by tesonep＠gmail.com June 4, 2025

June 4, 2025

Hi everybody, we have a new release of the VM 10.3.5. Sorry if you have this announcement from different sources. This new version includes: - Removed unused temp in findNewMethodOrdinaryIfFound: by @kumom in #951, - Remove set cursor C code #210 by @kumom in #952, - Fix PharoWorker value when coming from plist file by @demarey in #972, - Log worker mode by @demarey in #971, - Updating SDL2 to 2.32.6 for Windows (x86_64) and MacOS (ARM and Intel) by @Pablo Tesone in #977, - Set the size of larger indexable object allocated in the young space by @Pablo Tesone in #975, Full Changelog: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/compare/v10.3.4...v10.3.5 This Version fix a really nasty issue when changing the resolution of the monitors in Windows. Thanks so much to all the people who helped us to identify it and to provide workarounds and the final solution that depended on updating SDL. It is a good moment to update your VMs from the launcher, if you are using zeroconf, it will arrive automatically, and if you use OBS packages, they are also updated. This release applies to Pharo 11, 12, 13 and 14. Thank you so much to all the contributors and all the issue reporters! Pablo on Behalf of all the Pharo team. -- Pablo Tesone. tesonep(a)gmail.com

May 29, 2025

Hi I would like to use Zinc to debug some files that Iâm generating. I do the following (ZnServer defaultOn: 7071) start. (ZnServer defaultOn: 7071) start. ZnServer default delegate: (ZnStaticFileServerDelegate new prefixFromString: ''; directory: '/Users/ducasse/Test2/Play/generated/' asFileReference; yourself) Now I get the server running (the famicon is changed) but when I do http://localhost/7071/index.html I get not found or #, was sent to nil I tried to debug the delegate but I could not find my mistake.

May 12, 2025

Hello, As part of my PhD at the University of Lille, I am currently conducting a study on how developers handle certain bug scenarios. The goal is to better understand current practices, the tools used, and developers' needs regarding debugging in a specific scenario. Link to the questionnaire: [ https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/566958?lang=en | https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/566958?lang=en ] Your participation in this short questionnaire (5 - 10 minutes) would greatly help us analyze existing methods and identify potential gaps in the available solutions. This survey will be open for 6 weeks (Until May 15th, 2025) . The responses will be analyzed and included in a scientific publication. The results will be available [ https://remidufloer.github.io/Dufloer.github.io/survey.html | here ] . If you can, please feel free to share this questionnaire with other developers who might be interested. Every response counts and will contribute to a better understanding of the community's practices! A big thank you for your help and time.

Call for Participation: SLE 2025 - 18th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering
by Andrei Chis May 8, 2025

May 8, 2025

** Call for Participation ** 18th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2025) 12-13 June 2025 Koblenz, Germany https://conf.researchr.org/home/sle-2025 https://www.sleconf.org/2025/ https://x.com/sleconf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE) is devoted to the principles of software languages: their design, their implementation, and their evolution. Like its predecessors, the 18th edition of the SLE conference, SLE 2025, will bring together researchers from different areas united by their common interest in the creation, capture, and tooling of software languages. It overlaps with traditional conferences on the design and implementation of programming languages, model-driven engineering, and compiler construction, and emphasises the fusion of their communities. To foster the latter, SLE traditionally fills a two-day program with a single track, with the only temporal overlap occurring between co-located events. --------------------------- Registration --------------------------- Registration happens via the STAF registration page Early Bird Registration Deadline is May 10th, 2025 https://conf.researchr.org/attending/staf-2025/staf-2025-registration --------------------------- Venue --------------------------- University of Koblenz https://conf.researchr.org/venue/sle-2025/staf-2025-venue --------------------------- Keynotes --------------------------- * Thorsten Berger, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany A New DSL Textbook in Town! * Friedrich Steimann, FernuniversitÃ¤t in Hagen, Germany an Programming Be Liberated from the Functional Style? https://conf.researchr.org/home/sle-2025#Keynotes --------------------------- Awards --------------------------- During the conference, we will announce the following awards: * Distinguished paper: Award for the most notable paper, as determined by the PC chairs based on the recommendations of the program committee. * Distinguished artefact: Award for the artefact most significantly exceeding expectations, as determined by the AEC chairs based on the recommendations of the artefact evaluation committee. * Distinguished reviewer: Award for the programme committee member that produced the most useful reviews as assessed by paper authors. * Most Influential Paper: Award for the SLE 2015 paper with the greatest impact, as judged by the SLE Steering Committee. * COLA Award: 2024 Journal of Computer Languages Best Paper Award --------------------------- Accepted Papers --------------------------- * A Model-Driven Approach to Design, Generation, and Deployment of GUI Component Libraries Arkadii Gerasimov, Nico Jansen, Judith Michael, Bernhard Rumpe, Sebastian Will * AnyText: Incremental, left-recursive Parsing and Pretty-Printing from a single Grammar Definition with first-class LSP support Georg Hinkel, Alexander Hert, Niklas Hettler, Kevin Weinert * Boosting Parallel Parsing through Cyclic Operator Precedence Grammars Michele Chiari, Michele Giornetta, Dino Mandrioli, Matteo Pradella * Detecting Resource Leaks on Android with Alpakka Gustavo Amorim Santos, Alexandra Mendes, JoÃ£o Bispo * Dynamic Dependency-Based Purity Checking Anton Risberg AlakÃ¼la, Niklas Fors, Christoph Reichenbach * Exploratory, Omniscient, and Multiverse Diagnostics in Debuggers for Non-Deterministic Languages Damian FrÃ¶lich, Tommaso Pacciani, L.
