Just note that the bug reporting is broken on the web page...

It tries to reach��mailto:scratch@citilab.eu?subject=Snap4Arduino%20Bug%20Report&body=Operating%20System:%0D%0AWeb%20Browser,%20and%20version:%0D%0ASnap4Arduino%20version:%0D%0ASteps%20to%20follow%20in%20order%20to%20reproduce%20the%20problem:%0D%0AAdditional%20notes:

which doesn't work. (Chrome here).

Also, reference manual is missing:��http://localhost:8080/help/SnapManual.pdf��not fouind.

Other than that, sweet stuff. I like the traybar thing :-)

Hi list!

I know people don't usually make announcements of this kind here, but I've gotten much help from this list on SerialPlugin and NativeBoost questions, so I wanted to let you know I've managed to release the pre-alpha version of Snap4Arduino.

Snap! is a Scratch reimplementation written in Javascript by Jens M��nig and Brian Harvey, with advanced programming concepts such as first order functions, closures or continuations. As Brian Harvey puts it:

In the glory days of the MIT Logo Lab, we used to say, ���Logo is Lisp disguised as BASIC.��� Now, with its first class procedures, lexical scope, and first class continuations, Snap! is Scheme disguised as Scratch.

Snap4Arduino is a modification of Snap! plus a server written in Pharo that allow you to live-program Arduino boards very easily.

http://s4a.cat/snap

I've used Zinc as a web and websockets server, and the Arduino package to achieve communication with the board.

I've decided to not wait for the MacOS CogVM serial port bugfix because I really wanted to release something before the end of November, but everything else is in place, so once the VM is fixed, it'll be just plug and release! :)

Thanks a lot for your help!
