[Pharo-project] Multi-core Pharo?
by Oscar Nierstrasz Dec. 17, 2008

Dec. 17, 2008

Hi folks, Has anyone looked at the Qwac Hydra stuff? http://www.qwaq.com/HydraVM/ http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-February/125719… There was quite a lot of discussion on squeak-dev ast February, but not much since then. I would really love to see a multi-core Pharo. If someone has an idea how this could be done, I would be interested to learn more. I think getting Pharo to exploit multi-cores could be a big selling point in the future ... - on

[Pharo-project] Russification
by Dennis Schetinin Dec. 17, 2008

Dec. 17, 2008

Hi all! I'm trying to "localize" Pharo to be able to see and to type in russian letters. After (already many) hours I have no progress. Here details go... What I use: SmalltalkImage current vmVersion 'Squeak3.9 of 7 November 2006 [latest update: #7067]' "About Squeak on Win32" 'Squeak 3.10.6 (release) from Aug 30 2007' Size of Squeak.exe is 985600 bytes... pharo0.1-10193dev08.12.2.image bunch of DLLs new VM including freetype6.dl So far I see windows fonts in preferences. Now I try Locale switchToID: (LocaleID isoLanguage: 'ru'). This throws an exception in StrikeFont class >> setupDefaultFallbackFont (no #Accuat #Accujen #Accula etc. in the system). I just comment that out and go on. An exception in PainBoxMorph class >> localeChanged. The same 'decision'. So far, locale seems to be russian... Then I change fonts to one from windows (I tried Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman). After that I open workspace (having font there changed) and 'print it': file := MultiByteFileStream fileNamed: 'c:\Home\chaetal\Work\Pharo\russian\russian.txt'. [file contents] ensure: [file close]. (where russian.txt is UTF-8 file with russian text). This gives me a bunch of question marks... :( Switching on 'useLocale' preference gives a bit different locale id ('ru-RU') but the test with russian file still fails. I also tried to start Pharo with '-encoding UTF-8 -textenc UTF-8' keys. Than it simply hangs... Advices at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5773 don't help either... Thank you for help in advance... I've heard there's new VM? Where can I get it? -- Dennis Schetinin

[Pharo-project] Website remarks
by Damien Cassou Dec. 16, 2008

Dec. 16, 2008

I really like the website. You should try not to offend the Squeak community. For the download page, you should change the link to make it point to the google code downloads page instead of gforge. There is no syntax highlighting on the screenshot. On the Organization page, you should add links to the License and mailing list pages. MailingList is written without a space on the Community page. You can copy/past the FAQ page from http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/FAQ Bye -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st

Hi guys We will not do a public announce besides this one. pharo-project.org and pharoproject.org now point to the cmsbox site... We won't announce it, just slowly continue to improve it as we go along. But the web site for pharo is going public - still a bit beta. Thanks to samuel for the his cool design and Mike/Michael and Mathias Berth for their help http://www.pharo-project.org Stef, Marcus, Adrian
