[Pharo-project] [ANN] Magma 1.1
by Chris Muller April 21, 2010

April 21, 2010

In conjunction with the outstanding releases of Pharo 1.0 and Squeak 4.1, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Magma 1.1 release 1. Don't be fooled by the grand version number; it's just an increment of "1.0 release 44" (details below). This "1.1" is about compatibility with what I feel are these new beginnings in Smalltalk. - Chris Changes in 1.1r1 (since 1.0r44): - Compatible with Squeak 4.1 and Pharo 1.0 (also compatible with Squeak 3.10 and 3.9). Loads into all images cleanly, with no more warnings in Pharo. - No longer necessary to disable WriteBarrier to run the tests; if it can't be used, just don't rather than intrude on the user. - Added MagmaSession>>#fullBackup, for making a quick, convenient backup on the server in the same directory as the existing repository, but named with its commitNumber as an extension. This is useful insurance for when you're about to run, say, a domain migration script.. - Fix for case using relative-path local locations. - Moved MagmaSessionRequest to Ma base additions so that applications can be written to to signal MagmaSessionRequests without having to load all of the packages associated with Magma. - Added MaHashIndex>>#keyCounts to help developers determine distribution of keys and number of duplicates, for optimizing indexes. - Some other minor fixes and optimizations.

[Pharo-project] Wish List for Tests
by Torsten Bergmann April 20, 2010

April 20, 2010

Just a short wish list for 1.1. regarding test cases: 1. After running all tests in 1.0 I still have three files left on hard disk (rb-spelling.dat, foobug6933, NSDataStreamTest###testGlobal test) If we are able to create a Continuos Integration system (for core and dev image) we should check in a final test case that no files are left. 3. We still have classes with methods that are not categorized. For instance the methods in RenderBugz (a test case subclass) could be easily categorized. One quality check for the CI system could be to check if all methods in a release are categorized. 2. When deleting all test cases using TestCase allSubclasses do: [:each | each removeFromSystem ] I have also Monticello packages changed that are not in test packages. Hope we find the time to clearly separate the tests from the "core" package to clean unload the tests and continue the modularization efforts. However ... the only constant is change and our progress so far is really good. Bye T. -- GRATIS fÃ¼r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

Things are going quite well, I am not too far from a complete set of new rendering primitives. I'll write an update of the project soon, with some updated screen shots, and with a mention to ESUG sponsoring the project. > > Thanks, > Juan Vuletich
