(I changed the date format of this mails to something that is clear also in north america :) ) No much change since last week, with one task entering short term goals (in bold) and the rest unchanged (there was movement... just none of the tasks was finished :P). Short-term goals: - Improve integration infrastructure for Spec2 and NewTools frameworks. - Improve quality and quantity of tests in Spec2 and NewTools frameworks. - Improve quality of class comments in Spec2 framework. - Since we are in freeze mode: fixing important bugs on Pharo9 and its components (this issue will stay here until release). - include M1 in PharoLauncher Medium-term goals: - Removal of GTTools - M1 VM release. - Release 9.0 ## Last week - working on infrastructure (github actions and improving baselines and merge). - Some enhancements to SpApplication (UI interactions), SpCodePresenter - Added more tests to StInspector - merged Spec2 0.9.13 (lots of improvements, see https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec/releases/tag/v0.8.13) - Pablo was working on improvements in the Test Runner and some experiments for future work on GC. - Guille was working on profiling (a time consuming task, pun intended ;)) and metalinks - Christophe is back and resuming the work on PharoLauncher (command line) - Marcus was sketching some future clean ups and refactors (for Pharo 10) and as always, processing PRs :) ## This week - finish a pass on NewTools (v0.6.6) - start a clean up pass on Spec - improve testing of NewTools (Infrastructure in general, StInspector if time). - Resume plans for Pakbot (old Cargo)
