Mein Vorschlag ist wahrscheinlich ungewÃ¶hnlich. Ich mÃ¶chte es Ihnen trotzdem unterbreiten. Ich besitze eine kleine GmbH mit Schwerpunkt Entwicklung von Programmierwerkzeugen und eine BranchenlÃ¶sung fÃ¼r die Abfallwirtschaft. Wenn es Sie interessiert schauen Sie doch bitte einfach auf http://contfakt.q-software-solutions.de/ Was hat das nun mit Ihrer Ausschreibung zu tun. Es ist geplant diese LÃ¶sung auf eine webbasierte LÃ¶sung umzustellen. Und ich habe mich nach langem EntscheidungsprozeÃ dazu durchgerungen es mit Smalltalk abzuwickeln, hauptsÃ¤chlich weil ich: http://www.e-racuni.com/homepage/WikiPage?page=Home&lang=English gefunden haben. Diese Firma benutzt nicht gerade Seaside aber etwas Vergleichbares. Nun ja so wie ich das sehe sind Sie absolute Spezialisten aus diesem Bereich, somit hoffe ich, daÃ Sie mich vielleicht bei der Portierung unterstÃ¼tzen kÃ¶nnten. So wird derzeit an zwei Modulen gearbeitet. An einem EANV Modul (eine deutsche "spezialitÃ¤t" (elektronsiche abfallnachweisverfahren) und ich arbeite mich derzeit in das obige genannte Framwork ein um damit ein Waage Modul zu portieren. Nun ja es ist aber nicht festgelegt, daÃ ich hier nicht Seaside benutze. Wegen der derzeitigen unmÃ¶glichen politischen Entscheidungen in Deutschland, suche ich derzeit die MÃ¶glichkeit umzusiedeln. Die Schweiz ist dabei weit oben auf der Liste aber auch Neuseeland oder Australien. Ich habe aber mehrere Kunden auch in der Schweiz und sollte ich wirklich auswandern und meine GmbH behalten wollen, suchte ich nach Partnern die hier vor Ort den Support leisten kÃ¶nnten. Daher handelt es sich nicht um eine direktes nachfragen nach Ihrem Angebot, sondern ich suche eigentlich Gleichgesinnte fÃ¼r die Entwicklung von Web Anwendungen... WÃ¤re es eventuell fÃ¼r Sie interessant hier nach einer Zusammenarbeit zu suchen und/oder Ihr "portfolio" um eine Portierung der Contfakt Software auf Webtechnologien zu erweitern? WÃ¤ren Sie ins Blaue gedacht an einer Zweigniederlassung in AUS/NZ interessiert? Es ist zwar nicht direkt mit Ihrem CMS verbunden, nur kÃ¶nnte ich mir vorstellen, daÃ es auch eine Basis fÃ¼r eine Software im Bereich des Abfallindustrie oder auch Transportindustrie bilden kÃ¶nnte. Viele Anwendungen die derzeit noch "nativ" laufen dÃ¼rften von einem Baukasten fÃ¼r "betriebwirtschaftliche" Anwendungen interessant sein. Nur weiÃ ich selbverstÃ¤ndlich nicht ob das ein ansprechender Bereich fÃ¼r Sie wÃ¤re. Wenn ich Sie mit dieser Mail belÃ¤stigt haben sollte, bitte ich das zu entschuldigen. Sollten Sie prinzipiell an einer Mitarbeit interessiert sein, wÃ¼rde mich das natÃ¼rlich sehr freuen.

Hi Pharaoers. I am pleased to announce the first Pharo 1.1 beta based on PharoCore-1.1-11367-Beta. It is the first time we build a Pharo 1.1 dev image with PharoCore 1.1 so the image may be not 100% stable. However, we think it is good to release it so that people can start to test it, load their own packages, adapt them, etc. We would like to receive feedback about it. It (yet) has failing and error tests. The main changes with Pharo 1.0 is that of course, it is based on a PharoCore 1.1 with all that it means. We started to write down some of the actions done in PharoCore 1.1. The list so far can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/ActionsInPharoOneDotOne Of course, for the stable releae of Pharo 1.1 we will do a clear list in the website as we did for 1.0. Regarding the included packages in 1.1 we added ScriptManager (a tool to manage and persist workspaces), ProfStefBrowser, ArchiveViewer, MethodWrappers and ObjectMetaTools (which includes things like ProtocolCatcher, ObjectTracer, ObjectViewer, etc). Another difference is the font. In Pharo 1.0 we used TrueType fonts by default. In Pharo 1.1 we use StrikeFonts (no need of TrueType plugin, netiher to have the fonts). However, of course, you can disable StrikeFonts and put TrueType like in 1.0. That's all. We would really appreciate you use it, test it, report issues, provide fixes, etc. It is important also that you start to use your own packages/applications. There have been several changes in 1.1 that may require change in your code. Ahh if you want to create the image yourself, check as usually the installScript.st file to see how to do it. Actually, you can just take a PharoCore-1.1-11367-Beta image and evaluate (the same procedure as 1.0): Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfPharo'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPharo) project version: '1.1-beta1.10517') load.

Flushing the VM method cache?

by Joachim Geidel

Hello all, The software I am working on generates classes on the fly, and discards those classes when they are no longer needed. The class library is cross-platform, i.e. it exists for Dolphin and VisualWorks, and I am currently porting it to Pharo. In Dolphin, it is necessary to flush the VM's method cache after discarding all the dynamically generated classes, because the method cache holds references to the classes which prevent them from being garbage collected. For VisualWorks, I have adopted this, although I am not quite sure if it's actually needed there. In the Pharo 1.0 image, I haven't found a method for flushing the VM's method cache in one go, there only seems to be Behavior>>flushCache. What I would like to know is: - Does the VM method cache of the Squeak VM hold references to classes which prevent an obsolete class from being garbage collected? If this is not the case, I don't need to flush anything. - If flushing the cache is advisable, is Behavior>>flushCache the only way to do this? I would have to pick up all the obsolete classes and iterate over them in that case. Thanks in advance! Joachim Geidel
