UndefinedClasses as first class entities for P7
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 18, 2018

Sept. 18, 2018

At ESUG 207 there was a presentation about UndefinedClasses as first class entities. According to the slides: https://de.slideshare.net/esug/firstclass-undefined-classes-for-pharo-from-… this was planned for inclusion into Pharo 7. Is this still on the plate? Any status? Thanks T.

Confused about FileReference read/write streams
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Sept. 18, 2018

Sept. 18, 2018

Hi, Since ever (or as far as I can remember), FileReference made a distinction between read and write streams, see #readStream[Do:] and #writeStream[Do:] - these return a ZnCharacterReadStream and ZnCharacterWriteStream in Pharo 7. Along the same lines, #binaryReadStream and #binaryWriteStream where introduced. However, the first returns a ZnBufferedReadStream (OK) while the latter returns a ZnBufferedReadWriteStream. Why ? I think it would be generally better if a standard ZnBufferedWriteStream where returned. ZnBufferedReadWriteStream is not a very pretty class to say the least, it also strikes me as confusing. What would break if we changed this ? If necessary there could be something like #readWriteStream[Do:] I guess. Sven

Standardized nomenclature for feature requests
by Esteban A. Maringolo Sept. 17, 2018

Sept. 17, 2018

Hi there, Q: Is there a reason why Pharo (as a project) doesn't follow a standardized nomenclature for features/request as other communities does? So for instance something like PFR-005 (Pharo Feature Request) could be "Truly headless images", PFR-006 "Pharo Bootstrapping", etc. I can't really tell whether this would improve to the overall process, but I wanted to know if this was already debated by the board and dismissed, if it is something that wasn't considered at all, of if we have something equivalent and what it is. Regards, Language examples: JSR (Java Specification Requests) https://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/all PEP (Python Enhancement Proposals) https://www.python.org/dev/peps/ RFC (Rust, Request for Comments) https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs Technologies: BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) https://github.com/bitcoin/bips EIP (Ethereum Improvement Proposal) https://eips.ethereum.org/ -- Esteban A.

ZnMimePart Disposition-Content spaces
by Ben Coman Sept. 17, 2018

Sept. 17, 2018

Hi Sven, We encountered a ZnMimePart Content-Disposition header problem with a server expecting a space following the "form-data;" string. The diff here... https://www.diffchecker.com/ETIfCUzx * on the left shows the working request from the default command-line tool * on the right shows the non-working request from Pharo. The specifications are really unclear about the requirement or not for a space, so it may be reasonable to consider the fault lies with the server not being permissive enough, but I notice these examples all have space after semi colons... * https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7578 * https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2388.txt so I wonder if this scenario might be widespread (and endemic to Rails apps which this was) and maybe its pragmatic to include the extra spaces to cut off potential issues (it took quite a while to isolate with the live service being HTTPS only.) Steps to reproduce are here... https://github.com/exercism/pharo/issues/96#issuecomment-421224203 In the meantime, once isolated it was simple to work around, but it was almost a show stopper, so I'm interested in your thoughts. cheers -ben

[ANN] New Pharo 6.1 stable VM
by Esteban Lorenzano Sept. 17, 2018

Sept. 17, 2018

Hi, Following what I had in my todo list for when coming back from ESUG, I promoted a new stable VM for Pharo 6.1. This is the VM that has been tested during almost two months for Pharo 7.0, so it should be fine, but let me know if there is any problem. Esteban
