Hi,
 Aleph is the fantasy name of the index manager. Basically, it is a
set of indexes we are using on the image.
As Esteban said, everything should work in Pharo 8, but it requires
harvesting some changes I have made in the Pharo 9 image, so I will
try to do it this week.

Today I will try to fix some of the issues while generating the
indexes the first time. The only issue is that it takes a lot of time,
I want to reduce it to something usable.

Cheers,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,

Great news! We are eager to test this. Do you plan to backport the changes for the large images to Pharo8.0? Or should we try a 9.0 to try it?

Also, what is Aleph? (I cannot find a description in this list thread...)

Cheers,

Monday morning, so I spam to tell what I have done last week for Pharo.

### Last week:

- Integrating Spotter processors with Aleph
- Testing problem with Pharo8 and Metacello loading.
- Debugging problem with SDL in OSX Pharo8 VM
