Re: [Pharo-project] Cleaning WriteBarrier (as used in Magma)

by Chris Muller

Thanks, I will look for your updated WriteBarrier package to include with the next Magma. I have just copied my own latest WriteBarrier to the MagmaTester project of squeaksource. ------- Name: WriteBarrier-cmm.27 Author: cmm Time: 19 June 2010, 4:41:13.886 pm UUID: 84945d10-b0eb-419b-a6bc-2de227aac87a Ancestors: WriteBarrier-pmm.26 Removed PseudoContext extension for compatibility with Squeak 4.2+. ---------- WriteBarrier unfortunately doesn't work in either of Pharo or Squeak 4.1+. I am tempted to remove it from the suite altogether, but to do so would break backward compatibility with 3.9 who may be using WriteBarrier, because the implementation requires the handler (MaTransaction) to inherit from the WriteBarrier class itself.. :-( Thanks, Chris On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 4:44 AM, Torsten Bergmann <astares(a)gmx.de> wrote: > Hi Avi, > > how is life at Twitter ;) > > Would it be possible that you add me as a developer on > > http://www.squeaksource.com/WriteBarrier > > so I can clean up underscore assignment in the package. > > WriteBarrier is used in Magma (see ConfigurationOfMagma) > which is installable right from a workspace in the > upcoming Pharo 1.1 release.

Re: [Pharo-project] PluginBasedJPEGReadWriter anomaly

by Gary Chambers

Well, I get the same result when loading any JPEG (Windows VM 4.0.2). Easiest to just drag a JPEG image into the Pharo window and choose "open graphic in window". Distinctive top-left pixel (actually transparent now I investigate further) along with bad edge. To compare, change PluginBasedJPEGReadWriter>>understandsImageFormat to return false (will then use original JPEGReadWriter). Regards, Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: Eliot Miranda To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Cc: Gary Chambers Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2010 6:23 PM Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] PluginBasedJPEGReadWriter anomaly Hi Gary, 2010/7/6 Gary Chambers <gazzaguru2(a)btinternet.com> Hi all. Iv'e noticed a slight anomaly with the PluginBasedJPEGReadWriter when reading jpeg files (at least on Windows platforms). The upper left pixel appears to be white and the whole left-hand column of pixels have anomalous values. COuld you help me reproduce this case exactly? We had a crash a few weeks ago in te JPEG plugin but have not been able to find the data that reproduced it. Looks like you have a case which causes the plugin to behave incorrectly. So how do I run the plygin case and the non-plugin case side-by-side? TIA Eliot Attached, for reference, are screenshots when using the plugin, the original Smalltalk implementation and Windows picture viewer.

Re: [Pharo-project] should we move pharo to use webclient?

by GermÃ¡n Arduino

Yes! I used WebClient to experiment but also to a (little) commercial project and it works very well. As Sven said the code is quite readable/understandable/malleable and I would add, easy to extend. +1 to this idea of add it to Pharo.
