Esteban's ChangeLog week of 23 October 2017
by estebanlm＠gmail.com Oct. 30, 2017

Oct. 30, 2017

Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 23 October 2017 to 29 October 2017. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=23/10/2017&to=29/10/2017 ChangeLog ========= 26 October 2017: ---------------- * I spent far too much time backporting 0.6.2 to Pharo 6.1, but now is done :) 25 October 2017: ---------------- * ... and iceberg 0.6.2 hit Pharo 7.0a :) * I just released [Iceberg v0.6.2](https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg/releases/tag/v0.6.2) Now I need to * update Pharo 7.0 * backport to Pharo 6.1 * I backported latest [metacello](http://github.com/metacello/metacello) to Pharo 6.1 This is needed to now backport iceberg (0.6.2) 24 October 2017: ---------------- * And now I took the oportunity to modify zeroconf to *not* download sources if release >= 7.0 (the image comes with sources anyway). * I just changed the way zeroconf works to restore its original purpose. Turns out, at some moment we introduced a change to ask users if an override will happen. But this is a problem because zeroconf is designed to be used on CI environments, where human interaction does not have a place. I restored the old behaviour, but now I'm creating a backup of files already existing. This way if someone has an error and executes zeroconf in the wrong place, previous images will not be lost. 23 October 2017: ---------------- * I spend some days last week woking with the guys of AFI ([http://afi-sa.fr](http://afi-sa.fr), yes they also use Pharo in some of their projects) and together we recovered SeasideTesting from Davis Shaffer to be used for their TDD experience. you can check it out here: [https://github.com/Afibre/SeasideTesting](https://github.com/Afibre/Seaside… Whatâs SeasideTesting? A package to test Seaside components. Why we do not use Parasol? Because it is based on selenium and that makes the process slow. Where can I know more? * there is some documentation here (for VW, I think): [http://www.shaffer-consulting.com/david/Seaside/TestingComponents/TestingCo… * some slides here (on squeak): [http://esug.org/data/ESUG2005/Wednesday/2005-ESUG-Shaffer.pdf](http://esug.… but all that is old. Best way is to just install and see the tests, as always, cheers! Esteban

, for vector creation
by Tudor Girba Oct. 29, 2017

Oct. 29, 2017

Hi, As mentioned in the separate thread, we played with introducing the extension: , aNumber ^ BlVector2D x: self y: aNumber This means that (10,20) will return a 2D vector. We also have (10,20,30) which returns a 3D vector. , is used for different meanings already in the image beside the collection concatenation. For example, in FileReference is adds a file extension. And Exceptions create a collection. In other packages, PetitParser uses it as a sequence operator. Please voice your concerns.

[ANN] Iceberg 0.6.2 backported to Pharo 6.1
by Esteban Lorenzano Oct. 28, 2017

Oct. 28, 2017

Hi, I backported lastest Iceberg version to Pharo 6.1 to allow people to benefit for latest changes. This version has an important amount of tweak and fixes, but most important is the inclusion of tonel file format (this is default for Pharo 7.0, optional for Pharo 6.1) and introduces a file-per-class format. The advantages of this format has everything to do with the speed of access (is easier to reconstruct a package like) and the space on disk (methods are usually small but minimum space in disk is usually 4k so we waste a lot of space). Is also a better format for SSD disks. To backport Iceberg 0.6.2 I also needed to backport latest version of Metacello, so Pharo 6.1 and Pharo7+ users now also have the latest version of it available :) cheers! Esteban

feenk log

Oct. 28, 2017

Hi, Our team is working on a couple of projects that are relevant for the core of Pharo, namely GT and Bloc/Brick. At ESUG we were asked by several people, and Stef in particular, to make the progress on these projects more transparent. To this end, we will start two streams of signals: - fine grained info bits on out Twitter account (several times a week): https://twitter.com/feenkcom - a less often but regular (probably every 2 weeks) activity log message sent to this mailing list Please let us know if you see an issue with this. In the meantime, letâs start. Bloc: - Over the past couple of weeks Alex worked on transformations and measurements in the core system. It turns out that there was room for quite a number of performance optimizations and for making the system more debuggable. - At the low level, this involved adding matrix and vector support. https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/923123870537863168 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/916300180848349185 - At a higher level, it implies keeping track of measurements https://twitter.com/AliakseiSyrel/status/915203525931622400 - And of transformations: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/919603739656417281 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/917116164484096001 - The BlScalableElement is now working properly GT Examples: - The current repository with unary-based examples is at: https://github.com/feenkcom/gtoolkit-examples - We now have a runner in the inspector that allows us to both see the source code and run and play with the resulting object: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/923210686204989442 - Andrei made the âafterâ behavior to work with unary examples. Cheers, The feenk team -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "Being happy is a matter of choice."
