"Pharo" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Launcher-Mac-CI-Broken-Executable-tp4820123.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Repeatable VM crash

When playing with equality in a class hierarchy I have repeatable VM crash. It is today Pharo VM 3.9-7 from Jenkins and Pharo3. Am I using an out of date VM? Crashdump enclosed Hilaire -- Dr. Geo - http://drgeo.eu iStoa - http://istoa.drgeo.eu

[Pharo-project] StandardFileStream size limit?
by GÃ¶ran Krampe Nov. 13, 2015

Nov. 13, 2015

Hey all! I have just added large file (chunkwise upload and download) support to Kom/Networking/Iliad in Pharo 1.4 and while testing it I tried uploading a 2.9Gb file. I haven't looked at the exact error message, and I haven't tried writing a trivial test - but the "half written" file on disk is almost EXACTLY 2Gb (2147483647) so I am wondering - do we still have a 2Gb file size limit? This is "one click 1.4" on Ubuntu 64 with ext4. regards, GÃ¶ran

Yet another Athens font thread
by Aliaksei Syrel Oct. 11, 2015

Oct. 11, 2015

Hi I noticed that if I force use "Source Code Pro" as standard font for all elements in the image I never have problems with font rendering. In case of "Source Sans Pro" font is just not usable becasue of rendering bugs on mac, windows and linux(?). If "Lucida Sans Pro" is used - no bugs too. Because bug is reproducable on all platform - it's platform independent bug. Because it's reproducable only with one specific font - maybe it's not an athens issue but bug in font itself and if someone could change/update Source Sans Pro to a newly version or to a similar font the problem will be solved? Cheers, Alex

[ANN]: AconcaguaAddOns
by Sean P. DeNigris Oct. 9, 2015

Oct. 9, 2015

I pushed some Aconcagua extensions to http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/SeanDeNigris/AconcaguaAddOns/main/ One part consists of tiny (so far) Aconcagua models of various domains - Time*, Money, and Weight at the moment. The other is the Aconcagua-Magritte package. This gives you MAMeasureDescription, which represents an Aconcagua Measure. It mostly acts like a number field mapped to its amount. You just have to tell it which unit to use to convert the amount number into a Measure. Example usage: MAMeasureDescription new accessor: #replacementPrice; label: 'Replacement Price'; unit: AmDollar new; yourself Then, you can type 100 in a Magritte form and "100 dollars" will be saved to the model. Enjoy! * Yes, I know Chalten has months and years, but (I think when Chalten was extended to handle non-Gregorian calendars) months and year units are no longer derived from each other, and so can not be compared. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ANN-AconcaguaAddOns-tp4820940.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

ARM Cogit
by Eliot Miranda Oct. 7, 2015

Oct. 7, 2015

Hi All, thanks to hard work by Tim Rowledge and Lars Wasserman we now have a functional JIT for the ARM in the simulator. We're still probably some weeks away from a functional ARM JIT VM; issues like instruction cache flushing on real hardware can be tricky to solve. But we're at least ready to start trying to compile the JIT VM for ARM. Doug, see that I added a build directory for build.linux32ARM/squeak.cog.spur. Hopefully a fast VM for Raspberry Pi and Android is only a few weeks away. -- best, Eliot
