Hi Hilaire, I've been looking at this class (MultiByteFileStream) and I think I might have something to contribute. Cheers, Sheridan ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:22:15 +0100 From: Hilaire <hilaire(a)drgeo.eu> To: pharo-dev(a)lists.pharo.org Subject: Re: [Pharo-dev] contributing to Pharo testing effort Message-ID: <m4v0sn$87d$1(a)ger.gmane.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Hi Sheridan, The MultiByteFileStream is broken when dealing with non-ascii character (see my recent post "Something strange with fileOut) and there are only 3 tests for this class. Test stressing this class will be pretty useful to properly refactor it without breaking other parts.

Monticello repository-browser not emphasizing packages with newer versions.
by Ben Coman Dec. 2, 2014

Dec. 2, 2014

Hi Torsten, I really like the icons you added to Monticello https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?14451 however one thing I notice that seems lacking is indication of which packages have newer versions available. When clicking on a package on the left, on the right versions that are newer are shown in bold. It used to be that the corresponding packages on the left would also be bold, but now it does not. Do you have any ideas on how we can get bolded packages back in the left pane? cheers -ben

I'll take a look at Hapeo as you suggest. It seems like a great idea to get an overall sense of what's going on where before I start. Cheers, Sheri

The default should be simple and predictable, the more complex and special cases can be handled by a more convoluted API. And we should change callers that depend on the old behaviour. Sven

Pharo - [ANN] SimpleDDS v1.0 released.
by Santiago Bragagnolo Dec. 2, 2014

Dec. 2, 2014

Hi guys, i am just releasing SimpleDDS. In order to connect into ROS world i had to implement a DDS support (Publisher/subscriber). For achieving this i did MetaDDS, a library that defines basic objects, announcements, event related mechanisms and data encoding formats, and on top of it SimpleDDS, which is ROS based. SimpleDDS Has a package of examples highly commented for learning how to use it. The comments are also in the Github wiki, as wiki pages: https://github.com/sbragagnolo/SimpleDDS/wiki Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'sbragagnolo' project: 'SimpleDDS'; configuration; loadVersion: #stable Here some links about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Distribution_Service Thats it. Enjoy. Santiago
