[ANN] Pharo-Spreedsheet on GitHub
by Torsten Bergmann April 4, 2020

April 4, 2020

Hi, I just moved "Spreadsheet" from SmalltalkHub (http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/Spreadsheet) to a community owned location at GitHub ("https://github.com/pharo-contributions/Pharo-Spreadsheet"). If I remember correctly the project goes back to ancient Squeak times - but it was kept up to date and is basically working. So if you want to write the next killer spreadsheet application in Pharo then you might want to use this as a base. Screenshot attached Have fun T. (aka astares)

[ANN] Temple on GitHub
by Torsten Bergmann April 3, 2020

April 3, 2020

Need a very minimalistic template engine for Pharo to be able to embed expressions in text? Then maybe the simple "Temple" project https://github.com/astares/Pharo-Temple is useful for you. Side note: ========== If this is just too minimalistic and you need more then check Norberts Mustache project: https://github.com/noha/mustache Bye T.

[ANN] SmalltalkHub Deprecation Notice
by Guillermo Polito April 3, 2020

April 3, 2020

SmalltalkHub Deprecation Notice SmalltalkHub is now getting old and it is time to deprecate it. We plan to replace it by a static file server during 2020. The public data will still be readable and consumable from monticello clients, but modifications will not be allowed in the near future. SmalltalkHub users should move their projects to git repositories or other monticello repository services. What is changing? If you currently host a project in SmalltalkHub, you should migrate your projects to another platform as soon as possible. If you depend on a project hosted on SmalltalkHub, you should contact the owner of that project to schedule a migration. If you have documentation or tutorials using SmalltalkHub, we recommend to update those after a migration. An archive of all public projects in SmalltalkHub will be made available in read-only mode. This archive will be readable through monticello clients for compatibility reasons. Private projects, due to privacy reasons, will not be published in the public archive and will be removed to protect their owners. Why are RMoD and Inria making this change? SmalltalkHub has finished its cycle. The arrival of git integration in the past years caused the move of most users in the Pharo community to git hosting services. They now use exclusively other platforms. Furthermore, RMoD and Inria lack the manpower to properly maintain the SmalltalkHub service and keep it up to date. Smalltalkhub has no added value compared to other code source hosting platforms. How much time do I have to adapt to this change? The SmalltalkHub deprecation will follow the next timetable: Monday 04 of may 2020: SmalltalkHub will be read-only. Creation of new users and projects will be forbidden. New commits will be rejected. All existing users, projects (public and private) and their commits will remain available and visible, but their settings will become read-only. Monday 02 of november 2020: SmalltalkHub will be migrated to a static file server archive. Private projects and their commits will not be available anymore. The RMoD team and Inria plan to keep the static file server alive for, at least, 5 years from the date of its creation. What will happen if I do nothing? Your public projects will become read-only and you will not be able to commit anymore. Your private projects will become unavailable. What alternatives do I have? Those wanting to keep using monticello can migrate their projects to other monticello hostings such as http://squeaksource.com <http://squeaksource.com/> or http://ss3.gemstone.com <http://ss3.gemstone.com/> Those wanting to migrate to git, Peter Uhnakâs git migration tool (https://github.com/peteruhnak/git-migration <https://github.com/peteruhnak/git-migration>) automates monticello to git migration in tonel format. Cheers, Guille on behalf of the RMoD team

How should XMLHTMLParser handle strange HTML?
by PBKResearch April 3, 2020

April 3, 2020

Hello I have come across a strange problem in using XMLHTMLParser to parse some HTML files which use strange constructions. The input files have been generated by using MS Outlook to translate incoming messages, stored in .msg files, into HTML. The translated files display normally in Firefox, and the XMLHTMLParser appears to generate a normal parse, but examination of the parse output shows that the structure is distorted, and about half the input text has been put into one string node. Hunting around, I am convinced that the trouble lies in the presence in the HTML source of pairs of comment-like tags, with this form: <![if !supportLists]> <![endif]> since the distorted parse starts at the first occurrence of one of these tags. I don't know whether these are meant to be a structure in some programming language - there is no reference to supportLists anywhere in the source code. When it is displayed in Firefox, use of the 'Inspect Element' option shows that the browser has treated them as comments, displaying them with the necessary dashes as e.g. . I edited the source code by inserting the dashes, and XMLHTMLParser parsed everything correctly. I have a workaround, therefore; either edit in the dashes to make them into legitimate comments, or equivalently edit out these tags completely. The only question of general interest is whether XMLHTMLParser should be expected to handle these in some other way, rather than produce a distorted parse without comment. The Firefox approach, turning them into comments, seems sensible. It would also be interesting if anyone has any idea what is going on in the source code. Thanks for any help Peter Kenny

This interpreter (vers. X) cannot read image file (vers. Y)
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand April 2, 2020

April 2, 2020

Hello, I'm using Pharo images obtained from get.pharo.org for different OSes (GLIBCs). Is there any way to query VM and image file version from CLI? Or Is there any table matching the OS versus Supported/Unsupported VM + Image? Cheers, HernÃ¡n
