Pharo VM 10.3.5
by tesonep＠gmail.com June 4, 2025

June 4, 2025

Hi everybody, we have a new release of the VM 10.3.5. Sorry if you have this announcement from different sources. This new version includes: - Removed unused temp in findNewMethodOrdinaryIfFound: by @kumom in #951, - Remove set cursor C code #210 by @kumom in #952, - Fix PharoWorker value when coming from plist file by @demarey in #972, - Log worker mode by @demarey in #971, - Updating SDL2 to 2.32.6 for Windows (x86_64) and MacOS (ARM and Intel) by @Pablo Tesone in #977, - Set the size of larger indexable object allocated in the young space by @Pablo Tesone in #975, Full Changelog: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/compare/v10.3.4...v10.3.5 This Version fix a really nasty issue when changing the resolution of the monitors in Windows. Thanks so much to all the people who helped us to identify it and to provide workarounds and the final solution that depended on updating SDL. It is a good moment to update your VMs from the launcher, if you are using zeroconf, it will arrive automatically, and if you use OBS packages, they are also updated. This release applies to Pharo 11, 12, 13 and 14. Thank you so much to all the contributors and all the issue reporters! Pablo on Behalf of all the Pharo team. -- Pablo Tesone. tesonep(a)gmail.com

by Masashi UMEZAWA April 29, 2025

April 29, 2025

Hi all, I'm pleased to announce Historia - an event sourcing framework for Pharo. https://github.com/mumez/Historia Historia provides a straightforward way to model your application's state changes as a sequence of immutable events. Key features include: - Model object mutations recorded as timestamped events - ModelSpace (aggregation) for managing named model objects - Automatic synchronization of remote ModelSpaces - Time travel capability to restore state at any point in history - Reliable persistent storage (Redis) for snapshots and events - Inter-ModelSpace communication via EventBridge - Included Bank Account example demonstrating framework usage The framework is designed to be lightweight yet useful for implementing event driven style apps in Pharo. Enjoy! -- [:masashi | ^umezawa]

Link to the questionnaire: [ https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/566958?lang=en | https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/566958?lang=en ] Your participation in this short questionnaire (5 - 10 minutes) would greatly help us analyze existing methods and identify potential gaps in the available solutions. This survey will be open for 6 weeks (Until May 15th, 2025) . The responses will be analyzed and included in a scientific publication. The results will be available [ https://remidufloer.github.io/Dufloer.github.io/survey.html | here ] . If you can, please feel free to share this questionnaire with other developers who might be interested. Every response counts and will contribute to a better understanding of the community's practices! A big thank you for your help and time.
