HI Jannik,

Nice, note there is a typo on the page "Phrao 2.0" instead of "Pharo 2.0".
Would also be nice if these were real links to pharo.org

Bye
T.

Betreff: [Pharo-dev] Phratch Website + version 3.0 in dev

Dear all,
 
I am pleased to announce Phratch website: www.phratch.com[http://www.phratch.com]

Thanks to the support of ESUG, it is possible to make visible this wonderful project.
 
For now, what is available on the site:
- a presentation of Phratch (you can refer to it now)
- installation files, there is a portable version for Windows, Linux, MacOS.
- tutorials
- block documentation: generated from a Phratch image !
- Some elements for Jetstorm (a lot of new articles will come soon)
- a category with news
 
Now about the versions, I am developing the version 3.0
Why this number ? Why a third version in one year of work ?
It is clear that a lot of work is already done. Each version represents strong changes in the architecture.
- version 1.0 is the port of Scratch + BYOB + Panther in Pharo. It is working but not extendable.

- version 2.0 makes Phratch really extendable. We can develop our own block for everything in Pharo. I also make Phratch more modular with the use of Pragmas for some menus, declaration of blocks… It is available only in Pharo 3.0. There are some languages available, I hope more people can translate in other languages (http://www.phratch.com/archives/612[http://www.phratch.com/archives/612]).

- version 3.0 is the version in development. What is new here: Before this version Phratch was really slow. I am cleaning the code, and now it begins to be fast, really fast ! We also begun to write tests.
 
I am really happy to have the support of ESUG and Pharo.
Thanks to the community to make Pharo as usable as it it, it makes our dreams possible.
 
Cheers,--
