The problems are: - people have to use the VM from https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/Cog/ So older Vms (with more or different plugins, for example) are not possible. - there is no way to double check if a bug is specific to the Jenkins build Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

But both are not ported to ARM anyway) -> No loading of code from the network Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] [1.4] Doing a #condenseChanges in #14158
by Marcus Denker Sept. 22, 2011

Sept. 22, 2011

Hi, The .changes have gotten really large... (32MB...) So I will do a condense in the next update. NOTE: this will take quite some time to finish, so maybe wait for a pre-built image or Jenkins... Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] yield current Thread
by Camillo Bruni Sept. 21, 2011

Sept. 21, 2011

Is it possible to manually yield the current (high priority) to leave the possibility for other processes to run? The closest solution I came up with is: Delay forMilliseconds: 0.001. IMO not very niceâ¦ cami

[Pharo-project] parsing html....
by Camillo Bruni Sept. 21, 2011

Sept. 21, 2011

Hi everyone. I want to parse an HTML document with Pharo, But the following example fails: XMLDOMParser parse: (ZnEasy get: 'http://www.google.com/') contents. fails on some javascript (&&window...) due to a lazily omitted <![CDATA[ in the <script> section. So Is there an easy way to get around this? cami

> ((para isKindOf: MultiNewParagraph) or: [para text string isByteString > or: [para text string isWideString]]) If you want to be able to handle large texts with nice (LaTeX-like) line breaking we'll probably need some different String implementations. I don't know how far MultiNewParagraph scales. Stephan
