Thank you Marcus and all the contributors for the update and continuously improving Pharo. FYI I copy pasted the email into 2 AIs (ChatGPT and Claude) the email, and prompted them to make a summary. ChatGPT output was useless. Claude's one is more interesting. So, I'm sharing it with you below. I also asked them to make a mind map of the news list. Here, ChatGPT, made the more intersting result, though the texts are poor. Attached. Best, Noury --- Here's a summary of the key updates from Pharo's weekly news and issue tracker: Major Updates: - New VM release v10.3.3 - Updates to Pharo 11 and 12 baselines (Iceberg v2.2.3, NewTools v0.9.1, Spec v1.3.5) - Fuel update for Pharo 13 Notable Improvements: - Fixed tenured primitives and timestamp parsing - Enhanced word navigation and protocol removal in Calypso - Added password support in SpRequestDialog - Integrated Welcome Browser into NewTools - Added drag & drop support to inspectors Cleanup & Infrastructure: - Reorganized compiler tests - Improved build process (Roassal/NewTools loading sequence) - Removed deprecated code and redundant features - Enhanced ColorPicker integration - Multiple fixes to Spec framework Development Tools: - New snapshot browser in Iceberg - Improved error messages in Tonel - Multiple NewTools enhancements including playground size memorization - Better metadata support in Spec presenters A spotter survey is currently open for community feedback.
