Re: [Pharo-project] Keymapping & OB conflict (was Re: Chasing Browsers)

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

What I would like to see happening is that - keymapping is used / integrated in Pharo 1.4 - then that OB can be loaded on top of Pharo. Remember we are not against OB we just do not have the knowledge to maintain it. So if lukas gets OB working for 1.4 beta then we will probably include in Pharo. Now if OB is working for 1.4 only three months after 1.4 is released then we will not include it.

[Pharo-project] [TODO 1.4] Issues tagged 1.4

by Marcus Denker

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=2&q=milestone=1.4 - All issues "FixReviewNeeded" needs to be looked at and reviewed. Does it fix the bug (or for an improvement: is this good? Do you want it in the release? - All issues "NoSourcesAvailable" do have fixes, but described in wonderful prose. ("change the third character of the second line.." (nearly...). The idea here is that it's far far far far easier to look at things that one can just load in the system as opposed to solve a textual riddle first. yes, it's trivial... but it's amazing how the triviality between "machine readable code" and "textual description for a human to parse" changes how long an issue is not looked at.

[Pharo-project] Cleaning up SmartRefStream use

by Marcus Denker

Hi, We should minimize the use of SmartRefStream... so we can remove it eventually. I already did a little bit (e.g. removing BitmapStreamTests). These are the next steps: Issue 5081: Remve Morph saving to file/loading http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5081 Anyone needs this? Issue 5084: Remove textStyle FileOut http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5084 Is this used? Strange corner of the system... lots of dead code. Issue 5083: remove unused methods from SmartRefStream http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5083 Towards removing it alltogether. -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

I do not know but this is really not a problem to have a event group class we can discarded in no time. So I would not bother with it.

Re: [Pharo-project] [ANN] Eclipse Icons for Pharo

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Esteban I know that feeling :) :) Now I'm not sure that I would like to carry the Eclipse License around in Pharo :) What are the other icons sets we could use with a nice license and we do it :). famfam? We should clean also the old icons because some are really old. Thanks for pushing that. I would love to have new icons for Pharo.

I personnaly don't like each of them, but these icons form a big, consistent set and make a good modernization of the UI. We should take this as a start and go over all missing ones, and maybe add a few unique once. Thanks. Sven
