Estebanâs list of blocking issues for release Pharo 6.0 (updated to April 10)
Hello, This are the pending issues for release Pharo 6.0: VM: === - NEW: there is a problem with latest VM and primitiveFindSubstring that needs to be fixed. - make all tests pass (there are still some failing tests when compiling a new VM). - libgit2: Still not there, Jan and Ben were trying and sent some suggestions but I still didnât had the time to test it. Image: ===== - iceberg hit the image Fixed last week: --------------------- - win32, cairo fonts problem - leak revision by Pavel (and of course several issues not mentioned in the list). Next: - Make the release! - Test the new process and tape some videos explaining how we will contribute with a bootstrapped process using github :) By the way⦠this is a list we have to accomplish in order to make a release (so you know our pain): - Prepare release notes Image: - add welcome browser - generate PharoV60.sources - move SystemVersion - prepare new ScriptLoader70 package (in theory, this will not needed anymore but better to have it as a backup :P) VM: - stable for 6.0 release WebSite: - Update index - Update download page Infrastructure: - ZeroConf: Open new 7.0 development - SmalltalkCI: Open new 7.0 development - Create platform stable versions - Jenkins: move all CI projects to Pharo 7.0 (again some will not needed anymore, notable those moved to travis, but still) - And talking about travis: prepare all new process on github/travis/appveyor Pub: - announce post - announce mail - post to YC, Reddit ⦠and Iâm sure Iâm forgetting a lot more I will remember in the process of making the release. (which is one of the reasons why we do not have âmore releases in a yearâ) Anyway, do not despair⦠we are almost there! cheers! Esteban
Hi Esteban, Is there a chance to have a fully working SDL2? (remember that conflicting issue with main window) I am just curious :) Cheers, Alex On 10 April 2017 at 09:20, Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm@gmail.com> wrote:

Sorry, no. Last time that was made by replacing the complete Cocoa backend (from OpenGL to CoreGraphics). While that can be done, it is not realist it will arrive for Pharo 6.0 at all. Esteban
