[Pharo-project] [ANN] Last SqueakDBX release and news!
by Mariano Martinez Peck March 18, 2011

March 18, 2011

Hi folks. We just wanted to let you know that we released SqueakDBX 1.3, which is a minor release with some bugfixes, code clean up, and integration of some functionality that others developed. For more details about this small release please check: http://www.squeakdbx.org/ChangeLog As you may know, ESUG sponsored once again SqueakDBX. However, this is the last release of SqueakDBX with this name. The project was finally renamed to DBXTalk, since we can reuse the class prefix ;) joke. For the moment we are starting to work in a new repository, but this is just for us. You, as developer, right now, have to use the repository and configuration as always. Just forget about DBXTalk for now ;) Cheers SqueakDBX team

[Pharo-project] Smalltalk in CS1
by Dave Mason March 18, 2011

March 18, 2011

For the non-NorthAm types, CS1 is the intro programming course in most Computer Science programs. There is a survey currently running that was advertised through ACM SIGCSE, about CS1 courses. The survey does not include Smalltalk as a possible answer to the language of use, but that doesn't matter because nobody filled it in under "Other" either. Wow. That surprised me. The survey is still open, and only ~105 responses so far, but I'm still surprised. You can see the interim results at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/sr.aspx?sm=sdFO8U2TPeO3klLW7aM97cE6dq1Gg4bO1xWY… I think this reinforces the current thread on promoting of Smalltalk, and suggests another front on which we need to work. ../Dave

[Pharo-project] GSOC 2010 results
by Torsten Bergmann March 18, 2011

March 18, 2011

While reading about the last GSOC 2010 at: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2010-esug/downloads/list I wonder what happened to the results. Are they just available to play with them in private. Or will Pharo/the overall Smalltalk community profit from them since they can be usefull for the next step. Therefore especially two questions: 1. Is the Namespace code conceptually the one we want to have for Pharo and if so are there any plans to integrate it (Pharo 1.3/1.4./... ?) 2. Is the code from Cross-Dialect Smalltalk FFI ready or what is the state/strategy for Alien/FFI these days. Thx T. -- GMX DSL Doppel-Flat ab 19,99 Euro/mtl.!

As you may have read, ESUG is sponsoring once again SqueakDBX, but we renamed it to DBXTalk. But this is still private, broken, and we are developing there. YOU must stay using SqueakDBX repository, with the Metacello configurations in MetacelloRepostirory...like if nohing had happened ;) Once DBXTalk is ready, we will let you know.

[Pharo-project] Issue 3785 in pharo: WeakOrderedCollection from Squeak required for Magma on Pharo 1.2 and 1.3
by pharo＠googlecode.com March 18, 2011

March 18, 2011

Status: Accepted Owner: miguel.c...(a)gmail.com Labels: Milestone-1.3 New issue 3785 by miguel.c...(a)gmail.com: WeakOrderedCollection from Squeak required for Magma on Pharo 1.2 and 1.3 http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3785 This is a extraction of the changes of Collections-cmm.404.mcz Collections-cmm.404.mcz from http://source.squeak.org/trunk/ that add WeakOrderedCollection to the system. Modifies OrderedCollection in order to have a uniform way to create ordered collections (weak and normal). For Pharo 1.2 that is in freeze right now, it will be managed as a dependency in the ConfigurationOfMagma on a mcz with the said changes in PharoTaskForces (or maybe included in PharoCore 1.2.1?) For Pharo 1.3 the changes should be integrated in Pharo Core, for compatibility with Squeak.
