The there is URI, a package from Impara that we wanted to replace Url in Squeak 3.9 but development stopped when Impara could not contribute to Squeak anymore (due to politics...). Then there is ZnUrl... Definitly needs cleanup. We need one model for Url that works. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] Pharo on iOS w/ faster graphics
by J.F. Rick March 27, 2012

March 27, 2012

Hi everyone, I've been lurking a little while here and thought I would jump in to see if Pharo would be appropriate for what I want to do. First, here's a little background about myself. I'm an academic researcher in human-computer interaction and educational technology. I've been programming in Smalltalk since the early days of Squeak. For those who remember, I wrote Swiki. I'm now doing work on multi-touch interfaces, such as interactive tabletops and tablets. There's a huge difference between designing interfaces for mouse / keyboard and designing for multi-touch. My current research interests are in creating interfaces that are optimized for the latter, rather than the former. Smalltalk is a great environment for that, because you really can rebuild the GUI from the ground up. I've gone ahead and worked off the work that John McIntosh did on iSqueak to create several applications for iPad. I'm thinking of transitioning from Squeak to Pharo as the current development state of Pharo is a bit cleaner than Squeak. I'm glad to see that there is some interest in getting Pharo on iOS (though there do seem to be problem). I'm not an Objective-C or C expert, so I wouldn't be good at getting the VM to work, but I would be able to go from there to creating some interesting widgets, frameworks, and apps that I could share with the community. One major hurdle I see in my work is that Morphic is just too slow on iPads. While I have been able to optimize the speed of my applications to have them work on Morphic, it is a lot of extra work and I may eventually get to a point where it won't work for what I need it to do. Is there some sort of magic bullet for addressing this? Cairo? Does anyone have any recommendations for addressing this inside Pharo? I'm not interested in 3D interfaces, but rather fast 2D interfaces. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jeff -- Jochen "Jeff" Rick, Ph.D. http://www.je77.com/ Skype ID: jochenrick

[Pharo-project] Source code comments in Pharo: lots of missing things
by philippe.back＠highoctane.be March 27, 2012

March 27, 2012

Just a question: while looking at the comments for classes in the browser, there are often missing entries, even for pretty classic classes. How comes? I find myself with a Squeak image running in parallel just to look up some content. So, content that makes sense is available but didn't got carried over to pharo. Is this a licencing issue? Something else? I have pharo1.0.sources so comments do show where they are available. Also, some methods look like a decompile with t1 t2.. where the source exists in Squeak with the proper parameters. Thanks in advance for shining some light in the topic. Philippe

[Pharo-project] Bug in DateAndTime?
by Max Leske March 27, 2012

March 27, 2012

Hi. Evaluating: DateAndTime now asUnixTime and then creating a DateAndTime object from the result: DateAndTime fromUnixTime: <seconds> does not yield an equivalent object. As far as I can tell, this is because the unix epoch is hard coded in two places: DateAndTime class>>unixEpoch "Answer a DateAndTime representing the Unix epoch (1 January 1970, midnight UTC)" ^ self basicNew ticks: #(2440588 0 0) offset: Duration zero; yourself. DateAndTime>>fromUnixTime: anInteger ^ self fromSeconds: anInteger + 2177452800 "unix epoch constant" So in the end I get a difference of 7200 seconds. I'll gladly open up a bug but can someone please confirm that this is actually a bug and that I didn't miss something? Cheers, Max

We definitly did not remove comments or renamed t1 t2... to me it looks like a config error or a bug. Can you tell us an example? -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
