So, this is it. The short term goals are now full of Pharo 9 release tasks, meaning we finished most of the technical issues remaining for the release: The M1 VM is available (and working in zeroconf), a new version of Pharo Launcher is ready to be unveiled all showstopper bugs fixed. Of course, that means more short term goals will emerge (but for next week!).
As a consequence, a new medium term goal has arrived: We want to do a new iteration on the Pharo process, attempting to improve the release cycle and the general way we work.

Short-term goals:

  • Release 9
  • Release Pharo Launcher for Pharo 9
  • Release Zeroconf for Pharo 9

Medium-term goals:

  • Review Pharo 10 process
  • Removal of GTSpotter
  • Removal of remaining GTTools

Long-term goals:

  • Removal of Glamour
  • Removal if Spec1
  • Migration of Calypso to Spec2

Last week

  • last bits on Spec2 leaks fixing
  • fixed some issues in iceberg.
  • work on zeroconf (supporting ARM)
  • make Open Build Service ready for Pharo 9
  • Pharo Launcher ready for Pharo 9 release (including new P9 urls and M1 support)

This week

  • prepare Pharo 9 release (announcements, reviewing site, final bugs, etc.)
  • prepare Pharo Launcher for Pharo 9 release
  • prepare Zeroconf for Pharo 9 release
  • work on Pharo 9 by example
