Hi

I was browsing through the draft chapter for Pharo By Example describing the
Omnibrowser architecture
(https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/27418/Omnibrowser.pdf). One of the
screenshots (Figure 1.5 in the PDF) shows a browser with Back, Forward and
History Buttons i.e. navigation history features.

There are several browser for Pharo. PharoCore uses one, and in PharoDev we are using Omnibrowser, a.k.a OB.
There is ANOTHER browser called O2

That "history� feature" is part of O2, not OB.� O2 used to load in Pharo (indeed, it was the defaul at the very beginning of Pharo 1.0). But nowadays, its developr nor nobody� maintain it, so it doesn't load/works correctly in Pharo 1.2 anymore.

My specific questions:

1) What happened to this version of the browser? Is it possible to load the
navigation history feature into the latest version of Pharo? I am currently
using Pharo 1.2

No. You need to update O2 and make it work in Pharo 1.2� or try to add such feature to OB.

2) The paper "Tackling Software Navigation Issues of the Smalltalk IDE" by
R�thlisberger et al
(http://www.bergel.eu/download/papers/Berg09d-SmalltalkIDE.pdf) implemented
several useful features for code navigation in the Smalltalk IDE.

Was their work ever ported to Pharo? Hopefully the authors of the paper are
reading this list and can comment. The paper was very interesting for me
because it described and proposed solutions for problems that I have
encountered with code navigation in Smalltalk.

Thanks!
