Status of Marea?
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand April 10, 2020

April 10, 2020

Hi everyone, Just checking what it would take to update Marea for a production environment in Pharo 8 or Pharo 9 or beyond. The last repo link I found is this: http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Marea.html And I couldn't find other codebase in the Mariano's Github repo. Any updates out there? Cheers, HernÃ¡n

Pharo on a chromebook?
by PAUL DEBRUICKER April 10, 2020

April 10, 2020

Forgive my ignorance but does anyone have a recipe to run Pharo on a Chromebook? Without having to install another OS. And also not with SqueakJS. Just on ChromeOS? Seems like its not possible. Just wanted to double check. thanks Paul

Automation of MS Office from Pharo
by PBKResearch April 9, 2020

April 9, 2020

Hello All I am using Pharo (currently P7, moving to P8) under Windows 10. I have MS Office 365 on my system, and use it regularly for non-Smalltalk tasks. It would be very convenient if I could issue commands to MS Office components from within Pharo. My current interest is to manage my incoming e-mails in Outlook, but I can see many other applications. I have a recollection of seeing a reference to automation of Excel to transfer data both ways, but I cannot recall where. I have searched the catalog, but could not see anything that looked relevant. I have also read the uFFI booklet, but again no luck. Could anyone point me to any information or examples of such control, please? It would not have to be Outlook, though that is my main interest; given examples for other Office components, I should be able to follow the pattern. TIA Peter Kenny

Just a try. I searched for free picture around the words lighthouse and/or (mosaic patchwork painterâ¦). A bit like this one (which is not free). Also, I kind of like the spiral effect which evoke practicing the internalâ¦ and the spiral effet (learning/getting better). https://www.flickr.com/photos/28752865@N08/19369475232 <https://www.flickr.com/photos/28752865@N08/19369475232> There are some other free and available. This one is Creative Commons: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaptainkobold/6699472801 <https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaptainkobold/6699472801> => google image searches <https://www.google.com/search?q=lighthouse+inside+stairs&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUK…> on Â« free Â» internal stairs. I also searched for Â« lighthouse anatomy / internals Â». Itâs nice but donât think usable out of the box. It should be stylized (and eventually adapted to programming internals). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Antique_-_Maniguin_Lighthouse_-_Ori… <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Antique_-_Maniguin_Lighthouse_-_Ori…>.

Hi-DPI Support
by Steffen MÃ¤rcker April 7, 2020

April 7, 2020

Hi, I'd like to ask about the state of Hi-DPI support for Pharo. I already found two related GitHub issues which where inconclusive so far. Does the discussion take place elsewhere? If so, where? If not: - What is the current state? - Does a plan exist how to get there? - What are the missing pieces? - How can I support this endeavor in practice? Best, Steffen
