[Pharo-project] JPEG plugin.
by John M McIntosh Nov. 3, 2009

Nov. 3, 2009

I'm looking at the JPEG plugin and wondering? (a) Should I convert that to using the os-x platforms JPEG implementation, versus our usage of the source from the "Independent JPEG Group's software" ? (b) Should we consider upgrading the VMs from version "6b 27- Mar-1998" to the more current "release 7 of 27-Jun-2009" since we store the source in the VM SVN tree at the moment. I've not looked but (a) Apple might have a private implementation that could be faster since it would likely use hardware vector services. (b) Relying on the system libraries for conversion means fixes for security issues get prompt attention, versus our non-attention now. -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] Server sockets, ephermal ports, and a Linux VM crash
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Nov. 3, 2009

Nov. 3, 2009

Hello all, Is there a preferred way to create TCP servers? KomServices and ConnectionQueue are options; there has been some discussion of the future of KomServices??? A nice trick is to use "ephmeral" ports, which is a fancy way of saying to pass zero for the listening port and let the OS assign a port. I have used that on Windows and it seems to work on Linux. TcpService does a lot to hide its listening socket; some small changes would allow it to use ephemeral ports. Any interest? They seem to work now, but there is no clean way to query the port that is ultimately chosen; the goal is to be able to so allocate a port and then send it to the other side for out of band communications. Perhaps related to my toying with port numbers (but I doubt that), I have had my older image crash a few times today. I created a TcpService on port zero, the listening socket gets a port and all seems reasonably well until I later inspect a few aspects of the TcpService, at which point the vm crashes. Bill

[Pharo-project] Unicode support problems
by Alexandr Batalshikov Nov. 3, 2009

Nov. 3, 2009

For now, some unicode symbols is impossible input from keyboard (at least, russian letters 'Ð', 'Ð', 'Ð' on Windows platform). I found some solution of this problem: in method ParagraphEditor>>dispatchOnKeyEvent:with: replace line: keyValue := keyValue ifNil: [keyEvent keyValue]. with line: keyValue := keyValue ifNil: [keyEvent keyCharacter asInteger]. Then save method and that's all. Cause of the problem: expressoin "keyEvent keyValue" return small number for all symbols, unclude unicode and give activation of shortcut events, defined in methods ParagraphEditor class>>initializeCmdKeyShortcuts, ParagraphEditor class>>initializeShiftCmdKeyShortcuts. I also notice other strange things: method KeyboardEvent>>keyCharacter sends up to 14 times for one keyboard pressing. Is this normal? Regards, Alexander Batalshikov.

[Pharo-project] ScriptLoader does not implement loadComanche
by Hernan Wilkinson Nov. 3, 2009

Nov. 3, 2009

Does anybody know why? If I want to load Seaside 3.0 from scratch using the ScriptLoader, it does not work becuase loadComanche is not implemented. I solved it copying the implementation from a previous version...

If you go to http://www.pharo-project.org/community and see the link of " irc.freenode.net" you will see the link is http://www.pharo-project.org/irc.freenode.net but that is wrong. I think it should be irc://irc.freenode.net/#pharo-project This was reported in the IRC channel. Thanks to the reporter ;) Best regards, Mariano

[Pharo-project] implementors and senders when there is only one result
by Mariano Martinez Peck Nov. 3, 2009

Nov. 3, 2009

Hi folks, I would love that when I look for senders, implementors, senders, etc for something, if there is ONLY ONE result, the system browser is opened directly with the class/method I am searching, instead of the implementor, senders or reference windows with one only raw. What do you think? If you are agree I can open a ticket and mark it as milestone-1.1 Best Mariano
