Hi, this is an announcement of a new release of the Pharo VM. This new version is available to be downloaded through get-pharo scripts and through the Pharo Launcher. From the Pharo Launcher, remember to update the VM from the VM manager window.

This version includes a series of improvements:

  • Unification of code base with the headless VM
  • Preparation for supporting HDPI displays.
  • Improvements in the speed of Threaded FFI (40x times faster in SameThread runner and 2x in Threaded worker).
  • Better handling of semaphores
  • Improvements in the loading of large images (better buffering)
  • Better support for headless execution on non-main thread

Please let me know if you find any issues.

Cheers, Pablo

Cool!! :)

I just updated the launcher and got by default the new headless!!

Just as a reminder, to update the launcher, you can go to the VM manager clicking on the VMs button, and update (e.g.) the 90-x64 vm

After update, the VM should have today’s date.

Cheers, G

Kapersky did not like updating Pharo Launcher  ... specifically vms\90-x64\PharoConsole.exe which it quarantined and promptly deleted  (Object name: VHO:Exploit.Win32.Agent.gen)

Any idea what's going on?

Hi Tom,

Pharo Launcher downloads VMs as a zip archive (HTTP GET) and then extract it to the desired path. Probably Kaspersky puts a flag on files downloaded from the web until you explicitly give your approbation that it is not a malicious software. Maybe you can configure Kaspersky to whitelist Pharo Launcher downloads? Check https://support.kaspersky.com/KAV/2020/en-us/68499.htm , sections On all websites except those specified /  <>Manage exclusions <>

Regards, Christophe.

Is this new VM available for Linux? I only see Windows and Mac VMs that are dated 2020-11-02. In the launcher (launcher 2.2, still the latest AFAICT) refreshing the 90-x64 VM just re-downloads the one from 2020-02-11.

Thanks, -Martin

Hi Martin, yes, it is true. I have to rollback the change because it was a compatibility issue with Debian 9.11, and this version is the one used by Jenkins docker images. I will do a release as soon as I can fix it. I want to push OBS to the last step to be productive. There is a lot of work on that and we need to profit it. The headless VM in Linux has been updated to the latest and that one has not been rollbacked.
