I would like to also thanks all the consortium members and the association members so their continuous support. In addition we would like to thank SchmidtPro and Lifeware for the contracts we sign to improve Pharo. Pharo 80 and Pharo 90 will strongly benefit from this effort.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Wrong behavior of receiveDataInto:fromHost:port:

by HilaireFernandes

It is indeed about *receiveDataInto:fromHost:port:* I am talking about. Its *fromHost* parameter is not of the same nature as the *toHost* parameter in the message *sendUDPData:toHost:port: * In the former it is expected a ByteArray to work, in the later a SocketAdress. *About the context. *This school year I am doing basic Pharo programming with Dr.Geo (12 and 13 years old). I wrote a school book[1] for that. But It is a bit tedious to teach and not enough appealing. It may just be my fault or the format of the book. For the next semester, I will explore alternative format, in more independent teaching unit. For the longer term, I want to explore alternative way of teaching Pharo, more appealing. Something more in the kids interest area. Do you know Minetest, it is a free implementation of Minecraft? It comes with a server software and client instances communicating with the server with a dedicated UDP protocol. In the past, we use it in an architecture project in connexion with math. Written with Pharo, I envision a Minetest client using the UPD protocol to interact with a server. This Pharo written client will be used as a programming environment to control the kid avatar in the Minetest 3D world, like a BotsInc of 3D. The Pharo client will not render the view, it will be done by the usual Minetest client. For example, a kid could code the behaviour of his avatar to build a tower with a Minetest DSL: ../.. 100 timesRepeat: [ avatar goUp 4 timesRepeat: [ 10 timesRepeat: [avatar dropBrick; moveForward]. avatar turnLeft] ] There are some extensions in Minetest client (Mod in Minetest terminology) to do some basic programming but it is not as interesting as could be Pharo programming with a dedicated DSL[3]. I speculate it could be pretty cool and it should meet a lot of success among kids. Plus provide good teaching interest and more Pharo awareness.

[ANN] Pharo 8.0 Released!

by Esteban Lorenzano

Dear World and dynamic language lovers: The time has come for Pharo 8.0 <https://pharo.org/>! Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback. Here are the key highlights of this release: The 64-bit version has become the recommended version for Windows as it was for Unix and OSX. Iceberg, the git client for Pharo, reached its version 1.6.5 with several improvements and bugfixes. Calypso, Pharoâs system browser has new and better refactoring integrations and AST-based suggestions for class definitions. The unified foreign function interface (UnifiedFFI) has been improved with more support for literal objects, better type coercions, and more documentation. Several speed improvements in code searches and compilation. In addition, this version includes several previews of new tools such as the Spec2 GUI framework with native widget integration and the new DrTests test analysis tool and opens the door for the upcoming headless VMs for servers and non-blocking FFI. These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as important. We have closed a massive amount of issues: 2805 issues! A comprehensive changelog can be found at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo80Change… <https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo60Change…>). While the technical improvements are significant, still the most impressive fact is that the new code that got in the main Pharo 8.0 image was contributed by more than 100 people. Pharo is more than code. It is an exciting project involving energetic people. We thank all the contributors to this release: Serge Stinckwich, Myroslava Romaniuk, Hilaire Fernandes, Alexandre Bergel, David Bajger, Sean DeNigris, Theodore Moen, Dayne Guerra Calle, Juraj Kubelka, Max Leske, Santiago Jose Dandois, Alistair Grant, Sabine Mana, Chia Yu, Stephan Eggermont, Milton Mamani, Pavel Krivanek, Ben Coman, Marcus Denker, Pierre Misse, Christophe Demarey, Allex Oliveira, Andreina Cota, Theo Rogliano, ClÃ©ment Dutriez, Quentin Ducasse, Cyril Ferlicot, Cameron Bierwagen, Marek Niepieklo, Clotilde Toullec, Esteban Lorenzano, Vincent Blondeau, Danil Osipchuk, Eiichiro Ito, Noury Bouraqadi, Oleksandr Zaytsev, Jason Riggs, Alain Plantec, Kasper Osterbye, Leonardo Cecchi, Chi Huynh, Santiago Bragagnolo, Antonio Pierro, Pablo Tesone, Tim Mackinnon, Wesley Duerksen, Wilfred Hughes, John Brant, Evelyn Cusi Lopez, Manuel Leuenberger, Thomas Dupriez, Norbert Hartl, Torsten Bergmann, Gabriel Omar Cotelli, Carlo Teixeira, Guille Polito, Torsten Bergman, Damien Pollet, Holger Hans Peter Freyther, Julio Ripoll, Carolina Hernandez Phillips, Julien Delplanque, Hugo Lasnier, James Foster, Will Hensel, Erik Stel, Sven Van Caekenberghe, MartÃn Dias, Tomohiro Oda, Konrad Hinsen, SeÌbastien Roccaserra, StÃ©phane Ducasse, Denis Kudriashov, Ellis Harris, Steven Costiou (If you contributed with Pharo 8.0 development in any way and we missed your name, please send us a mail and we will add you).
