Another solution is that the image-level code should agree on what the codes for the buttons are, and the VMs should be fixed accordingly, so that they abstract that part of the platform away.

You should look at what's in Current (it's a class variable, so select it in the the class declaration for RioLocalExecutive). It should contain an instance of RioLocalExecutive or one of its subclasses, depending on your OS. If it's nil, then either it was reset somehow, or your platform was incorrectly detected ?

It is never updated. However, It is well implemented by OB, and works very well with it. So the question is can I remove it from old browser (from the core). We can keep OB implementation and introduce an OB specific setting for it. Regarding the old browser, It is very badly implemented and introduces very dirty dependences. See pieces of code below.

My favorite coding font by far is Consolas, a proprietary Microsoft font that ships with Vista and newer versions of Office. (Hey, give me a break; once every 30 years, they're allowed to get something right.) I therefore gave the following configuration a shot: font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Lucida Grande' pointSize: 10. codeFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'Consolas' pointSize: 9. titleFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'Lucida Grande' pointSize: 11. Preferences setListFontTo: font. Preferences setMenuFontTo: font. Preferences setCodeFontTo: codeFont. Preferences setButtonFontTo: font. Preferences setSystemFontTo: font. Preferences setWindowTitleFontTo: titleFont. Unfortunately, under Pharo, the result's so bad, I feel as if I'm trying to code through beer goggles. The Lucida Grande looks fine, but the Consolas looks as if it has been heavily smeared. Oddly, the problem mostly goes away if I change Consolas' size to 8 points, rather than 9. To me, without any knowledge of what Pharo does for fonts, that screams that the FreeType plugin is built without the bytecode interpreter. If so, I think it can safely be enabled on both OS X and Windows, since the patent holders are Apple and Microsoft. --Benjamin

Re: [Pharo-project] Port of Cryptography to Pharo

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

The most recent post on the crytography mailing list starts out as follows: Since the Cryptography Team doesn't exists anymore, the Cryptography package is not maintained by anyone. The SSL implementation doesn't allow easy debugging, you can't just turn on logging to see what's happening. Following the state machine transitions should give you the answer why the handshake isn't succeding. It might be related to certificates or TLS->SSL3 fallback. If I were you, I would go with curl. I think it is time to write a wrapper around open SSL in addition to looking at the curl plugin. Trying to write cryptography code from scratch and get and keep it right is a huge effort, and pretty avoidable, and IMHO, better avoided by letting others do the job. Ever read Sun Tzu?
