Pharo 1.4 "Summer" released!
by Esteban Lorenzano July 19, 2012

July 19, 2012

We are proud to announce the summer release of Pharo 1.4! You can find information about Pharo at: http://www.pharo-project.org About this release. We integrated 30 fixes (the rounded number is completely casual) and integrated some tools that users feedback showed as necessary, specially the inclusion of OmniBrowser as part of the core for 1.4. As a result of all this changes and fixes, the stability of this version is a lot better and we are really happy with it. Structural changes to the image: - Backport configurations browser from 2.0. This will easy the loading of packages for everybody, specially newcomers. - Integrated ProfStef. Again, useful for newcomers. - Integrated Spotlight. Easy to find classes and methods. - Integrated OmniBrowser. Nautilus will wait to 2.0 to be core, but it is still loadable. - Integrated Keymapping. This is in fact a sub-product of the inclusion of Spotlight, but the framework is powerful and it deserves its inclusion too :) - Updated Zinc to latest version. Complete list of bugs fixed: - 5665: bug on new ecompletion/ocompletion, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5665 - 5773: Have access to the original event in PLuggableButtonMorph, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5773 - 5584: File Browser not recognizing cs and st if filename has more than one point, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5584 - 5667: Renaming a file just deletes it due to missing #fileNameFromFormattedItem:, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5667 - 5445: Broken command-line arguments in 1.4, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5445 - 5679: Removing a trait does not remove trait methods from class, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5679 - 5722: Be able to remove traits from class definition, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5722 - 5858: DateAndTime >>#hash, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5858 - 5833: More robust allSuperclassesIncluding:, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5833 - 5966: DropListMorph do not pop the list when the text field is clicked, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5966 - 5627: "MessageNotUnderstood: receiver of "displayWorld" is nil" on clicking the red Menu-Halo., http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5627 - 5742: BallonMorph shows flyover help using an extra line, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5742 - 6150: During snapshot: Send cr after Transcript message for 1.4, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6150 - 6147: Code completion in all tools for 1.4, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6147 - 6189: [BUG]: Port to Pharo 1.4 - stdin hangs until EOF, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6189 - 6143: MIME decoding and Unicode not working, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6143 - 6188: [BUG]: (1.4) Put back the correct order in #asert:equals:, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6188 - 6187: [Bug]: (1.4) Mouse down events are being processed twice, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6187 - 6117: SimplifiedChineseEnvironment should implement leadingChar, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6117 - 6082: Missed translated selector for the dialog title in the ColorChooserMorph, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6082 - 6231: FileList revert, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6231 - 6303: [BUG]: Completion DNU in Inspector/Object Explorer for 1.4, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6303 - 6305: StartupPreferences "run once" broken, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6305 - 6324: For Pharo 1.4 disable StartupPreferences only for Windows, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6324 - 6313: failing test: MorphicTests.Event.EventHandlerTest.testKeyStrokeFromMorph, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6313 - 6352: StartupPreferences loads non-st files in 1.4, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6352, , - 6373: Add #version to OSPlatform, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6373 - 6366: [Bug]: In 1.4, Finder UI DNU guessTypeByName:, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6366 - 6343: move Windows on screen should take in account the task bar, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6343 - 6386: [BUG]: [1.4]: New ProcessSpecificVariables & Running Processes, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6386 Not bad, isn't?

Hi, Reminder: 29 days to deadline Have you written innovative Smalltalk? The developers of any Smalltalk-based software can enter by submitting a 3-5min video of their software. Entrants demo their systems in a session at the end of Monday August 27th 2012, after which the conference attendees vote. (A vote consists in providing a sorted list of 3 preferred pieces of software.) The top 3 teams with the most innovative software will receive, respectively, 500 Euros, 300 Euros and 200 Euros. The results are announced in the Awards ceremony that is held during the social event. Applicants should provide the following information on the conference registration server.

The registration server will open soon. You can start preparing your software right now though. Info to provide: Name of the software Licence information (free, shareware, or commercial) Name of the Smalltalk dialect used Name, Affiliation and Country of developers Besides, it would be great if the submission could include: URL for a video (3-5 min) showing a screencast / demo of the software URL for downloading the software or at least a runnable demo Deadline: August 15 Any Smalltalker can apply (students, companies, ...). The presented piece of code/software should be written in Smalltalk or directly support Smalltalk (e.g. Smalltalk VM). All Smalltalk dialects are accepted.

ESUG considers sponsoring the Pharo Consortium
by Damien Cassou July 15, 2012

July 15, 2012

The ESUG board currently considers sponsoring the Pharo Consortium (see http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2012-June/066881.html) We believe that Pharo is important for the Smalltalk ecosystem. Note that ESUG is promoting Smalltalk in general and this action is in the same vein as previous actions such as sponsoring local Smalltalk groups (FAST, Catalan, Russian, …), Smalltalk dialects (SqueakFoundation, etoy), development projects (Mars, DBXTalk, DrGeo II, SqueakVirtual Machine cleaning), and books (Seaside and GNU book). Before deciding, the board would like to gather feedback from the community. We want to be clear that there is a strict distinction between ESUG and Pharo (both consortium and association) even if some people are involved in both. What do you think? -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them." James Iry

[ANN] Roassal 1.59 released
by Alexandre Bergel July 12, 2012

July 12, 2012

Hi! For nearly one year, we have been pushing the Roassal visualization engine at a steady pace. We are now happy to release Roassal 1.59, for VisualWorks and Pharo. Screenshots have been added to http://objectprofile.com/pier/Products/Roassal/ We have fixed many bugs. Thanks to you to have reported it. In addition to this, a set of "color normalizers" have been added. A highly wanted feature, especially by the Moose community. Normalizers are useful to generate fading and coloring effects. Numerous examples are provided in the easel. Glamour also supports Roassal. This means that panes of a glamour browser can be a Roassal visualization. What could be considered as "game changers" will be announced soon. Such as an Amber/JavaScript exporter and to use the athens renderer. Many people are involved in this new release. Our thanks goes in particular to, in no special order: Tudor Girba, Chris Thorgrimsson, Usman Bhatti, Dennis Schenk, Stéphane Ducasse, Martin Dias, Daan Smit, Steffen Märcker, Ben Coman, Paul DeBruicker, Serge Stinckwich, Torsten Bergmann, Mariano Martinez Peck, Santiago Vidal and many others. Cheers, The Object Profile crew http://ObjectProfile.com

Fwd: ESUG considers sponsoring the Pharo Consortium
by Igor Stasenko July 6, 2012

July 6, 2012

Let's make it clear.. A project X, which is a smalltalk-based project bootstrapping a consortium and inviting all organizations/individuals who want to participate. Question 1: what is a logical reaction from ESUG should be, which mission is to support and popularize smalltalk? Question 2: if you replace X with 'Pharo', how this changing the situation? -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

Dear Stef, "... it was fun". It would be nice if you could share the fun. Do you have a video, podcast, presentation? Or could you write something up that would help us arguing with other priests of "temples of type systems" when promoting Smalltalk?
