[Pharo-project] [ANN] Roassal 1.28
by Alexandre Bergel June 5, 2012

June 5, 2012

Dear Fellow, A couple of weeks ago we have released the Roassal visualization engine. Many of you gave us feedback and we are deeply grateful for this. Since we released the first version, we have closed 25 issues [*]. Many things are left to do, especially to satisfy all the requirements from the Moose community. We are currently working on an HTML exporter for Roassal. We know this is a highly wanted feature. In a couple of weeks we should be able to deliver it. Since the first release of Roassal, we have worked very hard on it and we will continue to do so. Thanks to all of you! Alexandre, Vanessa, Juan Pablo [*] http://code.google.com/p/objectprofile/issues/list?can=1&q=status=Fixed%20c… -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

[Pharo-project] idle VM runs at constant 3-5% CPU load
by Igor Stasenko June 5, 2012

June 5, 2012

i just wonder, what takes so much CPU time, even if it completely idle... 4831- NBCog 4.8 51519- NBCog 3.5 if i kill a UI process, the load goes down to 2.5-3 % ... still too much. i would like to know how we can minimize this. The reason why i concerned is straightly pragmatic: extending battery life.. i found that if i run completely on battery.. it depleting quite fast with VM running (and i don't do anything just coding, i.e not running benchmarks, but more thinking and typing). -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

[Pharo-project] STDIO on Win
by Torsten Bergmann June 4, 2012

June 4, 2012

Hi, havent yet played with the latest stdin/stdout stuff. Does this already work on Windows? At least I tried FileStream stdout nextPutAll: 'Yopla' in the latest 2.0 after starting Pharo-2.0-one-click.bat. Gives an error (write failed). Any comments?

[Pharo-project] What i would like to have instead of progress bar
by Igor Stasenko June 4, 2012

June 4, 2012

If you would ask me (yeah nobody asking me, by i will tell anyways ;) ) how the indication of a progress of some process should look like, here's my potential answer: - a tiny one line in a corner of desktop (instead of huge banner centered in window, sticking on top of everything and obscuring the view) - not blocking user input - no stupid nesting.. i don't care what happens inside of something else happens.. if it is really necessary, i would just replace the title of a task with it's subtask title while it performing. this is just about first rule: it has to be a single line, not a bunch of lines stocking one over another.. i think this is abuse. most of the times, i just need a notion of progress of a whole thing, not progress of it's subthings (if user really wants, he can hover the mouse over progress line to see the details, but by default it should take minimal space on the screen). -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
