Hi Everyone, As far as I can tell, JPEGReadWriter in Pharo 7 doesn't read (or write) the image metadata, e.g. title, keywords, exposure time, etc. Is anyone aware of a package that does? Thanks! Alistair

TelePharo status
by Gerry Weaver July 29, 2024

July 29, 2024

Hello All, Are there any plans to get TelePharo working again? I've been checking when each new version is released, but no luck so far. I haven't tried version 12, because I assume it is not working. I'm thinking about a project where it would be pretty cool to have TelePharo. Unfortunately, I lack the exprerience with Pharo to attempt to fix it myself. -- Thanks, Gerry

This week (30/2024) on the Pharo Issue Tracker
by Marcus Denker July 26, 2024

July 26, 2024

The most important not obvious news of the week: We managed to get the CI in a good shape again! Test are now green for all three platforms. This is one of these aspects of development that are easily overlooked: Just keeping the CI green and running is far more work in a real project than you would naively think. Summer break: the weekly mails (but not the improvements to Pharo!) will take a break. In the week of 26/08 we post the weeksly logs for weeka 31-34. # Pharo 12 Backports - Automatically type 'NULL' arguments in FFI (backport to P12) #16926 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16926 - [Backport] Update FormSet to not recompute each scalling all the time #16887 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16887 # Fixes - Fix bug in protocol management of Traits #16936 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16936 - Instance of NullWorldRenderer did not understand #fullscreenMode: when run headless / in CI #16925 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16925 - Catch CmCommandAborted in Calypso #16920 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16920 - Fixes icon for packages drop list in StRequestClassPresenter #16856 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16856 - Handles permission problems on FileBrowser #813 https://github.com/pharo-spec/NewTools/pull/813 - Use equality to compare file references in file navigation system #811 https://github.com/pharo-spec/NewTools/pull/811 # Improvements - Enable specification of a comparison strategy to compare list items #1573 https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec/pull/1573 - Improve IconStyler highlight to be base on theme #16943 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16943 - Add isPackage #16935 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16935 # Rules - improve ReCollectionProtocolRule #16918 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16918 - Deprecated package #16931 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16931 - change rules description UI #16929 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16929 # Cleanup - ListView-Tests should depends on Tests #1576 https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec/pull/1576 - ListView adapters should be close to morphic adapters #1575 https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec/pull/1575 - Fix dependency test #806 https://github.com/pharo-spec/NewTools/pull/806 - Remove MCMergeBrowser #16950 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16950 - Monticello: remove dead code and some Morphic UI #16949 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16949 - Move UndefinedClassVariable out of the Kernel #16947 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16947 - Remove useless method: CompiledMethod >> argumentNames #16937 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/16937

Dear Pharo community, I am happy to present a new tool designed specifically for comparing classes in Pharo. It provides a two-sided list of methods, so you can quickly understand the relationships between two classes. The project location is on GitHub: https://github.com/hernanmd/class-diff Feel free to send comments and contributions via PRs. Have a great day, HernÃ¡n

MethodProxies
by Sebastian Jordan Montano July 16, 2024

July 16, 2024

Hello, As presented at ESUG, we have released the new version of MethodProxies for Pharo 12 and 13. MethodProxies is a library that allows to control message-passing to instrument any method in the system to execute an action before and after a method's execution. We worked a lot on this new version to optimize it to have a low overhead. We have also a release for Pharo11 and less but that version does not have our optimizations, but you can use it without any problem. If you really need Pharo 11 and want to use the new fast and optimized version, you can contact me. You can find it here: [ https://github.com/pharo-contributions/MethodProxies | https://github.com/pharo-contributions/MethodProxies ] Cheers, Sebastian Jordan
