new themoosebook.org - work in progress

by Tudor Girba

Hi, I am working on a new The Moose Book. You can see the current draft here: http://themoosebook.org In the current form, it covers about 40% of what I want to have at the end. My target is to get a first complete version ready until Spring 2017. The book targets Moose 6.1, although most parts will work with Moose 6.0. The book is written in Pillar. A secondary goal for this book is to build a book editor with tools in Pharo. The current book was generated directly from Pharo without using the command line. The current code is in book GitHub repository, but the end goal is to have these tools working separately from the book. Please let me know what you think. The book repo is here: https://github.com/girba/themoosebook Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "Every thing has its own flow."

Good job Alex! Yes, the development version of Bloc is already based on Sparta. The stable version 0.10.1 is the last version with Athens support.

Super!!!

Hi Aliaksei It looks gorgeous. I tried to launch the Bloc image from the CI and it crashes during startup on my mac. I reported that to Glenn and Alain but so far I simply cannot see Bloc code. Is it working for you? I mean is it me that is using the wrong VM. Then I have a question: - do you think that we can have a fallback in terms of back end for the case where we could like to run Pharo on coffee machines but get a live environment on such machines? This is related to the discussions we got this summer about the memory footprint that Moz2D will put on us. I do not mean that we must have one but I think that this is important to check because we can say that Pharo is small but if we need 20 mb libraries for rendering there are some cases where this can kill its usage.

Great! Seems to be the case that we need to take the 64bit border!!

[ANN] Sparta v1.1

by Aliaksei Syrel

Hi I am happy to announce the release of Sparta v1.1 for Pharo 6. https://github.com/syrel/Sparta/tree/v1.1 It can be bootstrapped with the following script: Metacello new baseline: 'Sparta'; repository: 'github://syrel/sparta:v1.1/src'; load: #file:core Examples are on class side of: MozExamples, MozTextExamples (*for linux users:* if you use 32bit pharo on 64bit linux, sparta will not work, since 32bit plugin depends on 32bit GTK which conflicts with 64bit GTK. Either use 32bit linux or 64bit pharo. I tested sparta with 64bit vm on mac and linux - it works, but some features fail because FFI is not ready) Release of v1.1 is focused on hardware acceleration, windows support and text rendering. *What is new:* - Default backends on all platforms changed from software to hardware accelerated. - Now also works on Windows! Default backend is Direct2D for drawings and DirectWrite for text. On multi-gpu machines per-app-default setting is respected. In case of Nvidia it can be changed in nvidia control panel. Sparta is x2 faster on discrete gpu than on integrated one. - Added initial text support, for instance rendering and high precision measurement. - Per-platform settings system is now image based. Allows to enable/disable hardware acceleration, change default backends, change font-mappings tables. Some text examples: (rendering) [image: Inline images 2] (measurement) [image: Inline images 1] Cheers, Alex
