Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 19 June 2017 to 25 June 2017. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=19/6/2017&to=25/6/2017 ChangeLog ========= 21 June 2017: ------------- * Succeed!! I made [iceberg](http://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg) to work on 64bits! Now, I need to promote a new VM as stable (and probably backported it to Pharo 6.0) * After 1.5 days still working on 64bits version of [iceberg](http://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg) and that annoying malloc crash. Last idea was the believing something is wrong with sizes and marshallings so I verified all: * I reviewed all structures and callbacks. * I took a look to each function call. I got some differences that needed to be fixed and perticularly a lot of +size_t+ that were wrongly mapped as +FFIUInt32+ and I have some movement: it is not crashing anymore on malloc (which is a relief), but is still crashing someplace later. I'm now reviewing that. 19 June 2017: ------------- * I spent the full day trying to get [iceberg](http://github.com/pharo-vcs-iceberg) to work on 64bits. Is almost working... if it wouldn't be because I'm having a random crash while trying to +malloc+ something random. We'll see tomorrow. cheers! Esteban

Great news. Thanks for your persistence. cheers -ben P.S. And shows the benefit in an open source project of having paid engineers to work on the hard stuff.
