Dear Pharo users and developers, I started a series of posts about describing Spec application behaviour with Hera. The first post explains how Hera manages open Spec windows and describes the Gherkin steps involved with windows. https://all-objects-all-the-time.st/#/blog/posts/19 As always, all feedback is welcome.

How to improve sharpiness of fonts
by stephane ducasse Jan. 28, 2026

Jan. 28, 2026

Hi guys Happy new year! I would like to share with you a need. I have different screens of different DPI and my view is not getting better. Now on retina the fonts are either too small (zoom 100) or too large (150) so I end up having blurry fonts. I would like to know if the situation could be improved with font that have a larger spectrum of sizes. May be using the fonts of the OS could help too. Any idea and help is welcome. S

AI systems & Smalltalk

This evening I added ChatGPT support to our work on AI systems talking to Squeak and Cuis systems. Likely 10 minutes to enable Pharo to join the party, any takers?https://github.com/CorporateSmalltalkConsultingLtd/ClaudeSmalltalk .... John M. McIntosh.

Claude & Smalltalk

Hi, if you've been watch Claude Code taking over the world, missing interacting with Smalltalk, then I've build out an interface so you can talk to Cuis Smalltalk. However the Python MCP bridge interfaces to a Smalltalk solution via MQTT so a bit of work could be done to enable one to talk to a Pharo image. https://github.com/CorporateSmalltalkConsultingLtd/SmalltalkCuisMCP ....

Looking for Metacello beta testers
by stephane ducasse Jan. 4, 2026

Jan. 4, 2026

Hello Under the radar, we are actively continiously cleaning Pharo deep core so that we can work on new features. For metacello, in Pharo 13 we introduced a strict mode (so that we can detect hidden dependencies), and other loading features to support module experimentations. It will make Pharo code more robust in the long term. Since a couple of months we are actively simplifying/cleaning Metacello (as the version available in Pharo) because we want to introduce new features such as the possibility to force the reload of baselines and others. Now the unit test coverage of metacello is quite low and we do not use/know all the features that are available and that you may rely on. So we would love to have beta testers that can just try to load their code in Pharo 14 alpha and report potential bugs or features drop we would have introduced. So do not hesitate and this is a nice way to help pharo S.

[DEBT 2026] Future Debugging Techniques Call for Papers, submission 7th of March 2026
by Steven Costiou Dec. 27, 2025

Dec. 27, 2025

DEBT 2026: Call for Papers ================================================================================ DEBT 2026, Workshop co-located with ECOOP 2026, Brussels, Belgium Fourth Workshop on Future Debugging Techniques (https://2026.ecoop.org/home/debt-2026#Call-for-Papers) ================================================================================ Important Dates ----------------------- * Abstract submission deadline: Sat 28 Feb 2026 * Paper submission deadline: Sat 7 Mar 2026 * Author notification: Wed 15 Apr 2026 * Workshop: Monday 29 June 2026 ================================================================================ DEBTâ26 is looking to advance state-of-the-art to debug modern software. We welcome researchers from all related areas aimed at helping with the hard task of diagnosing the root cause of bugs, including dynamic and static debugging techniques, online and postmortem debuggers, delta debugging, automatic bug finding, novel visualization techniques for debugging programs, etc. The workshop aims to gather the community and foster discussion from different perspectives. That is why we seek submissions in the form of papers as well as talks and tool demonstrations. The workshop is a venue for all approaches to debugging. A non-exclusive list of topics of interest is: * Debugging techniques, from static to dynamic techniques. * Innovative visualisation techniques. * Techniques targeted specific programming models and execution models (e.g., concurrent and parallel programming, microservices, distributed ledgers, web, etc. ) or hardware (e.g., debugging micro-controllers, mobile devices, Big Data applications, etc.). * Case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., user studies on visualisation tools, debuggers, etc. * Surveys, taxonomies of bugs and bug patterns, and current practices/uses of debugging approaches. Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for ACM sigplanpapers (\documentclass[sigplan,screen]{acmart}), seehttps://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ <https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/>for details. Submissions should be made via Easychair using the following link:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=debt2026 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=debt2026> The accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, though authors will be able to opt out of this publication, if desired. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the workshop and attend the event to present the work, and participate in the discussions. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Workshop Organizers --------------------------- * Burcu Kulahcioglu Ozkan, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands * Steven Costiou, Centre Inria de lâUniversitÃ© de Lille, France For more information see: https://2026.ecoop.org/home/debt-2026
