Green builds on Github
by Max Leske March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that the Github builds are now all green (since now the DateAndTime issue in Squeak has been fixed), i.e. Pharo-alpha, Pharo 5.0, Pharo 4.0, Squeak-trunk, Squeak-4.6, Squeak-4.5 on both OS X and Linux. See for yourself here: https://github.com/theseion/Fuel. Note that the sources are still being hosted on Smalltalkhub. Iâm triggering the builds through the TravisCI API when I run a build on the INRIA CI. Iâd like to thank Tobias Pape and Fabio Niephaus for their help in setting this up and for creating the SmalltalkCI infrastructure for TravisCI. Cheers, Max

fullscreen on MacOS (possible VM bug)
by J.F. Rick March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Hi, I'm trying to run fullscreen Pharo on MacOS using "Display fullscreenOn". On my laptop (13" Macbook Pro, OS 10.11.4), that works. On my desktop (MacMini, 4k display, OS 10.11.3), the screen goes to black for several seconds and the VM crashes. I am attaching the crash.dmp file. Note that this is a new Pharo4.0 I just downloaded from pharo.org. If I maximize the screen using the green button on the Pharo window, it does not crash. But, it does mean that anytime I move my cursor towards the top the Apple menus appear. That's not ideal for this purpose but could be acceptable. When I quit and restart Pharo, it doesn't come back in full screen mode. Is there Pharo code I can run to have it be in this kind of fullscreen mode without user action? Cheers, Jeff

Fabulous, thank you! replace the self halts with e.g. self assert: (clientSocket dataAvailable = (clientSocket readSemaphore excessSignals > 0)), and we even have a test. I have work to do tomorrow but hope I should be able to debug this soon. I'll add kqueue and epoll support when I fix it. (Stephan, interesting suggestion to throw hardware at the problem, thank you).

SessionManager (aka new startup / shutdown list manager) needs testers
by Christophe Demarey March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Hi, Guillermo, Pablo and I started to work on a new implementation for the image startup / shutdown list. The old implementation misses domain objects, polluted the SmalltalkImage class and introduced crazy dependencies to other packages. So, what is Session Manager? a replacement of the Session class (is now WorkingSession) a rewrite of startup / shutdown list with domain objects SessionManager: can create new sessions and manage categories. Also provide a facade to register new session handlers. Session manager provide sthe list of handlers by order of priority (categories order and categories priority) either for the startup or the shutdown, WorkingSession: unique object for the current smalltalk session (I.e. between a startup and a shutdown). On each image startup the current session is invalidated and a new session is created. Define how errors should be handled. Run the startup / shutdown process. SessionCategory: we defined some well known categories for startup / shutdown: system, network, GUI, tools and there is room to add user specific categories, It help to run the handler at the right time without caring about the whole order. and SessionHandlers: handleSession for a specific class or any other object. the shutdown list is now simply the startup list reversed we also refactored error handling at startup by using the UIManager and StartupUIManager. It allowed to remove ugly checks like #isInteractive, isHeadless in error handling methods and centralize that in UIManager. You can find an image with the new SessionManager in action here: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/SessionManager/ As it is a critical piece of code, could you play / test it a bit before we integrate this new mechanism in the Pharo image? Regards, Christophe ps: Pharo tests pass ps2: There is still some code to clean / remove from the old startup management system.

[ann] pharo consortium membership matching campaign
by Tudor Girba March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Hi, The Pharo Board is proud to announce a special campaign for attracting new Pharo Consortium members during 2016: http://consortium.pharo.org/web/Membership A new fund has been created from which the Consortium will receive the equivalent of one yearly membership fee for every new member, and the increment in yearly fees for every upgrading member. For example, if a new company joins the Consortium as a Silver member (2000 EUR / year), the fund will contribute a one-time amount of 2000 EUR to the Consortium. Similarly, if a company upgrades from Bronze (1000 EUR / year) to Gold (4000 EUR / year), the fund will contribute a one-time amount of 3000 EUR. This campaign will take place until the end of 2016, or until the fund is depleted. Currently, the fund totals 21000 EUR, a sum which is graciously supported by three companies: - LabWare Inc (http://labware.com) - ObjectProfile (http://objectprofile.com) - feenk gmbh (http://feenk.com) This is an exciting development that paves the way to attract more industrial interest around Pharo. Please help us by spreading the word about this campaign. Cheers, The Pharo Board

[ANN] Simple FogBugz Search tool in Pharo
by Torsten Bergmann March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Hi, played with the JSON API of Pharo FogBugz issue tracker with the outcome of another little Pharo tool that lets you: - login to FogBugz from Pharo - enter a string and search for according issues - open a browser on a selected issue in the result list (works on Linux and Win so far) The project repo is at: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/FogBugz One can use the client also directly: |client| client := FogBugzClient loginUser: 'abc(a)def.com' password: 'secret'. (client query: 'UFFI') inspect. client logout You can download the tool in latest Pharo 5 (50660 or later) from catalog or by opening the Spotter and entering "FogBugz", wait and hitting ENTER. Attached is a screenshot. Enjoy T.

If you send #dataAvailable to the socket, you'll find that it has data ready to be read, but its readSemaphore has no signal. does it happen if you have strace -o output.txt -f on the VM as well? kind regards holger
