This release was tested against:

R3 Alpha does not support call/output so the execute (and sqlcmd) functions will not work with it.

I have written a tool to generate rebol 3 binding from c header files using libclang: https://github.com/zsx/c2r3. It includes a partial replicate of gtk3-demo for testing and demostration purpose.
To run tools in c2r3, you will need the latest development build from http://atronixengineering.com/downloads.html, because of new struct syntax.

If you are interested in Lest and want to try it without downloading, you can check it online at http://lest.qyz.cz/try.html (work in progress).

I have upgraded Red on Try REBOL to version 0.5.2. (Red 0.5.1 was skipped because it was broken for Try REBOL.)

No announcements recently, so here:
I have a number of employees/interns that want to learn Rebol 3, so I'm writing a step-by-step tutorial for them. I only have the home and intro pages done so far. Let me know what you think: http://video.respectech.com:8080/tutorial/r3/index.r3
I know that the Try-It Editor allows infinite loops and other things that can crash R3. However, I have disabled all the damaging functions like 'call, 'write, etc. so at least there's that. I'll soon be adding a timer to kill the Try-It process if it runs longer than a few seconds.

Bo
I've added another section to my Rebol 3 tutorial at http://video.respectech.com:8080/tutorial/r3/index.r3 called "R3 Nesting Functions". I believe that this is the area that confuses most users, so I hope that this section is understandable.
Please give me any feedback for improving it!

Bo
Also added another chapter to the Rebol 3 tutorial at http://video.respectech.com:8080/tutorial/r3/index.r3 called "R3 Objects".
Again, all feedback appreciated!

Bo
Added three more chapters to the Rebol 3 tutorial at  http://video.respectech.com:8080/tutorial/r3/index.r3 bringing the total to 13 chapters. Here's the current index:
R3 Home
R3 Introduction
R3 Words
R3 Help
R3 Function Help
R3 Blocks
R3 More Blocks
R3 Text Strings
R3 Nesting Functions
R3 Objects
R3 Intro to Parse
R3 Parse and Blocks
R3 Advanced Parse
Thanks to Brett Handley and John Kenyon for their permission to incorporate their excellent PARSE tutorial.
What topics do you think need to be covered next?
