Hi, I want to restart sending a weekly summary to the list, this is now using an automatic process, let’s see how well this works in practice. In addition to the issue tracker summary, this already adds a mailinglist summary. Plan: - add a Discord discussion summary - Integrate news posts from Discord news channel Pharo News of the Week 43/2026 ============================== 16 October - 23 October 2026 Highlights ---------- - files.pharo.org was down 21/22 October (fixed) - VM: memory corruption in the allInstances primitive fixed on the main VM branch, with a backport for the Pharo 10 VM (#1115, #1116). - Pharo 13: fix for a VM crash caused by stale FullBlockClosures after a class reshape (#20067). - Pharo 15: more Calypso menus move to Commander2, and the pure Morphic find-and-replace dialog is removed in favour of the Spec one. - PRs merged: pharo 9 (Pharo 15: 8, Pharo 13: 1), pharo-vm 2, Spec 0, NewTools 0, iceberg 0.
