This VM is accessible right now from Zero-Conf, updating it in the Pharo Launcher or using the usual downloads (as described in pharo.org/download) This version includes a series of bug fixes and upgrades on the third-party libraries. Changelog: - Implementing High resolution clock for ARM64 (Used during profiling) - Updating third party libraries for all the graphic layer. - Fixing a performance regression on the allocation of opcodes and fix-ups. Cleaning only the ones that are going to be used. Like this, this version has the same speed than before when allocating in the stack. - Correctly handling the encoding of the command line arguments of the VM (Windows) - Allocating the opcodes and fixup structs only once and reusing them (Reducing risk of C Stack Overflow) Thanks a lot, and any doubt please let me know.

Re: Pharo dark window buttons

by Sebastian Jordan Montano

Hello, Currently, the colors are defined in instance side methods inside the theme class or instance side. So, to change the color you need to redefine that method. But the problem is that I don't know with method specifically defines the color of the windows collapse. So, I can't help you in that aspect.

Re: Pharo dark window buttons

by Pierre Misse Chanabier

Hi, I think I saw a setting once for that, but it has been years. However, you can edit the Theme directly. The dark theme is defined in PharoDarkTheme. Sebastian (in copy of this mail) has recently started to look at the themes and will probably change them slightly soon. He might be able to be more precise than I am. If you could tell him what has fit for you, or PR your changes so other visually impaired people could see them better, that'd be great (I'm one of them, and that back on dark grey is... complicated). One last thing, if you're working on a PharoLightTheme release (like Pharo 11) it might be an update issue. Most components update properly upon changing from light to dark theme. However some don't. For example for a while, class comment were black on grey, which was impossible for me to read.

Pharo dark window buttons

Pardon if this is a duplicate but, is there a way to change the themeâs color for the windows close/collapse buttons? They are too dark for me (black on dark grey background). Iâm somewhat visually impaired so the extra contrast would help. I looked at the settings/preferences and couldnât find anything there. Thank you. Regards Pete

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting - 30 November 2022

by Giovanni Corriga

For this month's UKSTUG meeting, Dave Mason will talk about Zag Smalltalk, a new Smalltalk VM written in Zig. Dave Mason ( http://sarg.ryerson.ca/dmason/ ) has been a professor of Computer Science at Toronto Metropolitan University (previously known as Ryerson) for 41 years. He has done research on operating systems, software reliability and programming languages. Current research is mostly around Smalltalk and other dynamic languages. If forced to program very low level projects such as virtual machines, he is willing to use Zig or Rust, but for any other purpose, he insists on using higher productivity languages - primarily Smalltalk. Zag Smalltalk ( https://github.com/dvmason/Zag-Smalltalk ) is a principle-based Smalltalk VM. "Principled" means that the only 3 operations are: message send, assignment, and return. 1) it is designed from the ground up to use multi-processing, to leverage multi-core systems. 2) There is no special-casing of methods like ifTrue:ifFalse or whileTrue:, although of course some methods are implemented by primitive methods. It does aggressive inlining of methods and blocks. 3) âSourceâ code is maintained as ASTs. 4) Compiled code runs in a dual form of threaded code and JITâed machine code that seamlessly interoperate. 5) It has a partially-copying and partially-non-moving garbage collector. 6) It keeps many more values as immediate, including symbols. 7) It uses a single-level dispatch mechanism to implement Smalltalk dispatch semantics The research question is, "Can this be made fast enough to be competitive?â Preliminary results are encouraging. This will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/290036186 ) to receive the meeting details.
