[ANN] Pharo 12 Release !
Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers:
We have released Pharo https://pharo.org/ version 12!
What is Pharo?
Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful
environment focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.
- Simple & powerful language: No constructors, no types declaration,
no interfaces, no primitive types. Yet a powerful and elegant
language with a full syntax fitting in one postcard! Pharo is
objects and messages all the way down. - Live, immersive environment: Immediate feedback at any moment of
your development: Developing, testing, debugging. Even in production
environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying
steps again! - Amazing debugging experience: Pharo environment includes a debugger
unlike anything you've seen before. It allows you to step through
code, restart the execution of methods, create methods on the fly,
and much more! - Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more
than 100 contributors for the last revision of the platform and
hundreds of people constantly contributing with frameworks and
libraries. - Fully open-source: Pharo full stack is released under MIT
https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT License and available on
GitHub https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo
... more on the Pharo Features page http://www.pharo.org/features.
In this iteration of Pharo, we continue working on our objectives of
improvement, clean-up and modularization. Also, we included a number of
usability and speed improvements. A complete list of changes and
improvements is available in our Changelog
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo120ChangeLogs.md
Some highlights of this amazing version:
Highlights
New breakpoint system
The debug point system is a breakpoint model that supersedes the
previous implementation of breakpoints and watchpoints. They are
configurable, composable, and extensible. The traditional breakpoints
remain available, including conditional breakpoints, one-time
breakpoints, and object-centric breakpoints. Additionally, there are new
types of breakpoints, such as chained-breakpoints, which condition the
activation of certain breakpoints on the triggering of others (e.g.,
breakpoint B only activates if breakpoint A is hit first). Debug points
also feature a dedicated browser and integration options.
Tools
-
Scalable fluid class syntax is now the default one
-
Preparing the introduction of the Bloc graphic system by migrating
more tools to Spec2 widgets -
Spec2 UI framework enhancements to support GTK 4
-
Leaner version of the Metacello package manager
-
More robust and strict mode for FFI
System
-
New architecture for refactorings and domain specific transformations
-
Code loading speed improvement
-
Fast browsing via fully optimized package tags
-
Optmized memory usage via optimized method protocols
-
Compiler simplifications and improvements
Virtual machine
-
Massive image support with permanent space
-
String/ByteArray comparison speed up
Development Effort
This new version is the result of 1895 Pull Requests integrated just in
the Pharo repository. We have closed 865 issues and received
contributions from more than 70 different contributors. We have also a
lot of work in the separate projects that are included in each Pharo
release:

We always say Pharo is yours. It is yours because we made it for you,
but most importantly because it is made by the invaluable contributions
of our great community (yourself). A large community of people from all
around the world contributed to Pharo 12.0 by making pull requests,
reporting bugs, participating in discussion threads, providing feedback,
and a lot of helpful tasks in all our community channels. Thank you all
for your contributions.

Check the canvas scale factor automatically settings and let us know

On my retina screen it makes a real difference.
And this should have been set as default.

Oh man - I've been waiting for that improvement for a few years now (and I had noticed that P13 looked miles better - so good to know we can feel the love in P12 too). Thanks for pointing it out.

"If you knew today was your last day on earth, what would you do differently? ....ESPECIALLY if, by doing something different, today might not be your last day on earth.” Calvin & Hobbes
Wow, impressive improvements!
Seems like „soon“ Bloc and Gtk could be on the same footing, and FFI improvements „never hurt anybody“.
The rest of the list is no less spectacular.
Probably more spectacular, but I’m constrained by platform requirements, so I can’t use interesting languages to „further the cause of evil“, so anything that smells like „better integration“ gives me shivers.
Thanks to everyone involved, keep on rocking ;-)

Subject: [Pharo-dev] [ANN] Pharo 12 Release !
Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers:
We have released Pharohttps://pharo.org/ version 12!
What is Pharo?
Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.
[https://pharo.org/news/Pharo12.png]
- Simple & powerful language: No constructors, no types declaration, no interfaces, no primitive types. Yet a powerful and elegant language with a full syntax fitting in one postcard! Pharo is objects and messages all the way down.
- Live, immersive environment: Immediate feedback at any moment of your development: Developing, testing, debugging. Even in production environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying steps again!
- Amazing debugging experience: Pharo environment includes a debugger unlike anything you've seen before. It allows you to step through code, restart the execution of methods, create methods on the fly, and much more!
- Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more than 100 contributors for the last revision of the platform and hundreds of people constantly contributing with frameworks and libraries.
- Fully open-source: Pharo full stack is released under MIThttps://opensource.org/licenses/MIT License and available on GitHubhttps://github.com/pharo-project/pharo
... more on the Pharo Features pagehttp://www.pharo.org/features.
In this iteration of Pharo, we continue working on our objectives of improvement, clean-up and modularization. Also, we included a number of usability and speed improvements. A complete list of changes and improvements is available in our Changeloghttps://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo120ChangeLogs.md
Some highlights of this amazing version:
Highlights
New breakpoint system
The debug point system is a breakpoint model that supersedes the previous implementation of breakpoints and watchpoints. They are configurable, composable, and extensible. The traditional breakpoints remain available, including conditional breakpoints, one-time breakpoints, and object-centric breakpoints. Additionally, there are new types of breakpoints, such as chained-breakpoints, which condition the activation of certain breakpoints on the triggering of others (e.g., breakpoint B only activates if breakpoint A is hit first). Debug points also feature a dedicated browser and integration options.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to play with Pharo12 so I downloaded it via the Zeroconf script (it seems to me more approachable than the Pharo Launcher).The script (curl -L https://get.pharo.org | bash) got everything for my machine (apple silicon). Now, if I run pharo via command line everything is working, but if I double click on Pharo.app and select the image file Pharo.image nothing happens.
Can you check that behavior, please?
