Release deferred to next Tuesday :(
Hi list, yes, this release is being a pain. anyway, yesterday after asking for testI found two blocking issues and one ânice to haveâ and I needed to work on them. Blocking issues were: 1) Athens (with Fonts ) was not working on 64bits and because of that, Roassal was not either. 2) There is a problem in VM packaging which packages as files what should be symlinks.\ The nice to have: It seems there are english problems in the welcome browser (and in the STAGE pages). It would be nice if some native speaker takes a look :) I already fixed (1) and Iâm working on (2), but the release is deferred to Tuesday because: a) we want to test. b) you never release on friday c) monday is holiday here :) So well, that. Iâm sorry. Esteban
Hi, Thanks for the update Esteban. There is also the issue of typing on macOS Sierra: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/141 It is really annoying (at least for me), but I think we can treat this one as something that can be dealt with later and once itâs fixed we change the 6.0 VM. What do you think? Cheers, Doru

this is not a pharo bug in general so it should not stop the release. I will promote a new vm to stable if things are ok, and that one will have a -possible- fix (but no idea, we will need to test). cheers, Esteban
