I've stuck a version (5.8b12) of the cocoa based os-x squeak cog JIT based VM in my experimental folder.

This is based on the latest Cog VM source (oct 10/10/10).
Changes to the support logic:
(a) Supply file create/mod times & size based on target of symbolic link versus the link file node. (b) Untrusted directory was set wrong, use same default value as 4.2.x VM ~/Library/Preferences/Squeak/Internet/My Squeak/ (c) There is no -pathenc option (d) Attempt to integrate changes into Cog branch to allow you to compile VM from the Cog branch. *** This does not work yet, 90% there, Eliot and I still have some pencil sharping to do... ***
Now the big news is that I pushed a version of the Squeak Cog stack VM to the Apple App Store!
It's rough, but it's a candidate for review by Apple's special App review committee. It does not have socket support and we are seeing if they allow us to move image/change files in and out of the Documents folder via a desktop machine. I should know more by next weekend.
If accepted then I am looking to the Smalltalk community to help in building a viable image to allow people to edit source code on an iPad.
Lastly, yes something broken in open/gl on os-x 10.4 I hope to look at the issue this week.
I have to download the LocalePlugin to get the correct timezone offset (otherwise I get a primitive failure) but I guess that's to be expected. Otherwise it seems to work. Cheers Philippe
