For those following along at home, we are definitely doing the Advanced Algorithms course in Smalltalk using Pharo 1.3, so this has become a critical path for me - see below. On Dec 15, 2011, at 2:24 AM, Serge Stinckwich wrote:

Additionally, the PBE book doesn't play well with 1.3 (things that the book says die when you try them).
is the PBE book getting updated to work with a vanilla 1.3/1.4 image?
There is no plan at the moment to do that, but you could help adapt the Pharo Book to the new images. Maybe we can have branches for each version of Pharo ? pharo1.2, pharo1.3, etc â¦
I've imported the git repo into a local mercurial one, and we'll work from that. On Dec 15, 2011, at 05:17, Oscar Nierstrasz wrote:
Sure, that would be great, but please be aware that you must also check that the examples (and tests) work as advertised.
If someone wants to do this please contact me, and I can give some advice and help ...
I have 2 grad students who are working through PBE and will be TAs for the course. They will work through each of the examples in 1.3 and correct discrepancies. I'll check for language and wording, and commit the results. I'm hoping this will be nearly complete by early January. I'll commit the results back to github.

yes this would be really good to have a branch
We'll be working on 1.3 only. If useful, someone could go through and decide whether the 1.1 or 1.3 version is more appropriate for each example in 1.2, but I presume that isn't as useful. Going forward, we'll probably update it for 1.4 when it's stable. ../Dave
