Mac - Identified Developers
by Ben Coman April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

From reddit... > My mac complains: "Pharo3.0" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security prefernces allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Of course I just can turn off this. But still. What is the constraint to producing the Mac version as an identified developer? cheers -ben

[Fuel] Serialize and materialize to GZip
by roberto.minelli＠usi.ch April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hi, Following the Fuel test FLUserGuidesTest>>#testGZip I discovered that I can serialize and materialize to and from GZip archives. Cool! I tried with some small test object and it worked like a charm. When I tried with a large objectâ¦ Serialization - It does not work, the image instantly crashes Materialization - Since I was not able to serialize the large object on GZip, I serialized "normally" than compressed the resulting fuel file using GZipWriteStream class>>#compressFile: - When I materialize from the GZip archive, it takes forever and does not succeed after more than 1 minute. Note that the same non-Gzipped file takes a couple of seconds to be materialized. How can I handle this? Thanks in advance, Roby

Pen back in the image
by phil＠highoctane.be April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hello, I'd like to see the Pen class coming back in the main image. It really is useful for getting people acquainted with the tools and the bluebook uses it. I am not asking for a form editor (it could be handy though). Path is dead as it was hijacked by FileSystem. I miss it too. What do you people think? Phil

3.0 Welcome text
by Ben Coman April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Some feedback on the Pharo 3.0 Release welcome text. --- From watching the Ruby conference video from another recent thread, use of the word "immersive" really caught my attention. As well, from another recent thread, newcomers probably don't care if its Smalltalk - either actual or inspired. So lets sell the strongest outside marketing message first... Welcome to Pharo, an immersive live programming environment. rather than Welcome to Pharo, a clean, innovative, free, and open-source Smalltalk-inspired environment. --- Newcomers wont know how to "execute" a statement, so... You can learn pharo by highlighting the next line and selecting [Do it] from the context menu: rather than You can learn pharo by executing: (Later reference to "executing" is okay.) --- > Better [ackaging for standard download Better packaging for standard download >Browser the documentation http://www.pharo.org/documentation Browsing the documentation http://www.pharo.org/documentation >Getting the Pharo By Example book (available as a free PDF): (This is the only line with a colon, remove that.) Maybe move "New class builder" under Kernel heading . Maybe change "More" heading to "Tools" cheers -ben btw, it would be really cool if URLs within comments were automatically identified and clickable to launch an external browser.

[ANN] FFI for ARM
by Douglas McPherson April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Iâve published an alpha version of an FFI for the ARM architecture. It is in the class ThreadedARMFFIPlugin in the VMMaker.oscog package on source.squeak.org. The generated sources are also available at http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/src/plugins/SqueakFFIPrims/ARM3… It passes all existing FFI tests and all tests I used for development. I plan to commit my development tests to the FFI-Tests package within the next few days. These extra tests are important because existing tests donât exercise some of the trickier cases choosing between registers and stack when marshaling function parameters. So far, the ARM FFI has only been tested with the Cog/Stack VM on a Raspberry Pi. I plan to also test it on the BeagleBone Black which has a slightly different ARM chip. The overwhelming majority of the credit for this must go to Eliot Miranda because his FFI design works so well, and because he helped me immensely along the way. And many thanks to Tim Rowledge for showing me how to build a Cog/Stack VM on the RPi and answering numerous other questions. Any bugs in the ARM version of the FFI are my responsibility. Enjoy! Doug
