[ANN] New Pharo VM released (v8.6.1)

by tesonep＠gmail.com

Hi, this is an announcement of a new release of the Pharo VM. This new version is available to be downloaded through get-pharo scripts and through the Pharo Launcher. From the Pharo Launcher, remember to update the VM from the VM manager window. This version includes a series of improvements: - Unification of code base with the headless VM - Preparation for supporting HDPI displays. - Improvements in the speed of Threaded FFI (40x times faster in SameThread runner and 2x in Threaded worker). - Better handling of semaphores - Improvements in the loading of large images (better buffering) - Better support for headless execution on non-main thread Please let me know if you find any issues. Cheers, Pablo -- Pablo Tesone. tesonep(a)gmail.com
