[Pharo-project] Image locked with Display fullscreenOn.
by phil＠highoctane.be April 16, 2012

April 16, 2012

Hello, Got my image unusable after doing a Display fullscreenOn on Win XPSP3 with a 1.3 image. Never had the issue on the Mac. Weird. Any idea on how to solve this without shuttling my image on OSX, changing, saving, and bringing it back on Windows? I made a do.st file with Display fullscreenOff and tried a CogVM.exe xxx.image do.st but to no avail. Help! Philippe

[Pharo-project] Integrate SS3 on planetmisc.squeak.org
by Torsten Bergmann April 16, 2012

April 16, 2012

Hi, since "squeaksource.com" is closed for new projects and new projects now move to "ss3.gemstone.com" would it be possible to add the new Sqeaksource 3 also to http://planetmisc.squeak.org This way one could easily see the new SS3 commits as well.

I think the company was aquired. If I remember correctly by Esmertec. They did Java VMs for cellphones (they came orginally from the Oberon community, I think). Esmertec quickly decided to focus on Java for cellphonez and everything Resilient was shelved. Esmertec itself merged with a french company and is now Myriad Group: http://www.myriadgroup.com/ And all the people involved went to Google to do V8 JavaScript and (I guess) now Dart.
