[Pharo-project] 1.3, PBE and lab setups
I am trying to get our local admins to set up labs so students can use the latest Pharo. Currently we have 1.2 and PBE .image files and by removing the field in the INI file that specified the image, if you clicked on Pharo, you'd get a dialogue asking which image you wanted. All of these are on read-only mounts, so if you want to save to the image, you need to copy the image to your home directory and then you could navigate to that image file on startup. Dropping an image on the executable works fine, though. Additionally, the PBE book doesn't play well with 1.3 (things that the book says die when you try them). Apparently you can't open the PBE image from the 1.3 binary without it crashing, either. So I have 3 questions: 1) is 1.3 the system to use, or will 1.4 be stable soon? 2) is the PBE book getting updated to work with a vanilla 1.3/1.4 image? 3) what is the timeline on these, as our semester starts Jan 10. Thanks ../Dave

use 1.3 :)
2) is the PBE book getting updated to work with a vanilla 1.3/1.4 image?
No if nobody does it. We are focusing on PBE2
3) what is the timeline on these, as our semester starts Jan 10.
:) I would love to see the exercises that you will ask them.
Thanks ../Dave

There is no plan at the moment to do that, but you could help adapt the Pharo Book to the new images. All the contents of the book is here: https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoByExample-english Maybe we can have branches for each version of Pharo ? pharo1.2, pharo1.3, etc ...

Ok, who is willing to help for adapting the Pharo by Example book to Pharo 1.4 ? I could add a branch for Pharo 1.0 for the old version and we could use master branch for Pharo 1.4.
