Some status: The Preview is functional (all tests passing:) on GemStone (included in base for GLASS 1.0-beta.9), Squeak 4.3 through 4.5 (is Squeak4.5 the trunk?) and Pharo 1.1 through 1.4. Christophe Demarey is helping me port the Metacello Preview/Metacello Scripting API to Pharo2.0. For the Squeak guys ... I did finally address the bug that was bugging me, but I'm still interested in some real world feedback ... There are a handful of users, but I haven't gotten enough bug reports to satisfy me that it is being beaten on:) Dale ----- Original Message ----- | From: "DeNigris Sean" <sean@clipperadams.com> | To: pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr, "The general-purpose Squeak developers list" | <squeak-dev@lists.squeakfoundation.org> | Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 9:15:40 AM | Subject: [squeak-dev] Metacello Preview | | [cross posted to pharo-project and squeak-dev] | | Dale has done some really cool work on Metacello! From the original | announcement at | http://forum.world.st/Metacello-Preview-release-1-0-beta-32-2-td4642064.html | : | | | The Metacello Preview release provides the following features: | | - Metacello Scripting API (user guide[1] and reference[2]) | - Metacello-Base package for inclusion in Squeak/Pharo base images | - support for git and GitHub (filetree:// and github:// repository loaded) | | In typical Dale fashion, he wants to provide our community with as much value | as possible, so he's been tentative to release his "preview" version until | he gets feedback from users and can tailor it to our real-world needs. | | I feel, after checking with Dale, that integrating the preview into Pharo and | Squeak trunk now will provide a balance between exposure and malleability, | to make sure we have an API we'll all love by the next respective releases. | | Cheers, | Sean | | |
