Fuel 1.7 vs Fuel 1.8 questions
by Paul DeBruicker May 27, 2012

May 27, 2012

Is there a strong reason to switch to 1.8 vs 1.7 other than the fact that 1.8 is the new hotness? I remember that you made no guarantees but are Fuel 1.7 and Fuel 1.8 serialized formats compatible? If not is there a recommended process to switch from one format to the other? I'd assume starting from a clean pharo you could: 1. load Fuel 1.7 2. materialize all the interesting Fuel 1.7 objects 3. removing Fuel 1.7 4. load Fuel 1.8 5. serialize all the interesting objects in Fuel 1.8 I have not looked at the code but is there a way to do a streaming 'serialize to byte array' in conjunction with Zinc for populating a database? Thanks for your work on this.

Zinc/Zodiac Documentation
by Sven Van Caekenberghe May 27, 2012

May 27, 2012

Hi, Now that I have recovered from the intensive Pharo Conference, I found the time to publish the Zinc and Zodiac documentation. The two main websites have been updated: http://zn.stfx.eu http://zdc.stfx.eu My slides are here http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/zn-talk-pharo-conference.pdf http://zdc.stfx.eu/zdc-talk-pharo-conference.pdf The documentation (as Pharo Conference paper and draft chapter for Pharo By Example 2) are here http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/zinc-http-components-paper.html http://zdc.stfx.eu/zodiac-paper.html For some inexplicable reason, Google Chrome is extremely slow doing the syntax highlighting on the long Zn paper/chapter, so here is an alternative version http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/zinc-http-components-paper.no-js.html Enjoy!

got focus how to?
by Hilaire Fernandes May 23, 2012

May 23, 2012

Hello, I need to take an action when an arbitrary morph got the keyboard focus (a text morph). How can I set up such an action for a given morph? Of course I don't want to override the given morph. Ideally I want to pass a block of code to execute whenever the focus changes. Thanks Hilaire

Nautilus Subclassing Behavior?
by Daniel Uber May 22, 2012

May 22, 2012

I ran into a surprise today, and I'm not sure if it's by design or accident that I found it. In Pharo-2.0, if I'm in Nautilus looking at class side definitions, and I click on the class to Refactoring -> Class Refactoring -> Generate Subclass..., I find that a subclass is attempting to be created on MetaObject, which fails due to not understanding the #category message. This is not the same behavior as happens when looking at instance side, which created a named subclass of the class being viewed. If this is wrong behavior, I will open an issue. If this is something that surprised me because I'm new, I'd be happy to hear a rationale, and I will open an issue, since the option fails, it should either not be present, or not send category. I guess I'd just like to know what the expected behavior is when creating a subclass and viewing class side in the browser. Thanks, Daniel Uber
