Recommendation for password encryption?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Sept. 30, 2022

Sept. 30, 2022

Hi guys. Some time ago I asked about the best way to encrypt a password. Some of the recommendations I got was: 1) Generally for passwords you do not write a decrypt method for security purposes (eg you do not want people to be able to reverse engineer the encrypted password easily) 2) put a little salt 3) There is http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography/PasswordHashingFFI 4) I should not decrypt password but instead I should compare both encrypted versions to see if they are equal. My scenario is the following. I need to store database passwords in text files. So I don't want to let them as plain text. And while I understand 4), I think it's a different scenario than mine. I know that some database driver may allow you to directly send the encrypted password. But still...I have another similar scenario in which I have to store a password and then send it (unencrypted)...so I kind of really need a bi-directional encryption. Now..I would try to avoid having an external library + FFI. Any ideas what is the best thing I can do? And how could I solve 1) if I want bidirectional like in my case? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Testing "Weekly Digest" for GitHub
by Marcus Denker Sept. 30, 2019

Sept. 30, 2019

Hi, There is a ProBot that creates an issue with a weekly summary. By installing it for testing, we got the first report: Weekly Digest (1 July, 2019 - 8 July, 2019) https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/381 I will do some fine-tuning (e.g. disable commits and star-gazers) later. We then can let it run for some weeks and see if it is useful or not. Marcus

Information on Spec development
by Cyril Ferlicot Aug. 13, 2019

Aug. 13, 2019

Hello everyone! This is an important update about the development of Spec. As you might have heard, we are working on Spec to release a new version in Pharo 8. One goal is to unify all Pharo interfaces behind one GUI framework and a second goal is to allow multiple back-ends (Morphic but also GTK, Bloc, ...). To reach those goals we have been updating the current version of Spec. We see now, however, that updating Spec directly creates troubles with migration. For example, we currently have a lot of deprecation warnings in Iceberg, because we can't update it without breaking Pharo 7 compatibility. After some discussions between the engineers working on Spec, here is our plan to improve the situation: We will copy all classes of Spec and rename them with the "Sp" prefix. (We will also ensure that every class of Spec started with the same prefix for consistency). For extensions methods, we will rename them to have a version different from Spec 1 (The spec from Pharo 7). Once done we will integrate this new version in Pharo 8. From there we will wait some weeks to let users who started to use the updated Spec change their projects to use this new Spec2. Finally, we will revert all changes that happened on Spec 1 and deprecate the packages. We hope this will make things easier for everyone. Have a nice day! -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr

[ANN] Pharo Launcher 1.9.1 released
by Christophe Demarey Aug. 6, 2019

Aug. 6, 2019

Hi all, We are pleased to announce Pharo Launcher 1.9.1 release! The goal of this release is to have a better Windows support. Indeed Pharo Launcher now uses a new library OSWinSubprocess (https://github.com/pharo-contributions/OSWinSubprocess <https://github.com/pharo-contributions/OSWinSubprocess>) created for Pharo Launcher needs. This library allows to create Windows processes through ffi calls to the Windows API. It uses the unicode api, allowing paths with non-ascii characters. In the same time, we switched from OSProcess to OSSubprocess (Linux and OS X) that is now the preferred library to use to fork processes on Linux-based systems. This release is not yet the default download of Pharo Launcher on Pharo web site because we want more feedback before promoting it. Please use this link to install it: https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/1.9 <https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/1.9> and let us know if this version works fine/better for you. ps: For now, the binary is not signed but it will come soon. ps2: Thanks to Keldon Alleyne for his PR on Pharo Launcher offering the first FFI binding to Windows process API Regards, The Pharo team.

[ANN] Pharo Harbour
by Torsten Bergmann Aug. 2, 2019

Aug. 2, 2019

Hi, I experimented with Spec on P8 to build a simple file browser. Metacello new repository: 'github://astares/Pharo-Harbour/src'; baseline: 'Harbour'; load Not much and not complete - unfortunately I had no time to test or verify it yet and time to continue on it is limited next weeks. But I opened the repo to be public already so others can have a look. Use at your own risk and if you have improvements or fixes feel free to send PR's. Maybe we can build something better to replace the old file tool... Bye T.
