Re: [Pharo-project] Replacing 'ReadStream on smth:' by 'smth readStream'

Stef, My email server crashed yesterday and was out of action for several hours. From emails I found this morning, it looks like Damien and I will cook up a plan on the Wiki. With luck, we will be able to get the RB to do the tedious work, and also leave a simple defined procedure for converting "old" code that we did not have loaded during the transformation. Transformed code should work as it always did; new code will be able to benefit from consistent semantics and exception handling. There will also be silently truncating methods for the situations (and they indeed exist) that call for them. More to come. Bill Wilhelm K.

This is why I would like you guys to tell us what you want to do (or are doing) so that we can document the changes and everybody can participate and help also fixing if necessary. I just want more organized communication when we have a "big" change. No more.

[Pharo-project] [ANN][Pharo-dev] First release
by Damien Cassou June 1, 2008

June 1, 2008

Hi, I've published the first version of Pharo-dev. It is hosted on gforge as usual: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299. I will try to generate new pharo-dev images when I generate squeak-dev images if anyone is interested. Are you?

[Pharo-project] Resent messages?
by Bill Schwab June 1, 2008

June 1, 2008

Hello all, Did some messages get posted more than once? It beats losing them, but leaves me wondering whether it is my goofy email server or something about the list conversion. FWIW. Bill Wilhelm K.
