Hi all. What is the easiest way to port Zinc Websockets to VW? Has this been done? Shaping

[ANN] The STON Specification
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Nov. 6, 2018

Nov. 6, 2018

Hi, Since there can never be enough documentation I finally took some time to write a more formal description of STON as a data format. https://github.com/svenvc/ston/blob/master/ston-spec.md The idea is to let this stabilise a bit and to then update the two other documents describing STON, where necessary: https://github.com/svenvc/ston/blob/master/ston-paper.md https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessf… Also, the latest changes in STON have to make their way to the Pharo image as well. https://github.com/svenvc/ston All feedback is welcome.

Unable to repair repository
by Alistair Grant Nov. 6, 2018

Nov. 6, 2018

Hi Everyone, In the latest Pharo (88c6b8d), attempting to repair the pharo repository, i.e. clone it, first a warning is raised: "There is no associated repository configured." and then a DNU: #pathString was sent to nil. The DNU is because IceTipCopyCommitishCommand>>canBeExecutedInContext: now sends #commitId instead of #shortCommitId. IceTipRepositoryModel>>shortCommitId has an exception handler, while #commitId doesn't. Can someone explain why the warning was added? It is a bit annoying to have to click through dialogs telling me that the repository I'm trying to create needs to be created. Using the generic Error exception handler has the risk of hiding other problems. Wouldn't it be better to create a IceRepositoryMissing error, or similar? Thanks, Alistair

[ANN] 22477 DelayScheduler cleanup and refactoring [was: Where do we go now ?]
by Ben Coman Nov. 5, 2018

Nov. 5, 2018

On Fri, 13 Apr 2018 at 13:56, Benoit St-Jean via Pharo-users < pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> wrote: > Do we really need 8 delay schedulers (DelayMicrosecondScheduler, > DelayMillisecondScheduler, DelayNullScheduler, > DelayExperimentalSpinScheduler, DelaySpinScheduler, DelayTicklessScheduler, > DelayExperimentalCourageousScheduler, DelayExperimentalSemaphoreScheduler) > ? > I've cleaned the delay scheduling subsystem [1] to condense these alternatives and separate orthogonal functionality. After a couple of reviews this was integrated and made active in last week's Build 1273. Could anyone with test scenarios from previous issues with delays have a bash at stressing the latest build. The old(existing) DelaySpinScheduler remains in the system so it can be activated as a point of comparison (System > Settings > System > Delay Scheduler). Pending any adverse reports the final step will be to remove the old hierarchy next week. There remain separate mutex and semaphore based schedulers since: * they differ by only a couple of overridden methods * their slightly different implementations help highlight the core algorithm * they provide a simple in-Image example of different synchronisation mechanisms. * in isolating edge cases its useful to be able to compare results between implementations I've retained both microsecond and millisecond operation, but extracted into "ticker" classes orthogonal to the "scheduling" classes since: * it makes the core scheduling algorithm independent of time base * millisecond (or other custom) timebase might(?) be more efficient on smaller 32-bit embedded systems * tests can now simulate ticker time to avoid tests interfering with system's-active-scheduler VM interaction (which may be the source of some random CI failures) * delay scheduler tests are now independent of real-time (which may be the source of some random CI failures where delays are affected by varying CI server loads) * when multi-threaded FFI callbacks become available, may facilitate experimenting with: * wake-up from native timers * wake-up of embedded Pharo from the encompassing system Other refactors: * during system snapshot, save/restore of resumption times was happening at user priority which risks a race condition reported at [2]. *All* modification of resumption times now occurs at timing/highest priority.
