An update of http.stream Reggae class has beeen released. Read more...

Good job!

looking forward to a class that can load datatypes to balance the lack of "native" reggae codecs.

I use my Pegasos mainly for DesktopPublishing (with Pagestream) but I'm interested in everything about new possebillities though I'm not an advanced user.
My question is (I can't find this in the readme of Reggae): What 's the use of Reggae. I've installed the package but didn't experienced any difference.

regards Tom

As a user you wont see any difference. But as developer - you will. For example you can download file from network with 3 lines of code, and if say it's audio file then you add 3 more lines and you can listen to that file. No need to know anything about socket api or ahi - just connect streams, call some methods and it's automagicaly done

so why not using raggae API for networking and multimedia display in sputnik ?

You can learn more about Reggae here.

And where did i wrote that i'm not using that? Although network layer must be changed sometime in the future (or http.stream must be extended) to support also secure connections. And images display layer using reggae is also here, but they are waiting for more formats support (so far reggae can only handle bmp, winicon, and there's also non-public png decoder).

go krashan, go... (for api extension :) )

and to anyone having the competence, it's perhaps time to develop for/to reggae (new image decoders are needed..jpeg and gif mainly now)

so far reggae can only handle bmp, winicon, and there's also non-public png decoder

Today it also have started to handle PBM images. Release next week.

Hmm, I've done it a bit faster. For now only NetPBM type "P4" images are recognized and decoded (monochrome images binary encoded, *.pbm). I will add the rest of NetPBM subformats in a couple of days. Details here.
