[Pharo-project] [ANN] Pharo Release 1.2.1
by Adrian Lienhard April 7, 2011

April 7, 2011

The Pharo Project is proud to announce the release of Pharo 1.2.1, the third major release of this clean, innovative, open-source Smalltalk environment. Static URL for this ANN: http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download/release-1-2-1 French translation: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/Pharo12FrenchAnnouncement * Update #12345 On Tuesday, March 29th 2011, update #12345 was issued to Pharo's 1.2 development line, a line that started back in June 2010 and was frozen in January 2011. Next, Pharo's continuous integration machinery successfully started building various artifacts based on this 'Pharo Core 1.2', the most important one being 'Pharo 1.2' proper, the full featured development image. Pharo Core 1.2.1 passes 7.836 unit tests, Pharo 1.2.1 no less than 10.760. A large, international community of developers worked hard for several months to iron out all problems and to make Pharo compatible with various Smalltalk libraries and frameworks, among them Seaside 3.0.3 which passes its 1.599 tests. * Pharo Core Changes True to the Pharo philosophy, this release contains numerous small changes, refactorings, cleanups and bugfixes improving the overall quality. Important changes include: â Cleaned the Pluggable hierarchy â Added new undo framework â Cleaned Morph and PasteUpMorph â Added DummyUIManager, a UIManager for operating without a UI â Added NewTextMorph â Removed left overs from MVC: PopUpMenu, SelectionMenu and CustomMenu â Cleaned Utilities, Preferences and TheWorldMenu â Included SimpleMorphic preview â Removing empty classes â Added new TextEditor and SmalltalkEditor â Added new, clean and simple Glamorous, Glamorous Orange GUI Themes â Added new Pro GUI Theme â Added Cog compliant behavior â Added better blocks debugging â Better support for separating SmalltalkImage and SystemDictionary â Fixed package dependencies, providing a good platform for kernel images â Removed old JIT experiments â Migrated to MethodReferenceWithSource and friends â Added more pages under the Help system â Improved the number of commented classes â New Finder tool (replacing Messages Names and Method Finder) â New Recent Changes tool (replacing Recent Submissions) â Improved SpaceTally â Fixed pointer finders tools â Integrated SUnit 4 Started Continuous Integration: use Hudson/Jenkins to automatically build images, run tests, and compile VMs For the Core 1.2 Image development line, 693 issues were resolved. * Pharo Changes The full featured Pharo development image is built automatically by loading the Metacello configuration aptly called ConfigurationOfPharo. Important changes include: â Updated to latest Metacello and all configurations used to use symbolic versions â New tools: Metacello Configuration Browser, Memory Monitor, and Autotest â Updated versions of Shout, RoelTyper, OCompletion, OmniBrowser, AutomaticMethodCategorizer, RefactoringBrowsers, Nile, ProfStef â Added XML-Support, and more Help â Removed NewInspector For the Full Dev 1.2 Image development line, 57 issues were resolved. * Downloads: see http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download * Success Stories Pharo has a large user base spread all over the world. Hence there is a growing collection of success stories (www.pharo-project.org/about/success-stories) projects using Pharo that choose to go public with this. Recently, the following were added: DrGeo - an award winning interactive geometry application also used for teaching primary and secondary level students Issys Tracking - a workflow platform to support authorization procedures for the medical practice for a large social organization/health insurance in Argentina Inceptive's Custom ERP - an application for the event planning and resource management administration of a large cultural centre in Flanders __________________________ www.adrian-lienhard.ch twitter.com/adrianlienhard

[Pharo-project] Issue 3957 in pharo: MethodWrappers left method after uninstall
by pharo＠googlecode.com April 6, 2011

April 6, 2011

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 3957 by lem...(a)gmail.com: MethodWrappers left method after uninstall http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3957 Pharo image: Pharo 1.2.1 Latest update: #12345 Virtual machine used: 'Croquet Closure Stack VM [StackInterpreter VMMaker-oscog-IgorStasenko.54]' Class browser used (if applicable): OB Steps to reproduce: 1. create a new class, example Foo 2. install a method wrapper on Foo, on a selector non defined locally. 3. uninstall the method wrapper. 4. now you have the method defined locally, with the inherited behavior. Example: | a | a := ObjectAsMethodWrapper on: Foo selector: #hash. a install. a uninstall. Now you have a hash method on Foo, that should not be there. One solution is to add something like this to the install code: (self wrappedClass localSelectors includes: self selector) ifTrue: [needCleanUp := false.] ifFalse: [needCleanUp := true]. And this to the uninstall code: needCleanUp ifTrue: [self wrappedClass removeSelector: self selector]

Hi, I want to analyze some Smalltalk code in a collection of Monticello packages without actually loading these packages in the image. Can I use the Refactoring Browser for this? Jan.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Pharo 1.2.1. Setup for Win32 (including CogVM)
by Torsten Bergmann April 6, 2011

April 6, 2011

Hi, now that Pharo 1.2.1. is available on the website I've also updated the Win32 Setup. You can grab it here: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28467/setup_pharo1.2.1-12345-relea… Compared to the one click (26MB) this download is only 13MB in size and provides better windows integration. So if you are on Windows you can use this Whats new: ========== - Pharo 1.2.1.#12345 is included - Cog VM is included (CogVM VM.r2378) with a custom CogVM/Pharo icon Maybe Adrian is able to change: http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download to point to the new executable.

[Pharo-project] Draft Pharo 1.2.1 Release Announcement
by Sven Van Caekenberghe April 6, 2011

April 6, 2011

I have a draft for a release announcement for Pharo 1.2.1 http://homepage.mac.com/svc/Pharo/pharo-1.2.1-release.html [ THIS IS A DRAFT !! - DO NOT YET RELEASE ] Please check this for errors and omissions, I will try to integrate the remarks tomorrow. Please check the links as well. I tried to stick with the basics, as one could write about so much (introducing Pharo Smalltalk and its features could be useful, but is quite challenging; everything loaded into dev could be described, and so on). I am sure I am not doing justice to all efforts by everybody, please give feedback. To give it a little twist, I started with a little 'story' called 'Update #12345', maybe it is to geeky, but it felt like a good angle to cover the basics about the process and the time spent. The most useful raw material was this http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/ActionsInPharoOneDotTwo It feels as if more could be said about Dev. I also tried to stick with just a simple screenshot, I could come up with more complicated ones, but we cannot put everything on one screenshot. Sven
