[Pharo-project] [NativeBoost] Generic failure errors when using nil for void* and char* arguments
by Jan van de Sandt April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012

Hello, I use NativeBoost to call some icu4c functions. This works fine most of the time. But now I run into the problem that when I pass nil as the argument value for one or more void* / char* parameters I get an error. When I pass a value or an empty ByteArray than it works. According to the icu4c documentation I should be able to pass NULL as an argument value. What am I missing? Jan.

[Pharo-project] Athens/Cairo and Nautilus MNU: ClassTrait>>correspondingForTest
by Alexis Parseghian April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012

After loading Athens from Metacello configuration, and following Igor's advice as to where to fix the library path in TCairoLibrary class. - Downloading a new official 1.4 image - Loading ConfigurationOfAthens from squeaksource, version 1.0 - viewing TCairoLibrary with the basic browser => ok on both instance and class side - load Nautilus from MetacelloConfigurationBrowser ("Load configuration and stable version) - viewing TCairoLibrary with Nautilus, instance side OK, class side raises this MNU - viewing TEasilyThemed (for instance) with Nautilus, works on both sides.

[Pharo-project] 1.4, seaside, comet, how to get it working
by jb April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012

i just downloaded 1.4, installed seaside using the configuration browser and everything went great. i added a Zinc server adapator in the Seaside control panel and its all working fine. but then i went to set up the comet/streaming server and im kind of stumped. there is only one kind of Zinc server adapter and when i try to use it for the comet examples they all complain about needing a server that supports streaming. what do i need to do to get a streaming server for the comet applications? thanks in advance! jb

[Pharo-project] Monticello enhancement - Repository browser - faster loading of comment for review
by Ben Coman April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012

This is a second idea for an enhancement to the Monticello Repository browser that at least myself and perhaps others would find useful. In the Monticello Repository browser, when a package has many new versions and I am wanting to review all of the comments for each package (both for curiosity and also trying to select which I want to load), it is time consuming to do this, having to wait for the selected version to download before seeing the comment, then select the next one and wait, then select the next one and wait, etc... It would be nice if all comments for the various versions could be downloaded in one go at the start - for example from a single file. I see two different ways this might be done. 1. Monticello clients downloads such information from the repository, updates it and then uploads it upon a Save or Copy. 2. A smart backend server process culls the information from the uploaded mcz files to build a single file. However when I say 'single file', when the incremental comments build to some maximum size, that incremental file could be archived to a static version which clients would keep hold of, and roll over to a fresh 'incremental' file) I hope that makes sense, cheers -ben btw, I didn't chime in before but congratulations with the 1.4 release. Its a bigger effort than I realized and I'm impressed. I'm looking for to using Pharo even more.

[Pharo-project] Monticello enhancement - Repository browser <changes from last version>
by Ben Coman April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012

This is an idea for an enhancement to the Monticello Repository browser that at least myself and perhaps others would find useful - or maybe this is already exists and I just don't know about it. From the Repository browser, when selecting a package version from the top-right-pane, the <Changes> button becomes enabled. This shows changes of the selected version compared to the current image. However sometimes when there are many new versions and I am skimming the descriptions, something catches my interest half way up the list (like "added some new functionality") and I would like to review only the new changes for that functionality - not the accumulation of changes from all previous versions. Currently to do this I need to load version 101 (for example), select version 102 and click <Changes>. Some reasons to not want to load version 101 might be: + time consuming to do this several time + maybe some changes in current image that want to be merged rather than overwritten + current image is already on version 130 and not wanting to revert code in image - just review the delta related to a comment for a past version. cheer -ben

20007 ----- Issue 5610: layout variable on Behavior http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5610 PLEASE NOTE: this update adds a fourth iVar in Behavor. -> use a old Squeak VM for loading this update -> the DNU at the end, just force return self. ;-) It's called unstable for a reason! Camillo and Marcus if someone wonders... we want to slowly iterate to reach something like the stuff described here: http://scg.unibe.ch/archive/papers/Verw11bFlexibleObjectLayouts.pdf -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] athens coordinate system is purely integer?

Is that true? There's no floating point or fixed point/fraction option to specify coordinates? L

Its float, but it depends on your backend. In Gaucho, i use the Cairo backend, so i developed a ZUI with local coordinates using floats. I suppose in Ballon you can use Floats, because its tied to Morphic.(not sure on that one). Fernando On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 5:25 AM, Lawson English <lenglish5(a)cox.net> wrote: > Is that true?
