OSVM pre-release 201802061430 ready to be tested
by Fabio Niephaus Feb. 10, 2018

Feb. 10, 2018

Dear all, We were able to fix all build problems today, so here is the OpenSmalltalkVM pre-release 201802061430 [1]. The Pharo VMs for macOS are now correctly signed. More importantly, they come with a fix for "Crashes while typing on macOS Sierra" [2]. Please give the VMs a try if you have some time and report any bugs at [3]. Best, Fabio [1] https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/tag/201802061430 [2] https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/141 [3] https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues

About method comments
by Stephane Ducasse Feb. 10, 2018

Feb. 10, 2018

Hi guys >From now on I will VETO the introduction of code where methods are not commented. I'm FEDUP FEDUP FEDUP to spend my time commenting methods that I do not know and understand, juts because the original author thought that this is obvious. NOTHING IS OBVIOUS!!!! So I will check if we can have a little process that systematically reject code without enough method comments. Pharo should grow and pharoers too. Stef PS: now you can comment that x said that method should be self-explanatory. This is bullshit. I'm not asking for stupid comments! I'm asking for respect for maintainers and other programmers.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Seaside-dev] How should I load Seaside/Bootstrap in Pharo 7 ?
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Feb. 10, 2018

Hi Maximiliano, I finally managed to reproduce your situation, using get.pharo.org/70+vm on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, 64bit using a 32bit VM). Indeed the second time the image comes up blank. It does however still work (I had a running server in it and I could access it via the browser). You can also interrupt Pharo (ctrl-.) and the debugger shows the process is blocked at the 'wait wait' in the following method: SessionManager>>#snapshot: save andQuit: quit | isImageStarting wait | "We do the snapshot in a separate process in maximum priority to have always a clean startup. This process will be interrupted by the fork, and will be resumed as soon as the snapshot finishes. We synchronize these processes in case both are in the same priority. When both arguments are false, do nothing and return false." (save or: [quit]) ifFalse: [ ^ false ]. wait := Semaphore new. [ isImageStarting := self launchSnapshot: save andQuit: quit. wait signal ] forkAt: Processor highestPriority. wait wait. ^ isImageStarting Now, the underlying error is ZnCrPortableWriteStream that disappeared and is used by the command line handlers. It seems the latest Zinc (as loaded by Seaside) does not yet contain this class. I'll check and come back.

Calypso wishlist
by Stephane Ducasse Feb. 9, 2018

Feb. 9, 2018

Hi denis - I would like to be able to define a method even in the class pane and that the system detects it automatically. - Then we are starting to reverse engineering the ecompletion system and I'm learning it. I would like to know if Calypso can communicate with ecompletion the fact that we are defining a method. Then I have to check how the system can know that we are typing method argument when defining the signature but I think that this is not related to calypso. Stef
