Not all that exciting, but good to know what they're doing:

It is good to know, and I didn't, so thanks for passing that on! I see they're finally stealing Python's version numbering scheme <wink>. In other news, I just noticed that REBOL threw 1st-class continuations *out* of the language, leaving just the "escape up the current call chain" exception-handling (throw/catch) kind. This isn't an open project, so it's hard to second-guess why. Or easy, depending on how you look at it <wink>. i-suggest-looking-at-it-the-right-way-ly y'rs - tim
