1.2.1 Windows no-no

by Robert Shiplett

I just inspected the pharo LNK file of my new C:\Pharo-1.2.1-CogOneClick.app and it is set to start in "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\OneClick.app" WRONG! I am logged in as another user and not as Administrator ( which on XP I only enter from Safe Mode ) Pharo might be okay using my C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data I have reset the LNK as starting in C:\Pharo-1.2.1-CogOneClick.app\Contents\Resources and reset the TARGET to C:\Pharo-1.2.1-CogOneClick.app\Contents\Windows\Squeak.exe pharo.image Some Windows users would not be amused to see this Administrator ... as all too often spyware goes where it does not belong ... especially on Corp desktops. If we use an sh for Linux, why can't we use a simple BAT for Windows? Or a README advising to set an ini file ? What is worst above is that OneClick.app could be Squeak, Pharo and is it Pharo 1.1, 1.2 ... Or am I mistaken/misguided/misinformed ? 3M ( I was in Minnesota for years ... )

Re: [Pharo-users] Find class in 1.2.1

by DougEdmunds

Apparently I'm not the only one confused by the search results. I expect this will be reported repeatedly by people who think the search function is broken when they get results like you did. I reported it, but the issue was closed as invalid: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3971&can=1&q=status%3Ainval… If you look carefully at the results, you can find the sequence s e t t, possibly with several other letters between. This only happens with the OB System Browser. Go to system>settings>code browsing>default browser and change it from 'OBSystemBrowserAdaptor' to 'Browser'. That one only finds proper substrings. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Find-class-in-1-2-1-tp3438398p3438675.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Find class in 1.2.1

by Robert Shiplett

re: Pharo 1.2.1 One-Click / update #12345 ;-) The Class Find menu item of system browser seems to have a quirk I enter Set and I see the Settings classes listed below the Set class but I add one more 't' as in Sett and I am tossed to the W classes Is this a known quirk? Robert

I am not sure if this would improve situation or make situation even more ugly, but maybe #origin:corner: could figure out how to create rectangle from given parameters that satisfies: new_origin x <= new_corner x new_origin y <= new_corner y in other words, resulting rectangle may have different origin and corner than one supplied to #origin:corner: Davorin Rusevljan http://www.cloud208.com/

[ANN] Pharo Release 1.2.1

by Adrian Lienhard

The Pharo Project is proud to announce the release of Pharo 1.2.1, the third major release of this clean, innovative, open-source Smalltalk environment. Static URL for this ANN: http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download/release-1-2-1 French translation: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/Pharo12FrenchAnnouncement * Update #12345 On Tuesday, March 29th 2011, update #12345 was issued to Pharo's 1.2 development line, a line that started back in June 2010 and was frozen in January 2011. Next, Pharo's continuous integration machinery successfully started building various artifacts based on this 'Pharo Core 1.2', the most important one being 'Pharo 1.2' proper, the full featured development image. Pharo Core 1.2.1 passes 7.836 unit tests, Pharo 1.2.1 no less than 10.760. A large, international community of developers worked hard for several months to iron out all problems and to make Pharo compatible with various Smalltalk libraries and frameworks, among them Seaside 3.0.3 which passes its 1.599 tests. * Pharo Core Changes True to the Pharo philosophy, this release contains numerous small changes, refactorings, cleanups and bugfixes improving the overall quality. Important changes include: â Cleaned the Pluggable hierarchy â Added new undo framework â Cleaned Morph and PasteUpMorph â Added DummyUIManager, a UIManager for operating without a UI â Added NewTextMorph â Removed left overs from MVC: PopUpMenu, SelectionMenu and CustomMenu â Cleaned Utilities, Preferences and TheWorldMenu â Included SimpleMorphic preview â Removing empty classes â Added new TextEditor and SmalltalkEditor â Added new, clean and simple Glamorous, Glamorous Orange GUI Themes â Added new Pro GUI Theme â Added Cog compliant behavior â Added better blocks debugging â Better support for separating SmalltalkImage and SystemDictionary â Fixed package dependencies, providing a good platform for kernel images â Removed old JIT experiments â Migrated to MethodReferenceWithSource and friends â Added more pages under the Help system â Improved the number of commented classes â New Finder tool (replacing Messages Names and Method Finder) â New Recent Changes tool (replacing Recent Submissions) â Improved SpaceTally â Fixed pointer finders tools â Integrated SUnit 4 Started Continuous Integration: use Hudson/Jenkins to automatically build images, run tests, and compile VMs For the Core 1.2 Image development line, 693 issues were resolved. * Pharo Changes The full featured Pharo development image is built automatically by loading the Metacello configuration aptly called ConfigurationOfPharo. Important changes include: â Updated to latest Metacello and all configurations used to use symbolic versions â New tools: Metacello Configuration Browser, Memory Monitor, and Autotest â Updated versions of Shout, RoelTyper, OCompletion, OmniBrowser, AutomaticMethodCategorizer, RefactoringBrowsers, Nile, ProfStef â Added XML-Support, and more Help â Removed NewInspector For the Full Dev 1.2 Image development line, 57 issues were resolved. * Downloads: see http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download * Success Stories Pharo has a large user base spread all over the world. Hence there is a growing collection of success stories (www.pharo-project.org/about/success-stories) projects using Pharo that choose to go public with this. Recently, the following were added: DrGeo - an award winning interactive geometry application also used for teaching primary and secondary level students Issys Tracking - a workflow platform to support authorization procedures for the medical practice for a large social organization/health insurance in Argentina Inceptive's Custom ERP - an application for the event planning and resource management administration of a large cultural centre in Flanders __________________________ www.adrian-lienhard.ch twitter.com/adrianlienhard

I found it odd that some pieces of code relying that origin <= corner (sorry i mistaken in previous mail) i meant that origin x <= corner x origin y <= corner y and yes, there is some code that assumes it is always like that.

Thanks andre Igor I'm sure that we can understand the implementation of area. I asked andre to post it because I was concerned that this difference of behavior is a bit odd. And I wanted to raise awareness and may be that we question ourselves. Now I do not have that much preconceived point of view on it.
