Esteban's ChangeLog week of 23 January 2017

by estebanlm＠gmail.com

Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 23 January 2017 to 29 January 2017. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=23/1/2017&to=29/1/2017 ChangeLog ========= 27 January 2017: ---------------- * I worked a bit with [iceberg](https://github.com/npasserini/iceberg). Finally merged the branch +multi-remotes+ onto +0.4-dev+ just to realise immediately there is a [bug](https://github.com/npasserini/iceberg/issues/264) :( Anyway... this is at least partially solved so I will integrate it directly. * Fixed [case: 19592](https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19592) (PharoVM shown as Squeak Cog VM on Windows task Manager). * I worked with Clement to figure out why +supportsWriteBarrier+ was answering +false+ in windows builds. Turns out it was a combined bug: First, a problem in the VM and double castings (weird, isn't?). This is already taken care by Clement. Second (and this is 'my' side of the problem), PharoVM builds needed to include a couple of flags I was not inclding: ---- MULTIPLEBYTECODESETS=true bytecodeTableInitializer=initializeBytecodeTableForSqueakV3PlusClosuresSistaV1Hybrid ---- with this two things fixed, now everything should be fine in Windows side. Curiously, even if the method was answering false, the 'write barrier' was actually working :) 26 January 2017: ---------------- * Spent some time verifying some issues with VM on Windows. * Why +SqueakSSL+ is not working? [case: 19605](https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19605). This looks to be an invalid issue, since I cannot prove it (nor Torsten). * Why +Smalltalk vm supportsWriteBarrier+ answers +false+ ? This is weird, since my own builds (which are the same) answers correctly +true+ . Anyway, I will try triggering a new build, and hope for the best. * I submited a fix for [case: 19315](https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19315). The patch contains both my workaround plus the fix suggested by Phil (in a slightly different way)... yeah, I know this is redundant but I want to be sure this damn bug is fixed for good :) 23 January 2017: ---------------- * I made a small iteration on the new mail service over this thingy... now I export the log in my own variation of the [AsciiDoc](http://asciidoctor.org/docs/what-is-asciidoc/#who-s-using-asciido… format. I choose to do it like this because format is more legible (and +Pillar+ already has one exporter to it :P) * I added +AioPlugin+ to all linux distros (they will be available in latest VM). As with SqueakSSL, I have no idea why it was missing :P cheers! Esteban

Re: [Pharo-dev] athens dead code?

by phil＠highoctane.be

Why do not we have that concept of -contrib like there is in so many other places? Packages are release with the official party line and there is a -contrib package, or contrib/ subfolder that contains extensions and other useful bits that are not "core" but are still useful for people and do not require a hunt to figure out that they do exist?

I found myself thinking of those airtight boxes with gloves used in biology labs and that led to Scissorhands Claw (as in Toy Story) Less frivolous: Extensor Pert (Pharo Extended with Remote Tools. pert 1. a. High-spirited, lively, or cheerful: A pert receptionist greets each client. b. Impudently bold; saucy: He was pert to his teacher. She gave a pert answer. 2. a. Attractive or stylish in appearance: a pert hat. b. Small or firm and well-formed: a pert nose. and hence pert means sexy) _,,,^..^,,,_ (phone) > On Jan 29, 2017, at 4:06 PM, Ben Coman <btc(a)openinworld.com> wrote: > > > >> On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 10:14 PM, stepharong <stepharong(a)free.fr> wrote: >> Hi guys >> >> Since we will push the remote tools (videos/web...)

My two cents... * Pharoscope from Pharo + Telescope. * Phresnel from Fresnel lenses [1] used in lighthouses to be visible over greater distances.
