Hi guys I asked igor to do a pre pre pre pre release of athens and then perform regular ones so that you can follow what he is doing and get excited. Because this is getting along and will open a lot of perspective. The idea is that igor is working since september on Athens: a new canvas and a smalltalk backend to support it. The challenge are: - how can we get a zoomable vector graphics system? with for examples back end in Cairo/opengl. - what are the good abstractions to support that? Igor is then working on a "simple" text model and canvas so that we can emit instructions for vector graphics back-ends. Stef
This is cool! There is a real need for it Alexandre Le 31 oct. 2011 à 07:06, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> a écrit :

The text rendering is most complex part. And it going very slow, slower than i thought. Apart from text, there's a lot things to think about. But what i want to do right now is to implement enough functionality to fully render morphic desktop in pharo. And then we can discuss what else we need as well as what we dont need :) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
Sounds like a good plan! Alexandre On 31 Oct 2011, at 13:21, Igor Stasenko wrote:

Igor let wild people have a look. Provide a script so that people can load and a bunch of examples. Stef On Oct 31, 2011, at 5:21 PM, Igor Stasenko wrote:
