Are you both impatient and conservative (and apparently confused) like me? I want to use the stable release of Pharo with the best new features of the alpha version. Also, do you ever think of cool enhancements to the IDE that for whatever reason have not made it into the release? Well, I've been collecting these things into ConfigurationOfPharoSpd. There are many little parts, which you can load with: Gofer it squeaksource3: 'PharoSpd'; package: 'ConfigurationOfPharoSpd'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPharoSpd) load. Here is a screenshot of its little browser showing the issues which have been addressed (gray means the issue is not applicable to the current image version, green means the fix has been applied): There are also a bunch of little IDE enhancements. This one is one of my favorites. Instead of sprinkling method comments like "self open" in every class-side unary method, there are Nautilus menu items to send them (and optionally inspect the result): Or you can add a boilerplate ComposableModel to a package: And some extension methods I find myself using often, like: * String>>surroundedByDoubleQuotes * DateAndTime>>printUS, which returns a string like '6/18/2013 @ 9:20 am' * ZnNetworkingUtils>>isPortAvailable: (doesn't take ip6 into account) Anyway, enjoy! Feedback welcome...
