have much time to help out with whatever the REBOL future may be. I can help a little from time to time, but generally I'm very busy these days."

Sassenrath has invited all users to post comments on how the future of REBOL is supposed to look like. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.6 (beta)
X-bEnCh is an Amiga game launcher & more. In a 128 colors display (ECS compatible), this frontend can autoscan your hard-drive to find your WHDLoad games or your .exe files and organize them in launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.

Changes:
  • A New Amigaguide full doc.
  • Fixed some files check on startup that were wrongs.
  • Now pressing the "Del" Key when startup will cancel the X-bEnCh loading.
  • Now display the release number under the X-bEnCh startup logo.
  • Now working with a temp dir to leave the Ram free.
  • New scroll text "Credits screen".
  • Launcher Reactivity optimisations and lighter code.
  • FastJump added. Now simply use your keyboard's key to jump where you want.
  • MegaRam option Added. Can save from 34kb up to 136 kb of ram.
  • Now return where you was before, after leaving a game.
  • Now before loading a .slave/.exe, check if exist a .xbs script and use it if exist.
  • Now autoscan the tool types of WhdLoad. If none found, use the default tooltypes you've set in the setup screen.
  • Now display the number of files in the listing, right to the listing name in the launcher.
  • Now in the launcher, a short push on the 2nd joy button will switch between your listings and a long push will escape to the main menu.
  • Now the game name in the loading screen is truncated and centered.
  • Big fail fixed in the cLi.
  • Added the "help" command to the cLi to list all the extra X-bEnCh cLi commands availables.
  • Added the "resetxset" command to the cLi. Really useful to clean up a buggy install of X-bEnCh.
  • Now the subdirectorys level scan is unlimited.
  • Now the listings are 3 time lighters than with the previous release.
  • Now listings are of real unlimited size.
  • Now ending a path with a "/" in the setup will work as same as without.
  • Now display the number of files added to a listing when updating in the setup.
  • No more create a bugged list when there's nothing to add to the list in the choosed path.
  • Xsetup executable is 25% lighter.
  • Fixed a small palette bug when leaving the setup.
  • Sometime the setup exit on a black screen.. Fixed.
  • Preload switch added as a whdload global option.
  • Display switch added as a whdload global option (Switch PAL/NTSC).
