[Pharo-project] ST80 Pharo smalltalk based ebook for iphone goes to 1.1.0
After 10 days of waiting Apple has approved for sale my ST80Docs iPhone app, which is the Pharo based source code eBook. http://mobilewikiserver.com/ST80Docs.html Lurking under the covers is really a Pharo1.0beta-10401web09.07.5 image/changes/source which comes from Aug 8th 2009 which is wrapped with some UIKit UI code from WikiServer and some modifications to the Seaside code browser app to enable code browsing from a read only perspective and will actually work with Mobile Safari on the iPhone. This replaces alpha version of Pharo dated early April 09 which was in the 1.0.0 ST80Docs product. The html generator is now 30% faster so the application is more responsive. {Well actually the VM is 30% faster because I forgot a compiler setting when building the 1.0.0 product, and on a iPhone 3G most of the time is taken by javascript consuming the menu items that list the 100's of methods etc for a class} PS I did tap update to upgrade from 10401 but it hung at some point in loading the latest changes back on Aug 8th, so I abandon that idea and stuck with the *approved* 10401 version. Obviously when Pharo 1.0 production ships I will again update the application as soon as the Seaside/Pier folks build the official web version. If anyone wants some USA promo codes for a test run, you can email me not the list for them -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.
