I also checked on Linux, and it works fine there too. To be honest I can't recall what we changed to fix this, so if anyone runs into this problem again please reopen the issue. Dave

I suggested a couple of times to update the download link of the Mac vm of the website to 4.2.4. Adrian, can we do this?

Re: [Pharo-project] pharo and stand along GUI projects

by Richard Durr

Since single-fullwindow apps like garageband, finalcut, aperture et al. are all very well accepted, a single-fullwindow app based on pharo sounds possible.

Re: [Pharo-project] issue 2512 - PNG Tests failure

by Peter Hugosson-Miller

Hmmm, weren't these the tests that failed in 1.0 if you ran all the tests in one go? I know they were in the neighbourhood anyway, since I spent some time trying to chase them down, and recognise those method names from then. Maybe Torsten knows a bit more about them, since he was the one that put me on the trail... -- Cheers, Peter 2010/6/5 Fabrizio Perin <fabrizio.perin(a)gmail.com> > http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2512 > > the following tests fail: > > PNGReadWriterTest>>testPngEncodingColors32 > PNGReadWriterTest>>testPngDecodingColors32 > > They were both green in Pharo 1.0.

[Pharo-project] issue 2512 - PNG Tests failure

by Fabrizio Perin

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2512 the following tests fail: PNGReadWriterTest>>testPngEncodingColors32 PNGReadWriterTest>>testPngDecodingColors32 They were both green in Pharo 1.0. Also the current implementation of PNGReadWriterTest class has been file in into the last Squeak trunk image and they are green. So the last modifications on the the PNG package cause those methods fail. Cheers, Fabrizio
