NativeBoost and WKHTML
by Torsten Bergmann May 21, 2014

May 21, 2014

Hi, tried to wrap the WKHTML library (wkhtmltopdf.org) with NB to easily generate a PDF using HTML from Pharo. I think this could serve as an easy printing solution for Pharo. Code for an initial wrapper is on http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/WKHTML2PDF with a simple class calling the component using NativeBoost. See class "WKPDFLibrary example" I used Windows and the wkhtmltox.dll. The C example I follow with only a few function calls is very simple and can be found at the bottom of: http://m.blog.csdn.net/blog/pengqianhe/8089007 The component is called, I get correct structs in return - but still no PDF file is generated. Currently I cant see the forest for the trees. Maybe someone can have a short look what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance T.

Configuration management Magritte and Pier
by Diego Lont May 21, 2014

May 21, 2014

Hi all, I notice that for Grease and Seaside changes in the versions are always discussed on the Seaside list. Now maybe not all changes should be discussed, but for the major projects, like Magritte and Pier, I would like to have at least an announcement if a change is made in the configuration. To be more exact, I have no idea why version 3.2 was created in Magritte. I cannot find any mail on the list about this version. Secondly I would like people to use release versions of Grease, Seaside, Magritte and Pier as much as possible. I have introduced releases for Grease, Seaside, Magritte and Pier to all have a #âreleaseâ. These release âremoveâ the last index. So for Seaside the current released version is: 3.1.0.2. This means there is a #release3.1, referring to â3.1.0.2' and a #release3.0 referring to â3.0.12â. When there is an important bug fix, version 3.1.0.3 will be created with this fix, and release3.1 will point to that version. And when 3.1.1 is released, #release3.1 will point to this version. To be completely consistent, there should be a #release3.1.0 as well (referring to 3.1.0.2). There is also a #release3, that is the latest recommended release. As this is different for squeakCommon and gemstone at the moment, this is a special case for Seaside, but normally it would simply point to release3.1. It might be a good idea to introduce #releases to more configurations. Discussion on the Magritte list. Cheers, Diego

Aconcagua Hashing Bug?
by Sean P. DeNigris May 21, 2014

May 21, 2014

(1/2) teaspoons hash ~= 0.5 teaspoons hash b.t.w. Phexample caught this automatically because it checks hashes when comparing for equality... pretty cool ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Aconcagua-Hashing-Bug-tp4759622.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi Norbert, http://mustache.github.io/ does not mention the port for Pharo Smalltalk. Maybe you should contact them to add a link to http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~NorbertHartl/Mustache. Such links can help getting more visibility. Thx T.

32 bits and 64 bits VM
by Hilaire Fernandes May 20, 2014

May 20, 2014

Yesterday my boss asked me to see DrGeo on his Ununtu 14.04LTS 64 bits machine. I could not get it working, 32 bits compatibility package to run 32bits application on 64bits system is gone, you have to find out manually the needed 32 bits libs and install it. Now I don't want to face this situation anymore, I want to provide with DrGeo a VM for each word size, compiled with not recent libc et al. and a working keypad. It is the bare minimum to not look ridiculous. By the way, the situation would have been equally ridiculous showing Pharo3. Now, I wonder, how is deal the 32bits/64bits situation on Windows and Mac OSX? Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu
