[ANN] Screencast on Versionner (Part 2)
by Esteban Lorenzano May 1, 2015

May 1, 2015

Hi again, Now I made a small video on how to use Versionner to help you manage your releases and commits. https://youtu.be/cFRJDuWL-Q0 <https://youtu.be/cFRJDuWL-Q0> This is new stuff, so you will need latest Pharo 5 to use it, alternatively you can install latest Versionner into Pharo 4 (I donât know how it will work on Pharo 3, youâll probably need to load Glamour as well others). In Pharo 4, you can install it executing: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'Versionner'; configuration; loadVersion: '2.12.2'. cheers, Esteban

ThemeIcons current: #IdeaUIThemeIcons asClass new. âIn Pharo 4, you might need to execute thisâ AbstractNautilusUI resetIconCaches. This icon pack works also for Pharo 3 If you lost it, here a couple of screenshots:

Re: [Pharo-dev] Is there a way to understand why rubric (playground) does not highlight code?

Then we can remove the transparent color. Yuriy if you remove it you can also use versioner to make a new configurations for rubric and submit a bug report to integrate :) Cheers, Andrei On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 5:25 PM, Alain Plantec <alain.plantec(a)univ-brest.fr> wrote: > > On 30 Apr 2015, at 16:16, Andrei Chis <chisvasileandrei(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Maybe Alain (in CC) can share some light on this :) > > > ah, strange behaviour and no original intent :) > thanks ! > > cheers > Alain > > > > Cheers, > Andrei > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 4:08 PM, Yuriy Tymchuk <yuriy.tymchuk(a)me.com> > wrote: > >> Iâd like to remove that, but I also want to communicate about what was >> the original intent.

Rectangle Center
by Natalia Tymchuk April 30, 2015

April 30, 2015

Hello. I found very interesting method. Should it really be like that? Or maybe we need to rename this method as #roundedCenter and add the normal #center with usual division? Best regards, Natalia

Is there a way to understand why rubric (playground) does not highlight code?
by Yuriy Tymchuk April 30, 2015

April 30, 2015

Hi. Sometimes it happens that playground does not do the syntax highlighting. This is especially frustrating when you open a new window and text is either white or transparent i.e. you cannot see what you are typing. I guess this is because some process is blocked by another one. Is there a way to check it? Because I want to understand whether it is because of me, or not. Cheers! Uko

[Review] Issue 14080: Nuke remaining subStringXyz's
by Sean P. DeNigris April 30, 2015

April 30, 2015

https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?14080 This was a real PITA! The monkey finally passed it. All [s|S]ubStr[ing].* methods and users have been changed to e.g. substring. I'd like to get it integrated ASAP because this is another that touches many packages and will be hard to keep up to date. Thanks. I notified the maintainers of affected external packages, except Metacello which I included in the slice. Is that correct? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Review-Issue-14080-Nuke-remaining-subStringXyz-s-tp48… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
