Fwd: Release Artefact 1.0, the PDF framework
by Guillaume Larcheveque June 7, 2013

June 7, 2013

Thanks a lot about your return!!! About format, we will add your format but can you please inform us about all commons US formats (please fileOut what you have implemented). In a short future, we will split the project in many packages and grant to everybody the right to contribute for format, composite elements, fonts... 2013/6/6 Chris Cunningham <cunningham.cb(a)gmail.com> > Hi. > > I'm using your Artefact project, and really enjoying it.

Global initialization for new inst vars
by Sean P. DeNigris June 6, 2013

June 6, 2013

From https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/10856/Global-initialization-for-new-inst-… : > When adding an instance variable which should be given a default value > e.g. in #initialize, you have a problem if there are existing instances of > the class. Instead of the proper default, they will have a nil value. Also > (although less importantly), you have to stop what you're doing to add the > statement to #initialize. In the mean time, I started implementing it in Pharo 2.0 and ran into a little issue... If you: 1. Load the changeset from the issue 2. Debug a method e.g. "RBAbstractCondition new doSomething" 3. Type the name of a non-existence inst var and accept 4. In the dialog, type 4, and accept the dialog The source will appear to have been accepted, but if you browse the method, the statement with the inst var name was not added. n.b. it works fine when editing in a browser instead of the debugger ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Global-initialization-for-new-inst-vars-tp4692042.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Screencast]: Pharo Smalltalk's New TxText: The Power of Clean Code
by Sean P. DeNigris June 6, 2013

June 6, 2013

https://vimeo.com/67752734 Very short and simple video describing my experience while implementing replacing a text morph's cursor with a block cursor to signify vim normal mode. Shows how I was able to accomplish something in a few minutes which seemed impossible with TextEditor and friends. Things are getting really exciting around here :) ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Screencast-Pharo-Smalltalk-s-New-TxText-The-Power-of-… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

10220 Debugger-generated accessors send #shouldBeImplemented The debugger offered me the following implementation: description: aByteString self shouldBeImplemented. description := aByteString What's with line #2?!

Hi is there any reason why class builder does not allow lowercase classnames? Underscore is allowed, though. Jan
