Hi,
Thanks for the question :).
Indeed, the summary of Stef is quite good.
Here are some additions: - Indeed, Bloc gets stable. Recently, we learned that we can optimize the layouts even more and Alex Syrel will work on that in the next couple of weeks, but this will not impact users.
can't this be done later? I would prefer that making Bloc and Brick usable is the first target. Norbert
- We have just finished an alpha version of the editor that is both moldable and scalable. Itâs alpha because there are still things to fine tune in the area of selection, insertion and deletion. - Having an editor is significant step because it is the most expensive (and the riskiest) widget mechanism. - After the layouts and editor we will focus on the model for interaction and animation of widgets and play with various classes of applications. - In the meantime, Theo Mugnier worked with Alain Plantec and did a brilliant job at providing an initial version of a SVG import-export. There are still things to do, but this is really cool work.
I prefer to not go into estimations because I prefer to allow for the space to build crazy things, but we will work intensively on Bloc and Brick over the coming months, likely well into next year.
Cheers, Doru

Hi Torsten
I will let Doru present it in more detail but I think that he is in vacation. Now here is my take from the discussion I got at ESUG.
- Bloc is getting stable and people should really start to use it. This is why we did the bloc tutorial. We need more on that front. I plan to use it for some projects during the lectures I will give at Prague. BTW I would like to have a turtle for my new book. :)
- Brick The text editor was a really important element to build widgets. The text editor model is basically the second iteration based on TxText attempt. It scales well.
As soon as we start to have widgets we should do a Spec mapping and see how we can get rid of the middle man (the adapter should not be used at runtime).
Bloc and Brick are not on the Pharo 70 roadmap because the process should be fixed before. But we would love to have bloc and brick as preview.
Esteban is currently working with Ronnie for the SDL integration, headless image and others.

what is the current status of Bloc and Brick? How likely is it that Bloc goes into Pharo 7?
Anyone able to give a short update on current work and plans?
Thanks T.
