How to use Spec 2.0 with GTK in Pharo 9.
by jbn126859530.7 July 19, 2021

July 19, 2021

Hi. I'm learning Spec 2.0 with the help of the book "Building user interface with Spec 2.0". In section 2.17 of the book, the authors make a subclass of SpGtkConfiguration. However, no such class exists, only a SpMorphicConfiguration. Moreover, if I do something like: "app useBackend: #Gtk", I get a NotFound error. Again, "app useBackend: #Morphic" work as intended. As Pharo 9 annonced the availability of a GTK backend, I would like to know how to access it. Thanks. tau.

Pharo 9 released - a brief experience report
by Yanni Chiu July 19, 2021

July 19, 2021

First, great work and thanks to all contributors. Using macOS Big Sur version 11.4 on MacBook Air 2019... 1. In a new sub-directory "pharo9" (I was using a pharo8 directory, so pharo9 is to keep things separate). In pharo9, I used "curl -L https://get.pharo.org/64/ | bash" to get the latest release. Then I ran ./pharo-ui to start Pharo. Very strangely, it was able to present my pharo8 images to choose for opening. I quit without choosing any image, then went looking to find out how it was able to find the settings. In the course of that, I realized the default download had got me the 8.0 release. 2. Then I used "curl https://get.pharo.org/90+wm | bash". The image came up with a strange looking dialog across the top that indicated freetype font lib's could not be loaded. I just proceeded and was able to navigate somewhat. The Settings for fonts were completely absent. I kept browsing, but more freetype font problems kept appearing. 3. I then compared the dylib's in the pharo-vm (what I had in pharo8) vs. what I just got in pharo9 - very different lists. I copied the libfreetype.6.dylib, libfreetype.dylib, and libFT2Plugin.dylib files to the new vm, and then the Pharo9 image came up nicely. 4. I thought I was home free, and continued browsing. I happened to look at the Pillar-Core code, and I got "Cannot locate libcairo.2.dylib". Browsing a few other places did not show this problem. That's it for now. I will try a bit more later, but I'm going back to Pharo8 for today. Yanni Chiu

UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday 28th July 2021
by Giovanni Corriga July 16, 2021

July 16, 2021

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, July 30th. Russell Allen will talk to us about Self ( https://selflanguage.org/ ). Dating back to the late 1980s, Self is a prototype based programming language and environment in the broader Smalltalk family. Although Self has always been a niche research system, its influence can still be seen in areas as diverse as the fast VMs of Java and Javascript, in the prototype semantics of Javascript, and in the Morphic user interface used by Squeak, Pharo and Cuis. Russell Allen ( https://twitter.com/russell_allen_ ) has a background in law and computers and first came across Self in the late 1990s. Around 2008 he helped get Self running on Linux x86, set up the Self website and GitHub account, and for the last decade or so he has been helping keep Self as a project alive. In this talk, Russell will demonstrate Self as a running system, including the object semantics, language, and the multi-user Morphic development environment. heâll talk about the current status of the project and the challenges it faces for the future. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. Please note that the meeting will start later than usual, to accomodate the speaker who will connect from Australia. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbrycckblc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Hi For some time now the forum on http://forum.world.st/Pharo-f1294836.html has not been working properly. Messages to this list are showing up in my mailbox but not on the website. Is someone looking at this? it's not a good look for the pharo community. Ken

Flattening traits
by Esteban Maringolo July 13, 2021

July 13, 2021

Hi, What is the way, ideally programmatic, to flatten traits into regular methods of their user classes? I remember there was an option in the UI, but I couldn't find it, and there is nothing about it in the general documentation [1]. Thanks!

Re: Size of the critic panel in Calypso
by Yanni Chiu July 11, 2021

July 11, 2021

With the hint, I found ClyCriticDecorator>>showCritiques where I changed the two 0.8 factors to 0.9. It would be better to specify the number of lines, but this is good enough. Iâd searched the settings several times, at various times but had pretty much given up. Yanni Chiu

Hi Alexandre,Yep but I don't want to get rid of it, in my opinion it is useful. I need to resize it Anyone with the solution? :-) CheersDavide On Friday, July 9, 2021, 01:58:57 PM GMT+2, Alexandre Bergel <alexandre.bergel(a)me.com> wrote: No idea. But, the way to remove it is by evaluating: ClyCriticBrowserPlugin disable. Maybe you can trace it to see how the panel size is set.
