Pharo 9 released - a brief experience report
First, great work and thanks to all contributors.
Using macOS Big Sur version 11.4 on MacBook Air 2019...
-
In a new sub-directory "pharo9" (I was using a pharo8 directory, so
pharo9 is to keep things separate). In pharo9, I used "curl -L
https://get.pharo.org/64/ | bash" to get the latest release. Then I
ran ./pharo-ui to start Pharo. Very strangely, it was able to present
my pharo8 images to choose for opening. I quit without choosing any
image, then went looking to find out how it was able to find the
settings. In the course of that, I realized the default download had
got me the 8.0 release. -
Then I used "curl https://get.pharo.org/90+wm | bash". The image
came up with a strange looking dialog across the top that indicated
freetype font lib's could not be loaded. I just proceeded and was able
to navigate somewhat. The Settings for fonts were completely absent. I
kept browsing, but more freetype font problems kept appearing. -
I then compared the dylib's in the pharo-vm (what I had in pharo8)
vs. what I just got in pharo9 - very different lists. I copied the
libfreetype.6.dylib, libfreetype.dylib, and libFT2Plugin.dylib files
to the new vm, and then the Pharo9 image came up nicely. -
I thought I was home free, and continued browsing. I happened to
look at the Pillar-Core code, and I got "Cannot locate
libcairo.2.dylib". Browsing a few other places did not show this
problem. That's it for now. I will try a bit more later, but I'm going
back to Pharo8 for today.

Yes, this was due to my updates to zeroconf.
There was a missing update at https://get.pharo.org/64/ and https://get.pharo.org/32.
I’ve fixed these and wrote an issue to automate this in the future https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-zeroconf/issues/34

Pablo has updated the VMs just some minutes ago, so these issues should be resolved.
Thanks again! :)

Thanks for updating the release.
I’ve downloaded again using “curl -L https://get.pharo.org/64/ |
bash”, and Pharo 9.0.0 came up without problem.
BTW, I noticed that the vm it downloaded today, was:
http://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo-vm-Darwin-x86_64-stable.zip
Yesterday, when I poked around some more, I decided to download:
https://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo64-mac-headless-latest.zip
which looked to be newest available.
It mostly worked, but I got some debuggers when trying the Spec and
Spec2 examples (and even saw the dreaded pane with the X, which I’ve
not seen in years). With today’s clean update, I only got one debugger
for the Spec “Buttons” example. (Stack trace below).

Hi Yanni,
Now vms are organised by architecture.
The link to get the lastest vm for Darwin x86_64 is now
https://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo-vm-Darwin-x86_64-latest.zip
Otherwise, we recommend using zeroconf or the pharo launcher, as they detect your machine’s architecture and download the right thing for you regardless of the link.
Cheers,
G
