Hi guys,

It has been long time since I looked into Pharo and licensing environment (revitalising my interest now...), so I may be asking obvious questions but what is the licencing model for Fuel? (skimmed the mail and the web site and only noted "open-sourced")

Thanks. I have updated the site. Now it says: "An open-source (MIT license) general-purpose *object serialization* framework developed in Pharo Smalltalk environment <http://www.pharo-project.org>."

Regards, Jaroslaw

Fuel works out of the box in Pharo from 1.1 up to 2.0 (checked at #20094). Please check our documentation [2] for complete installation and use guides

Martin told me something by private email that I think is worth to

mention.

Not sure if you read it carefully, but Fuel is working from Pharo version 1.1 up to 2.0!!!

But he is mentioned that already in his announcement. :) This is nice, of course!

...

One of reasons is to help people migrate to new Pharo versions by using Fuel as a way of moving data.

Below, there are some remarkable changes.

- Much more complete user guides. - Improved API for customizing how graph is traced. - FuelMetalevel: serialization of stuff like classes and compiled methods moved to an optional package. - Customize objects to be treated as globals. - Migrations: declare at materialization time class and variables renames. - Weak references properly managed. Thanks to Juan Vuletich and Levente. - Thanks Pavel for helping us improving FuelPackageLoader with wonderful ideas and bug reports. - Serialization speed up on large graphs by using specialized collections. Thanks Levente. - Encoder and Decoder: new reifications that clarify the design. Thanks Colin Putney. - Optimized serialization of "clean" BlockClosures, which don't need the whole stack of contexts. Thanks Juan Vuletich and Eliot Miranda. - Added a clear error hierarchy. - Debug facilities, including graph visualization using Roassal. Thanks Alexandre and Doru. - Many more new tests. Including those from extension packages, we have almost 600 tests. - Repository moved from 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Fuel' to 'http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Fuel'.

If you are a Fuel user we are not aware of, please let us know!

Best regards, Martin and Mariano
