[Pharo-project] dual changesorter
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Oct. 16, 2008

hi adrian the dual change sorter is better than the simple one (I never used that one) but a lot the other since it allows you to copy changes between cs. Stef

[Pharo-project] Removing the "Pharo" flap at the left?
by Adrian Lienhard Oct. 15, 2008

Oct. 15, 2008

I think we don't need this flap anymore. What it contains: - the current time (I already have one on my screen) - "load code updates" (is easy to find in the menu today, i.e. world- >System->Software update) - "about this system" (dito, i.e. world->System->About) - "change theme" (there is only one alternative left, which looks ugly) - A huge trash icon (this one we still need to remove EToys! ;)) Any objections?

Hi I found that the compiler accepts [:bool : method | method] which is strange to me. Stef

Please note that original Collections-nice.111 had the deprecated method (at least my local copy of it) SequenceableCollection>>startsWith: aCollection self deprecated: 'Use beginsWith:.'. ^self beginsWith: aCollection Maybe Stef was overzealous because I replaced two sole senders in base image (Service-Base-nice.38) ?

GATHER SEVERAL COLLECTION RELATED MANTIS TESTS AND FIXES ---------------------------------------- http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7172 CharacterSetComplement has spoiled previous byteArrayMap optimization. Using #byteArrayMap is an optimization per se, possibly tailored for tight loops. Taking too much time to compute this map is spoiling efficiency. It is necessary to cache this map for restoring efficiency to the level preceding introduction of CharacterSetComplement. ---------------------------------------- http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6998 ((String new: 1) at: 1 put: $a) = $a -> true. ((WideString new: 1) at: 1 put: $a) = $a -> false.
