Thank you very much Robert and your team members for all of your efforts. I'll also contribute to your advancement by sending some contributions to you very soon. Just waiting for my next pay cheque in about 15 days.

I've upgraded the binary downloads for the imminent Red 0.3.3 release. They wrap up all the latest improvements to Red and my bindings, in particular 0MQ, the C library binding and the console. Please test the ones for your system to improve Red's quality:
In celebration of the commercial release of CloneLocker, the first commercial product built entirely with Red, and the upcoming new release to be announced by Doc soon:
For every $1 donated to Red before 11-Sep-2013/0:00UTC, Respectech will match that donation up to a maximum of $1000 ($2000 total donation) as a thanks for the amazing help that Doc provided with the Windows kernel driver and additional features. Depending on the amount donated during this time, Respectech will also give an additional bonus amount at the end of the 30-day period, plus a percentage of each license of CloneLocker sold as an extra thanks.
(The above amounts refer to US Dollars - sorry for not making that clear to the rest of the world that uses other currency called "Dollars".)
Issues, pull requests, etc of course remain unaffected. Redirects from the previous location (rebol/r3) are in place (both HTTP/S and Git). Forks on Github originally created from rebol/r3 automatically reflect the new upstream location.

(Just to clarify: that rename was Carl's decision. I'm just the messenger :)

I have uploaded another new script to rebol.org but this time I want to make an announcement
It is a quite complex script and I desperatly need your help as bug hunters but mainly also to "fill in the gaps" since there are a lot of things to add and try. Please help me by sending me an email or posting your additions and enhancements on AltMe.
To be able to use this script you must have the Rebol SDK http://www.rebol.net/builds/#section-2 and change the sdk-dir variable. If you want to stop dumping events go to ;view-funcs/view/; Window handler/handle-events/handler.

I just got the specifications and pricing pages done for the Rebol3/Red HD surveillance cameras I've been developing: http://respectech.com/smoothcam.html

I upgraded my 0MQ binding for Red and Red/System to support and require 0MQ 3 when used on Windows:
Therefore, Red/System now has its own encapsulated interface to program arguments here in ANSI.reds (because it uses string copying functions from the C library):
get-args-count: Returns the number of arguments, but not including the program path. get-argument: Returns a string argument by number. On Windows, the argument is copied and double quoted arguments are stripped. Number 0 gets the program path. end-argument: Frees the memory of the copied argument. This does nothing on other platforms than Windows.
It now builds on the Red/System interface to provide the following functions:
get-args-count: Returns the number of arguments, but not including the program path. get-argument: Returns a string argument by number. On Windows, double quoted arguments are stripped. Number 0 gets the program path. get-arguments: Returns a block of strings of all arguments, but not including the program path.
This is in sync with our internal code line and we will maintain the repository. Pull-Requests are welcome and will be reviewed by us.
I hope with this step, the whole fuzz about Saphir and if it can be used is solved. As we promised, we will publish the code for it. Now I'm looking forward if the community is picking it up and if we see some pull-requests soon.

Kaj will give a presentation about Red wednesday 18th next week during Software Freedom Day at te CWI (Center for Math and Informatics), Science Park Amsterdam:
"Broad new Programming Language: From Systems Programming to Declarative GIU Scripting" From scalable network servers to small mobile platforms such as Android and Raspberry Pi. Kaj will present a declarative GIU binding for GTK, and will touch some bindings for ZeroMQ and SQLite.
Amongst others, we expect students doing a master education in System and Network Engineering at the University of Amsterdam, as part of their colloquium.
