Another just arrived, so I thought I'd share it again. In another half year I guess I'll get another, so if anyone doesn't want me to post again then, let me know. More background info... ABC is Australia's government sponsored national TV broadcaster (yay, no commercials!). They produced a web site to help kids literacy. It was fantastic for my kids, although my 8 year old got bored with it later on, so it seems more suited for younger ages. The 4 week free trial is advertised "No credit card required." An annual subscription is AU$80. http://readingeggs.com.au/taf/?utm_source=Aprimo&utm_medium=Email&utm_campa… cheers -ben

GT-Spotter dive in shortcut
by Nicolai Hess Aug. 19, 2016

Aug. 19, 2016

Why did the shortcut for dive-in element/category changed from cmd+right cmd+shift+right to ctrl+right ctrl+shift+right I know there were some discussions about this and that the behavior changed some time ago, but I don't know the rational behind this. thanks nicolai

ifTrue ifFalse shortcuts

Hi, was removal of ifTrue/ifFalse shortcuts on purpose, or by accident? https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/16125/Nautilus-doesn-t-recognize-the-cmd-… (maybe was caused by switch to Rubric?) Peter

I noticed the SmallPOS on ss3 is under MIT license. AFAIK, it was GPLv3. When did this relicensing happen? Stephan

Problem with delay waiting (OSSubprocess code) on Pharo 5.0
by Mariano Martinez Peck Aug. 8, 2016

Aug. 8, 2016

Hi guys, I am seeing a problem in Pharo 5.0 regarding Delay >> wait. I cannot explain how this could happened but it does, and it happened to me a couple of times (but not fully reproducible). In OSSubprocess I have this child watcher: initializeChildWatcher "This is a process which waits for the death of a child processes. Use SIGCHLD events rather than a Delay to poll." | processSynchronizationDelay | *processSynchronizationDelay := Delay forMilliseconds: 20.* childWatcher ifNil: [ childWatcher := [[ "OSProcess authors suspected that there were various ways in which OS signals could be missed under conditions of heavy load. For that reason, we use #waitTimeoutMSecs: with the semaphore, so that if a signal is missed, we time out and rescan occasionally anyway (#updateActiveChildrenAndNotifyDead sends queryExitStatus which sends waitpid() ) " self sigChldSemaphore waitTimeoutMSecs: 1000. *processSynchronizationDelay wait. "Avoids lost signals in heavy process switching"* self updateActiveChildrenAndNotifyDead. ] repeat] newProcess. childWatcher resume. "name selected to look reasonable in the process browser" childWatcher name: ((ReadStream on: childWatcher hash asString) next: 5) , ': the OSSubprocess child watcher' ] The problem is that now above process is hung on the "*processSynchronizationDelay wait.". *At least that's what I can see from the process browser. That should not hung, of course, and should stop waiting after 20 ms. If I inspect the Delay instance in question (doing the wait) I see that the print string is bad.... "a Delay(20 msecs; 3641032396485 msecs remaining)". WTF? 20ms and you remain 3641032396485 to wait??? I attach an screenshot of the Delay instance in case there could be something wrong. Maybe it is wrong to keep and re-use same instance of Delay? (note it is outside the closure) (this was not a problem in the past). Thanks in advance for any clue. -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Pharo 5.0 Tiny Feature Request
by Sean P. DeNigris July 28, 2016

July 28, 2016

I know our policy is to only backport severe bug fixes, but I have one method I'd like added to 5.0 which would make my life a lot easier. Since NBMacShell has been removed, there doesn't seem to be a built-in way to send simple shell commands, which has broken all my project/image load scripts. I propose the following addition which will restore that basic functionality: LibC class>>system: command ^ self ffiCall: #(#int #system #(#char #* #command)) module: self It doesn't change any existing behavior, so seems relatively risk-free. What do you think? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-5-0-Tiny-Feature-Request-tp4901682.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
