Pharo 9 Unicode
by TomaÅ¾ Turk July 7, 2020

July 7, 2020

Dear all, I noticed that in various Pharo 9.0 builds that I have Unicode characters above 255 are not displayed correctly if displayed by Print It, inspector or otherwise processed by code. They are displayed correctly if typed directly into editor, e.g. Playground. This is a result from Print It: This is from Pharo 8.0: Best wishes, Tomaz

Re: [Pharo-users] [Esug-list] new Pharo success story :)

Hello hennie I do not know but what they are doing is really advanced and most of their work is private for the french gov. And advanced gestures and tactil screens were not available back in 89 :) What would be sad is that it would NOT be done in Pharo but in JS like or Java FX. Donât you think? Of course it can be sad to see things that have been already done, redone. You see Pharo is not a proprietary system so sometimes we are forced to reinvent the wheel but this is an open-source wheel. :) So we get sometimes feedback like it is already available in X or Z, but proprietary code is not available It does not exist except for paying clients. For us we even consider GNU licensed code as forbidden to stay clean. Pharo is following a pure and cristal clear MIT license, it means that people can take the code and do whatever they want, even contribute back or not. Do not hesitate to have fun with us because with Pharo we are really trying to push forward and let people invent what they want and change the world. You can discuss with us on https://discord.gg/QewZMZa <https://discord.gg/QewZMZa> S.

STON question
by Russ Whaley July 2, 2020

July 2, 2020

Good morning all from stormy Ohio/USA. Hope everyone is well and sheltering effectively from COVID, etc. I have a STON question. FIrst off, I LOVE STON. It has been the answer to my (minimal) persistence needs. I'm writing two different applications, both of which I hope to distribute someday, and I struggled with what would work to save configurations, templates, status, etc. STON was the answer for me - it's very easy to install and simple to use. But as I add the next feature/function in my code - sort blocks - as soon as I tried to save them (a collection of them in an instvar)... I get an error on the writeToSTON, and the target file is now corrupt - at the point where it tried to write the blocks. I have looked in the documentation and it plainly states the version I'm using does not yet address blocks - but I was hoping someone out there has developed a workaround, or perhaps has STON been updated to handle blocks? I could make the jump to a more sophisticated storage mechanism (i.e. Fuel?), but I'd rather spend my time working on features and figuring out the Spec2 GUI. :) Any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks! Russ -- Russ Whaley whaley.russ(a)gmail.com

Pharo 8. Epicea seems to be turned off. how do I get it working again?
by PAUL DEBRUICKER July 1, 2020

Hi- I had an image lock up so I "Force quit" it from the apple menu. When I check "Code Changes" its most recent changes are from 9 days ago. My most recent save was a few hours ago & I was able to restore the missing code between the save & now by dropping the changes file in the image. How do I double check and get epicea running again in this image? Thanks

Zinc HTTP Components, P3, MQTT and NeoUniversalBinaryJSON now require Pharo 7.0.5 as minimum version
by Sven Van Caekenberghe July 1, 2020

July 1, 2020

Hi, Here is a little heads up: in order to support Pharo 9, I made a change in a couple of my libraries/frameworks (using Integer #byteAt: instead of #digitAt:) that requires Pharo 7.0.5 (released recently) as minimum version. https://github.com/svenvc/zinc https://github.com/svenvc/P3 https://github.com/svenvc/mqtt https://github.com/svenvc/NeoUniversalBinaryJSON If you are unable or unwilling to upgrade, you can patch this by adding the follow alias to Pharo versions < 7.0.5: Integer>>#byteAt: index ^ self digitAt: index Sven
