[Success Story] Support Wizard by Thales

by Marcus Denker

Support Wizard by Thales =================== Support Wizard is an application developped by Pierre Laborde and Eric Le Pors, Global Design and Innovation Leaders at Thales. It is using the latest technological innovations from Pharo to create native and high-performance desktop human-machine interfaces (Bloc graphics engine, Toplo libraries and OS tools). The application is structured with the open-source component architecture framework Molecule. The simplicity and speed of production offered by Pharo and the power of its language allows Thales to focus our efforts on ergonomics and graphic design of the application to offer the best possible user experience.

Re: [ANN] Pharo 12 Release !

by Miloslav.Raus＠cuzk.cz

Wow, impressive improvements! Seems like âsoonâ Bloc and Gtk could be on the same footing, and FFI improvements ânever hurt anybodyâ. The rest of the list is no less spectacular. Probably more spectacular, but Iâm constrained by platform requirements, so I canât use interesting languages to âfurther the cause of evilâ, so anything that smells like âbetter integrationâ gives me shivers. Thanks to everyone involved, keep on rocking ;-) From: Esteban Lorenzano via Pharo-dev <pharo-dev(a)lists.pharo.org> Sent: Friday, April 26, 2024 12:20 PM To: pharo-dev(a)lists.pharo.org; pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org Cc: Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm(a)netc.eu> Subject: [Pharo-dev] [ANN] Pharo 12 Release ! Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers: We have released Pharo<https://pharo.org/> version 12! What is Pharo? Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment focused on simplicity and immediate feedback. [https://pharo.org/news/Pharo12.png] * Simple & powerful language: No constructors, no types declaration, no interfaces, no primitive types. Yet a powerful and elegant language with a full syntax fitting in one postcard! Pharo is objects and messages all the way down. * Live, immersive environment: Immediate feedback at any moment of your development: Developing, testing, debugging. Even in production environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying steps again! * Amazing debugging experience: Pharo environment includes a debugger unlike anything you've seen before. It allows you to step through code, restart the execution of methods, create methods on the fly, and much more! * Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more than 100 contributors for the last revision of the platform and hundreds of people constantly contributing with frameworks and libraries. * Fully open-source: Pharo full stack is released under MIT<https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT> License and available on GitHub<https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo> ... more on the Pharo Features page<http://www.pharo.org/features>. In this iteration of Pharo, we continue working on our objectives of improvement, clean-up and modularization. Also, we included a number of usability and speed improvements. A complete list of changes and improvements is available in our Changelog<https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo120Chang…> Some highlights of this amazing version: Highlights New breakpoint system The debug point system is a breakpoint model that supersedes the previous implementation of breakpoints and watchpoints. They are configurable, composable, and extensible. The traditional breakpoints remain available, including conditional breakpoints, one-time breakpoints, and object-centric breakpoints. Additionally, there are new types of breakpoints, such as chained-breakpoints, which condition the activation of certain breakpoints on the triggering of others (e.g., breakpoint B only activates if breakpoint A is hit first). Debug points also feature a dedicated browser and integration options. [https://pharo.org/news/Pharo12DebugPoints.png] Tools * Scalable fluid class syntax is now the default one * Preparing the introduction of the Bloc graphic system by migrating more tools to Spec2 widgets * Spec2 UI framework enhancements to support GTK 4 * Leaner version of the Metacello package manager * More robust and strict mode for FFI System * New architecture for refactorings and domain specific transformations * Code loading speed improvement * Fast browsing via fully optimized package tags * Optmized memory usage via optimized method protocols * Compiler simplifications and improvements Virtual machine * Massive image support with permanent space * String/ByteArray comparison speed up Development Effort This new version is the result of 1895 Pull Requests integrated just in the Pharo repository. We have closed 865 issues and received contributions from more than 70 different contributors.

Oh man - I've been waiting for that improvement for a few years now (and I had noticed that P13 looked miles better - so good to know we can feel the love in P12 too). Thanks for pointing it out.

Dear Retina users Check the canvas scale factor automatically settings and let us know ï¿¼ On my retina screen it makes a real difference. And this should have been set as default.

They are configurable, composable, and extensible. The traditional breakpoints remain available, including conditional breakpoints, one-time breakpoints, and object-centric breakpoints. Additionally, there are new types of breakpoints, such as chained-breakpoints, which condition the activation of certain breakpoints on the triggering of others (e.g., breakpoint B only activates if breakpoint A is hit first). Debug points also feature a dedicated browser and integration options. > Tools > â¢ Scalable fluid class syntax is now the default one > â¢ Preparing the introduction of the Bloc graphic system by migrating more tools to Spec2 widgets > â¢ Spec2 UI framework enhancements to support GTK 4 > â¢ Leaner version of the Metacello package manager > â¢ More robust and strict mode for FFI > System > â¢ New architecture for refactorings and domain specific transformations > â¢ Code loading speed improvement > â¢ Fast browsing via fully optimized package tags > â¢ Optmized memory usage via optimized method protocols > â¢ Compiler simplifications and improvements > Virtual machine > â¢ Massive image support with permanent space > â¢ String/ByteArray comparison speed up > Development Effort > This new version is the result of 1895 Pull Requests integrated just in the Pharo repository.
