[ANN] New Glorp Port

by Guillermo Polito

I'm glad to announce a first stable version of the new Glorp Port, from VW 7.7.1. The port has been integrated with the DBXTalk Driver (before known as SqueakDBX), and tested on the following platforms: MySql: 872 tests run, 18 errors, 6 failures PostgreSQL: 872 tests, 18 errors, 6 failures Oracle: 872 tests, 21 errors, 5 failures. Most of the errors are caused by stuff the DBXTalk Driver does not support yet, like LOBS. Also, there are some bugs yet I have to attack and learn how to get rid of, hehe. One think to be careful of yet is the licencing (or how it should be written). Glorp licence today is LGPL, but in the way to be MIT :). So, if you want to download and try it, evaluate in a workspace, in Pharo 1.2 and 1.3, Gofer it squeaksource: 'DBXTalk'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX'; load. (ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX project version: #stable) load And start playing! I think I'll become the new port mantainer, so feedback, bug reports and everything else is appreciated. BTW, documentation and some new tools are on the way too. Guille :)

So this chapter in itself needs to be reworked. That's the next step. I'm wondering. Does people take a look at this online book from time to time? Do you think it's a valuable tool? Personally I would love to see a doc website with the API/comment extracted from source code and tests, and people commenting to enhance/points to relevant information - a bit like the CODT contest - this could later be integrated in the source code, etc, and you have the round trip. Bonus if people can use an online sandbox and run harmless doits in the browser :) I always think it's a good to have such exposition on the web. -- Simon Denier
