[Pharo-project] getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution
by Damien Cassou April 26, 2009

April 26, 2009

When building the dev image often prints the following error message in the console where I launched the VM: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution this also opens a debugger. I just have to click 'restart' then 'proceed' and it works fine. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st

[Pharo-project] Squeak mac carbon VM 4.1.0b1 goes out.
by John M McIntosh April 25, 2009

April 25, 2009

I've placed it in the usual places via http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html 4.1.0b1 has a number of changes that impact users of older images and non-pharo users. As you know the different VMs have been moving towards supplying file/directory information and providing clipboard support for UTF-8. So today is the day to move forward by making UTF-8 the default, rather than optional. (a) I have altered the Info.plist to say file/directory names are UTF-8. If your image does not contain fixes for the file browser, or having MC being UTF-8 aware then you will have issues with file names that contain accented characters. These can be files in the same directory as the file you are interested in since the squeak file directory logic iterates over the directory contents for some operations. (b) The clipboard changes from macroman to UTF8, again you may require fixes in order to successfully copy/paste accented characters to/from the application. (c) The UTF8 for the clipboard required linking the powerpc binary with Apple's 10.4 SDK versus 10.3. I have not tested if the VM will run and have clipboard support on 10.2 or 10.3 systems. If you rely on a 10.2 or 10.3 system you should confirm if it works, or if it fails. If someone can confirm if there is a problem I will look into providing a workaround. **********I note in Pharo copying "CaÃ±o del dÃa" from the Finder to a method didn't really work the way I thought it would, however it didn't throw a UTF-8 input error. Likely someone on the Pharo team should do some cross checking for me ******* -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Aida/Web 6.0 second beta is out!
by Janko MivÅ¡ek April 25, 2009

April 25, 2009

Dear Smalltalkers, That time with a considerable more fresh meat and on both Squeak+friends and VisualWorks, a second beta of Aida/Web 6.0 web framework and application server is released. To download it visit our renewed website http://www.aidaweb.si With that beta we also changed the direction: now the 6.0 won't be just a companion of Scribo CMS but a standalone release with support of tree-like control flow, so that this release will really deserve a major number jump from 5.6 to 6.0. Here are just 3 most important new features in that beta: 1.Introduction of web execution contexts as a step towards tree-like control flow. These contexts give a scope to the "execution" of web request and are the precondition for controlling this flow of execution. 2.Translation support for text on the web apps, to allow the multilingual text on the pages, besides multilingual content, 3.Caching (memcached like) to improve performance of serving the content, which otherwise doesn't change frequently. But much more in release notes: http://www.aidaweb.si/release-notes-6.0.html Best regards Janko MivÅ¡ek -- Janko MivÅ¡ek AIDA/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si

Hi! b := x confirm: [:a | (a >= 1) & (a <= 4)]. Fails in Pharo. Buggy in 3.10 ... hmmm, perhaps there should be better unit tests ... Is there any unit test out there, which tests for language conformity? regards, Guido Stepken

Dear All, Are there any of you who already used the backporting function of Monticello? It has been there for several years already. Enough time to prove its usefulness.
