sure no problem. Lukas. I sent the mail because this is an important point. I think that we should also understand what is a good amount of time between two releases. On Dec 21, 2009, at 12:20 PM, Lukas Renggli wrote:
Lukas, is there a particular reason why you want/need your stuff to work also with 1.1?
The initial trigger for this discussion was Stef asking me to use #chooseOrRequestFrom: for creating protocols in OB. This method was a recently added to morphic in Pharo 1.1 and is used in the old ST-80 browser to create new method protocols with one click. I would love to add it to OB, but since this requires Pharo 1.1 I cannot.
I don't think it makes sense to adapt and fix the external packages that are in Pharo (of which you maintain a few) as long as PharoCore is in alpha state.
I do not complain, I completely agree with the Pharo development process. It is great what you are doing.
I was telling Stef that I cannot take advantage of the cool new dialogs right now, but only when there is a release candidate for Pharo 1.1. Also I was hoping that I could use Helvetia directly in Pharo 1.1, maybe together with a proposal for making the compiler tool-chain easier to plug-in. However since Helvetia depends on RB and OB that would mean that I had to fork these two projects. Something I cannot do right now.
