Fwd: [Pharo-users] [ANN] Fuel Release Version 1.8

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Since Martin's work was sponsored by ESUG (although this release is far after SummerTalk was finished) I think it makes sense to visualize his work. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Dias <tinchodias(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, May 26, 2012 at 7:04 AM Subject: [Pharo-users] [ANN] Fuel Release Version 1.8 To: A friendly place where any question about pharo is welcome < pharo-users(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr>, pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Hi all, We are proud to announce Fuel 1.8 with a lot of new features and documentation. Of course, we don't stop working but it was time to freeze a stable version. Fuel is an open-source general-purpose object serialization framework developed in Pharo Smalltalk environment. More information on our website [1]. 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. 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!

ESUG 2012: hotel reservation code

by Johan Brichau

Dear all, Several people have notified me that the 'ESUG' reservation code does not work when trying to book via de website reservation forms that are available for the IBIS & Novotel hotels. After verification, the hotel told me that this is indeed the case. You need to send your reservation via email. Therefore, I have now added 3 different email addresses to the webpage that you should use to book your accomodation at those particular 3 hotels. For other hotels, booking can proceed as mentioned on their respective websites. See everything at http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2012/Accomodation All the best and let me know if there are any issues! Johan

Re: [Esug-list] First Vancouver Smalltalk developer group meetup

by Francois Stephany

Hi, The first meetup went fine, nine people attended (which I guess is not too bad!). There was no real subject so we talked about a bit about everything. Many of us were happy to talk with other smalltalkers anyway. I've made a Doodle for the next meetup, if you are in the area and want to attend, please tell which day is best for you. http://www.doodle.com/bycw6xw9xtggt5ru Some of the attendees mentioned that they can provide a place. If nobody shows up with something, we can do at the coworking place where I work: http://www.meetup.com/theofficevancouver/ If you have a subject or something you want to talk about, let me know !
