[Pharo-project] Iliad 0.8.1 released
by Nicolas Petton May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

Hi, We just released Iliad 0.8.1. This is a bug fix release with small improvements. Especially, we fixed an annoying bug related with session expiration, and improved Formula with global conditions and errors. The Comet API changed a bit too, you can read a blog post about it: http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/nico/iliad-applications-comet We also removed all hard-coded javascript generated in HTML pages. The javascript layer is now entirely responsible for automatic AJAX. We encourage everyone using Iliad 0.8 to upgrade to 0.8.1. - GNU Smalltalk There are now 2 git repositories and GNU Smalltalk projects, one for the stable branch and another one for the development branch. gst-package --download iliad -t ~/.st #latest stable release gst-package --download iliad-dev -t ~/.st #development branch The git repository for the stable branch can be browsed at: http://github.com/NicolasPetton/iliad-stable - Pharo Pharo users can install Iliad 0.8.1 with Metacello as explained on this page: http://www.iliadproject.org/pages/Download/Squeak-Pharo-port Cheers, Nico

[Pharo-project] Preparing Pharo-Core for i18n framework
by Hilaire Fernandes May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

To be compatible with the gettext package I have pushed in Inbox Collection-Strings and System-Localization changes. After the changes, NaturalLanguageTranslator becomes in core a dummy class responding to two dummy messages. This dummy class is later replaced by the real one when the developer loads the gettext package String>>translate reflect this change. I really don't know how to load these two package in Pharo without breaking the image. The only possibility I see is to first hand edit String>>translated to respond self, then load System-Localisation and Collection-String from Inbox. Tiny hand edit. We should get this tiny changes in as the Seaside people seems to need it as well. Hilaire

[Pharo-project] VMs for Pharo 1.1
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

Hi folks. We are moving on and we need to update VMs for Pharo 1.1. I would like to know the status of each platform and where to get them: Windows: I remember a new version 4.1 or similar that Andreas did. I remember there was a problem with the windows closing or similar...but I remember Torsten fixed that. Is that integrated in Pharo ? We are able to use that VM ? Torsten, where can I get a Pharo 1.1 Windows VM ? does it include FreeType ? can you update the splash if necessary ;) Linux: It would be cool to use a new vm, build form scratch. Laurent, I know this seems to be easy now. Is there any current/known problem ? where can I get a working vm with all the gnufication code and FreeType ? How is the speed finally in compare to other vms ? Mac: John, I am not sure which VM we should use for Pharo 1.1. Can you give us a hint ? known problems ? does it include freetype ? The idea (actually, just my opinion) is to upload these "latests" and Pharo 1.1 candidate vms to the website so that we can start to test. Soon (thanks a lot to Alexandre Bergel) we will be able to release a first unstable Pharo 1.1. Cheers Mariano

[Pharo-project] object that create other objects [meta-object]?
by magique poter May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

Hello, First sorry for my bad english. I will try to be understandable:) I have a problem that is, I think, enouth interesting (and difficult to found responses on the web) to post here. I hope somebody will understand it, and point my attention to some keywords, or web links. Here is my interrogation: - in smaltalk, everything is object, - i create classes whith the browser (an object), - then there are objects in smalltalk that create classes. Question: - What are the keywords, the technologies I will have to deal with to create that kind of objetcts (object that create classes that I can then initialize to create instances)? - After lot of search, the thing I want to create seams to be a meta-object. But how do we do in practice? - Do you have some books to recommand to understand this programming practice? Thanks in advance. Best regards

If you load "ScriptManager-Help-tbn.1.mcz" from http://www.squeaksource.com/ScriptManager afterwards and reopen the HelpBrowser you will also get a short introduction to ScriptManager. It's not yet in the ConfigurationOfHelpSystem. Bye T. -- GRATIS fÃ¼r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT! Jetzt freischalten unter http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/maxdome01

[Pharo-project] New packages to include in PharoDev 1.1
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 12, 2010

May 12, 2010

Hi folks. We need to think if we want new packages for PharoDev 1.1. For the moment, we think in adding: - Packages from http://www.squeaksource.com/PharoNonCorePackages - ScriptManager - WorkingSet or Algernon - I don't agree, but people wanted also FFI - ProfStefBrowser In PharoDev 1.0 we assure all tests were green. Now we want the same. Some of the above packages not even have tests or have failing/error. Some of them, not even load in Pharo 1.1 because of the underscore assignment. Ok, this can be easily fixed. The same with the TheWorldMenu and Preferences, etc... I will be clear: I am asking you your opinion, but we need someone to do it. If everybody want, but nobody do, those packages won't be included. is there something else you think it should be added ? Cheers Mariano
