by Yuriy Tymchuk March 20, 2014

March 20, 2014

Can anybody tell me what is the difference between the class variable on the "instance sideâ definition and instance variable on the âclass sideâ definition? Thanks in advance. Uko

EyeTreeInspector -> Simple Mode?
by phil＠highoctane.be March 20, 2014

March 20, 2014

Is there a way to get the EyeTreeInspector in Pharo3 to only display instance variables and globals and not the whole set of things that are of no interest when developing business style applications? Or put the instance vars first. I'll dig in there for my own use but for newcomers, that's a real PITA I guess. Maybe a filter icon or something would come helpful (or a SimpleEyeTreeInspector option in the drop down) Phil

keybindings problem?
by Tudor Girba March 20, 2014

March 20, 2014

Hi, We (Andrei and I) are experiencing some strange behavior recently related to keybindings. In the example below: - pressing "Cmd+/" brings up the halt - pressing "Cmd+o" does not bring up the halt ((PluggableTextMorph on: 'haba' text: #asText accept: nil) bindKeyCombination: $o command toAction: [ 'does not halt' halt ]; bindKeyCombination: $/ command toAction: [ 'it halts' halt ]) openInWorld One difference between the two is that Cmd+o is already define inside the text morph, while Cmd+/ is not. However, this used to work in 30796 but does not work in 30798. I do not have time right now to look at it more deeply. Do you know why the behavior changed suddenly? What should we adapt?

What did you finally find out for speed up? > Hum, some crappy things. For example, to manage the z-index of the bubble talk: - a loop to draw all the morph - a second loop that select the buuble (isKindOf: bubble !!!) and draw only the bubble. These two loops are in the same method and called on each step... for a bubble that appears only 1 or 2 times in an application Removing the second loop makes Phratch 2x faster. I am continuing to clean that. I also find the problem with click-event. Now when I click, it works fine !

by jannik laval March 19, 2014

March 19, 2014

Dear Community, Thanks to Damien Cassou, Phratch can now be installed on Ubuntu using apt-get. If you are an Ubuntu user on 12.10, 13.10 or 14.04, you can very easily install Phratch. You have to add the Pharo PPA (ppa:pharo/stable) and install Phratch by issuing these commands: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pharo/stable $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install phratch Then just run $ phratch Thank you again Damien ! -- ~~Jannik Laval~~ Ãcole des Mines de Douai Enseignant-chercheur http://www.jannik-laval.eu http://car.mines-douai.fr/

XBRL parser/processor?
by Mariano Martinez Peck March 19, 2014

March 19, 2014

Hi Smalltalkers, Sorry for the cross posting..... I wonder if anyway is aware of a Smalltalk parser/processor of XBRL (http://xbrl.sec.gov/) ? I know it's XML but it seems some extra work/features are needed besides a XML parser to fully support XBRL data extraction. Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Phratch Website + version 3.0 in dev
by jannik laval March 19, 2014

March 19, 2014

Dear all, I am pleased to announce Phratch website: www.phratch.com Thanks to the support of ESUG, it is possible to make visible this wonderful project. For now, what is available on the site: - a presentation of Phratch (you can refer to it now) - installation files, there is a portable version for Windows, Linux, MacOS. - tutorials - block documentation: generated from a Phratch image ! - Some elements for Jetstorm (a lot of new articles will come soon) - a category with news Now about the versions, I am developing the version 3.0 Why this number ? Why a third version in one year of work ? It is clear that a lot of work is already done. Each version represents strong changes in the architecture. - version 1.0 is the port of Scratch + BYOB + Panther in Pharo. It is working but not extendable. - version 2.0 makes Phratch really extendable. We can develop our own block for everything in Pharo. I also make Phratch more modular with the use of Pragmas for some menus, declaration of blocks... It is available only in Pharo 3.0. There are some languages available, I hope more people can translate in other languages (http://www.phratch.com/archives/612) - version 3.0 is the version in development. What is new here: Before this version Phratch was really slow. I am cleaning the code, and now it begins to be fast, really fast ! We also begun to write tests. I am really happy to have the support of ESUG and Pharo. Thanks to the community to make Pharo as usable as it it, it makes our dreams possible.

Pharo3 release delayed!
by Esteban Lorenzano March 19, 2014

March 19, 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, For achieving a great 3.0 release we still have some tasks that we still need to prepare. They are not many, but we (Pharo Board) think it deserves some more effort: 1) Technically, there are still some minor bugs to tackle around RPackage and Nautilus. We do not miss much and that could be done in a couple of days work (in fact, I'm working on them and trying to have it before going to Argentina next week), but in order to be sure, we better wait a bit :). It would be great to see more eyeballs focused on these issues. 2) We want to create a real marketing strategy this time, and that requires preparation time. "Marketing strategy" sounds probably really bombastic, but in our case it means to create pages, send mails, construct the progress log, etc. We we need some time to prepare it properly. So... Pharo3 release date has been moved to April 22. Cheers, Esteban
