Hi, Marcus and I have updated the contribute page: http://pharo.org/contribute-events <http://pharo.org/contribute-events> And I have just released Pharo Sprint App version 0.2.0: http://bit.ly/PharoSprintApp <http://bit.ly/PharoSprintApp> (Discord sprint channel includes the link) To run it, you need Pharo 6.0 VM Thanks everyone for the early feedback. I was able to include some of them to the release. Have a fun. I will join you at 9:00 UTC-4 time.

IMPORTANT: iceberg home changed

by Esteban Lorenzano

As part of our work for release, I changed the home of Iceberg into his own place: https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg So, now to install you will need: Metacello new baseline: 'Iceberg'; repository: 'github://pharo-vcs/iceberg:dev-0.4'; load. I also uploaded a Configuration to the *catalog>http://catalog.pharo.org*, so you can load while doing the transition.

Hello, I have finally added a configuration to the NeuralNetwork project. Now you can use this Metacello script to load it into your Pharo image: Metacello new repository: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Oleks/NeuralNetwork/main'; configuration: 'MLNeuralNetwork'; version: #development; load.

JSON is text, using a specific encoding indeed. Since the JSON comes in and is parsed OK, it is safe to assume the textual decoding went fine. The problem is that the server sends binary data in a string without us knowing how it encoded them.

It is also possible that ZnEasy is doing some encoding transformations that breaks it; after all, you are retrieving binary data as text data, so encoding should be applied on it.

Maybe the content is not properly stored in the JSON on github' side? But you can use base64 in `accept:` to make it work. json := STONJSON fromString: (ZnClient new url: 'https://api.github.com/gists/5503544'; accept: 'application/vnd.github.v3.base64+json'; get). b64 := ((json at: 'files') at: 'thumbnail.png') at: 'content'.

Re: [Pharo-users] State of Tabular package ?

by phil＠highoctane.be

I am using it for accessing data from XLSX files and it works with several sheets etc. I found XLSX creation to have limits in terms of many sheets one can do (kind of hardcoded up to 3 or something). It is definitely a package worth some love. Phil On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 4:53 PM, Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven(a)stfx.eu> wrote: > Hi, > > Does anyone know what the state of the Tabular package is ?

State of Tabular package ?

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Hi, Does anyone know what the state of the Tabular package is ? Is it maintained ? Kept to date ? It feels a bit unpolished, lacks documentation. I am using it for XLS report generation and it does seem to work fine for simple tables. Sven

Re: [Pharo-users] Sending byte array in a JSON format

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

I am puzzled by how they actually encoded the PNG as a String, I tried a couple of alternatives but I could not get binary data out of it so that it parsed successfully as PNG.

Epicea vs RB refactorings

by Peter Uhnak

Hi, I'm under the impression that Epicea is supposed to replace RB refactorings at some point. If that is true, is it currently possible to build refactorings by hand? For example in RB I often do: ``` model := RBNamespace new. model defineClass: ('<1s> subclass: #<2s><n><t>instanceVariableNames: <3p><n><t>classVariableNames: ''''<n><t>poolDictionaries: ''''<n><t>category: <4p>' expandMacrosWith: 'Object' with: 'MySomething' with: 'var1 var2' with: 'MyPackage'). cls := model classNamed: #MySomething. cls compile: 'var1 ^ var1' classified: 'accessing'. (ChangesBrowser changes: model changes changes) open ``` or (removing a method from a class) ``` model := RBNamespace new. model removeMethod: #testTrimRight from: StringTest. (ChangesBrowser changes: model changes changes) open ``` Thanks, Peter

Doesn't matter as next returns if there is less than required. groups := OrderedCollection new. input := (String loremIpsum: 20). input readStream in: [ :s | [s atEnd] whileFalse: [ groups add: (s next: 7) ]]. groups.
