Hi, Guys,

I'm not (yet) working on Pharo (still VW and some VisualSmalltalk in the few time left free from my main job), but I follow what you do (not just you but all the community) and I have to admit you (all) work really hard. Bergel is doing a fantastic job, and your Moose is very nice, etc. But, I really liked the presentation of the GT stuff, I can understand the energy you put behind your work.

Great work. I'm happy you are on the ST community and working on the language (ST) i like the most. Thanks! (Oh, I know you don't like to have Pharo called Smalltalk, but I don't like religion's wars, so that is yet smalltalk, for me).

BTW: Happy Holidays to all.

Giorgio

We are happy to announce Moose 5.0: *http://moosetechnology.org/#install*

Description ---

This is by far the most extensive Moose release to date. Just take a look at these two trailers. - Spotter: https://vimeo.com/113832673 - Inspector: https://vimeo.com/103463364

The key highlights are: - It is based on Pharo 3.0. - Roassal2 is a complete reimplementation of the core visual engine of Moose. - Roassal2 replaced Roassal, EyeSee and Graph-ET, and it features many new things including smooth animations, new composeable builders and several new layouts. - All built-in Moose visualizations use Roassal2. - Glamour has been extended with a Pager browser and with Rubric as the main text editor. - GTSpotter is a new tool that makes it possible to find objects fast. - GTInspector saw major usability improvements based on the Pager browser, and it now comes with many object specific extensions. - GTPlayground provides a new way to handle scripts and when combined with GTInspector, it can replace the dedicated easels and editors. - Moose Finder has been extended with the ability of handling in place visualizations. - GTDebugger has been strengthen and was made more robust. - PetitParser has been extended with the notion of context which enables elegant island parsing.
