[Ann] Phratch 4.0
by jannik laval Oct. 17, 2014

Oct. 17, 2014

Phratch 4.0 is out of the box ! Phratch 4.0 is cleaner, faster and more stable than phratch 3.0. After the version 3.0 that was a release for usability and stability, phratch 4.0 is released to prepare the future. The new features are: - phratch is more modular, eg having a kernel and lots of addons. - cleaning a lot the source code - customizable environment - each block can be made visible or invisible - each category can be made visible or invisible - it is possible to add translation for addons with the pragma <phratchTranslation: âfrâ> in the class PhratchTranslator. This make the translation more modular. - first integration of phratch with the pharo environment. Using the pragma at the class side of any class in Pharo make the class visible and usable in phratch. - There is a lot of things to do with phratch, you are welcome to contribute ! The documentation for new features will arrive soon.

Context variables?
by J.F. Rick Oct. 17, 2014

Oct. 17, 2014

I remember there was some discussion on the list about support for variables tied to the context rather than to the instance or class. This seems particularly useful for a web application where you might want to access the request and response from the context. What is the proper name for these kind of variables and where can I read about how to use them? Cheers, Jeff -- Jochen "Jeff" Rick, Ph.D. http://www.je77.com/ Skype ID: jochenrick

OrderedDictionary and new tools, Seaside...
by phil＠highoctane.be Oct. 17, 2014

Oct. 17, 2014

I am using OrderedDictionary in quite a few places. Now, I have to steam a lot of extra methods from Dictionary as the GTInspector doesn't display things properly, nor the WAInspector and its subclasses out of the box. NeoJSON same story, as Ston etc. OrderPreservingDictionary is quite useful. Yes, there is GRSmallDictionary but it also has the same issues. OrderPreservingDictionary is at least a Collection where GRSmallDictionary is a GRObject. What would be the best strategy here? We need such an ordered map all the time, it deserves a bit better. Opinions? Phil

Rectangle differences between Pharo 3 & 4
by Ben Coman Oct. 17, 2014

Oct. 17, 2014

I notice a difference between Pharo 3 & 4... Rectangle left: 4 right: 3 top: 2 bottom: 1. Build 30856 --> (4@2) corner: (3@1) Build 40309 --> (3@1) corner: (4@2) Rectangle origin: (4@1) corner: (3@2) Build 30856 --> (4@1) corner: (3@2) Build 40309 --> (3@1) corner: (4@2) I remember some report of Stef and Igor fixing some Rectangle stuff, but I wasn't paying attention in detail. Is this related? What is the intent? I noticed this reviewing the some tests added by mschepens https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?14221 It seems now there is an assumption that rectangles always go from top-left to bottom-right. I wonder what would be the effect (in a hypothetical application) if I am dragging a rectangular "rubber band" (as is commonly done for selection in graphics programs) and I move the secondary/corner point of a rectangle up and left of the first/origin point? Would it be correct to say that Points and Rectangles are immutable, and so maybe its not a problem, such that a "rubber band" selection would be creating new rectangles each mouse move? btw, Rectangle left: 1 right: 2 top: 3 bottom: 4. Build 30856 --> (1@3) corner: (2@4) Build 40309 --> (1@3) corner: (2@4) cheers -ben

Tests around Pharo
by Mathieu Schepens Oct. 16, 2014

Oct. 16, 2014

As students of Master 2 IAGL from Lille 1 university (France), four of us are asked to develop some tests around an open-source project. Among proposed projects, we decided to contribute to Pharo. We'll have to develop 15-20tests (isolated/automated/reproducible/quick/good code coverage), and we are wanting them to be as much useful as possible for developers. Where (in the project) could it be useful to develop some tests ? Do you have advices/instructions for us in order to develop them ? We are new with Pharo and Smalltalk, and are having about 8-10hours available per developer. Best regards, Mathieu Schepens
