 That sounds good to me.  Things have been really quiet on the beta
 lately, so I think it's time to spin a release candidate.

 Hi All,
 
 
 I'm not sure where others think we are in relation to doing
 the 4.2.0 release.  I'm finished with everything I feel
 strongly about being in the release.
 
 
 Unless someone else has something they are still working on,
 or intend to work on, I'm thinking maybe we should update all
 the packages on SourceForge and call them the release
 candidate.  Then give it 10 days or 2 weeks and if no bugs are
 opened, do the release.
 
 
 Or ... ?

All -

I have uploaded all the *nix ooRexx 4.2.0 release candidates to
SourceForge. They should all be visible in a few minutes.

[Oorexx-devel] Announce: ooRexx 4.2.0 Release Candidate now available on SourceForge

2014-01-20 Thread Mark Miesfeld
The Open Object Rexx Project is happy to announce a release candidate for
ooRexx 4.2.0. The installation packages are available on SourceForge at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx/4.2.0%20%28release%20candidate%29/

ooRexx 4.2.0 is an enhancement and bug fix release.  The first new feature
release in some time.  There are a large number of new feature requests
that have been implemented in this release.  In addition, many reported
bugs have been fixed. Please read the CHANGES document for a list of the
bug tracker items fixed and the feature request tracker items that have
been implemented.

Unless more bug reports are posted, It is anticipated that the official
release of ooRexx 4.2.0 will be done in several weeks.  This is your last
chance to test that your ooRexx programs work well with the new version.

Please test the beta and report any issues uncovered on the SourceForge bug
tracker at:

https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/

The users of ooRexx are strongly urged to, at a minimum, run the Rexx
programs they use under the beta code.  All testing done by users of ooRexx
is highly appreciated and of great help.  This testing is one way for
ooRexx users to contribute back to the project.

Thank you,
The ooRexx Project Team

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Kedit utility - where to put it

 If I get time, I will write a rexx sample script to download all files
 from a directory from sourceforge into a subfolder in your download folder.
  Not sure how, I could use rexcurl, but perhaps one wouldn't want one of
 Mark's utilities as a dependency for an ooRexx sample (although that might
 be a good thing).  I could do it with ole  IE, but I'm not sure whether
 that would work on Linux.  Do you have thoughts?


Jon,

I have 2 thoughts

1.)  I can't believe that SourceForge intends for the snapshot feature to
work that way.  So, if we open a bug I think they will fix it.  It would be
a very cool feature if it did work.

https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/6552/

2.)  If we were to decide to allow / accept user contributions and actually
want ooRexx users to be able to get those contributions, it would be more
user friendly to have a section on the Files download page for them.

Currently the download page has:

Name   Modified
Totals: 10 Items
oorexx   14 hours ago
ooDialog2014-01-18
oorexx-docs 2013-12-09
ooSQLite2013-08-27
oorexxunit  2012-07-25
oorexx-buildutils   2010-08-18
RexxGTK 2009-11-01
OldFiles2009-07-17
windows-build-tools 2009-02-12
orxutils2006-09-15

I would suggest adding 1 more section:

user-contributions  2014-04-11

And under that section have sections for individual contributions.  I see
several things in the incubator that would be easier for ooRexx users to
access if they could be downloaded from the Files download pages.  They
could go under user-contributions:

decimalFormat
keditMacros
mod_oorexx
ooRexxShell
ZabrodskyAAT
