[Pharo-project] Plan for releases: after 1.4 I propose that we do a stabilization release
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Aug. 28, 2011

Aug. 28, 2011

Hi guys I was thinking about our process and I was thinking that it would be good to have a release where we only focus on bugs and regression testing. So what I see is that for 1.4 we will have FS Nautilus OPAL SystemAnnouncement (may be RPackage) Ring So this will be a lot. So we could have 1.5 where we take the time to let the bugs popping up and get fixed. We would concentrate also on external packages and libraries like a UIBuilder. Bootstrap. I'm not sure that the proposed idea may work but we should give a try. Stef

[Pharo-project] #name
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 27, 2011

Aug. 27, 2011

How is #name used by the system? I often want to use it in my classes, but I don't want to mess with whatever Object is doing with it. There are +++ senders. On the flip side, should the system use a different, more specific, intention-revealing selector to avoid this confusion? Thanks.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] OpenDBXDriver Release - DBXTalk Release Step 1
by Guillermo Polito Aug. 27, 2011

Aug. 27, 2011

Hi folks!! We are proud to make our first release of OpenDBXDriver -1.0 version-, formerly known as SqueakDBX. Now the project involves much more than just a database driver. This whole new project is called DBXTalk and OpenDBXDriver is just one of the sub-projects. There are several changes between this version and the last one of SqueakDBX, but most of them is about infrastructure: test were moved to a separate package, platform packages and backend classes were renamed, all "SqueakDBX" was replaced with its new name. To install it: Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver'; load. (((Smalltalk globals at: #ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: #stable) load. We have also created a new repository for all the code: http://www.squeaksource.com/DBXTalk The issue tracker is in: http://code.google.com/p/dbxtalk/issues/list Thanks to Natacha Perrin we have a new DBXTalk logo that you can see in: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/dbxtalk46.png The license of the logo is Creative Commons. We have also started a Pharo By Example chapter. So far we are writing about DBXTalk, but soon we will do about Glorp. We attach a draft of it while it is integrated into the main git repository of the book. Just in case here is the git repo fork: https://github.com/guillep/PharoByExample-english. Just to let you know, we have already ported the last VW release of Glorp to Pharo and we have it already working MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Sqlite3. We are closing some last problems and we will soon make the first release. We want to thanks Alan Night for all his help and his reviews :). 4 persons of the team are present at ESUG right now and we are going to give a talk on Friday. We will upload then the slides. Finally, we would like to thanks ESUG for the sponsorship through this ESUG SummerTalk. Thanks! Guille, Mariano, Esteban, Santiago, Gise

[Pharo-project] Exceptions with Continuations
by Camillo Bruni Aug. 26, 2011

Aug. 26, 2011

It always bugged me that SUnit has to rerun the tests again when you want to debug them. So I made a little use-case where exceptions have an optional continuation, so you can resume/debug them later on. Here's a small example: |e| [ 0 / 0 ] on: Error do: [ :error| e := error freeze ]. e debug freeze simply creates a continuation (at the moment a full one, but that could be of course reduced to a partial one by the TestRunner). Now when you would click on the failing test result you would simply have to activate the corresponding error by sending #debug to it. This would have a major advantage for non-deterministic tests (which of course they should not be). Because in this case you're lost with the current SUnit since the debug stack will differ from the actual test-run which produced the error. Needed Changes: - Continuations (the one from Seaside will just do fine) - Exception >> #freeze saving the continuation - TestCase has to store the actual exception
