[ANN] Fuel release version 1.6

by Martin Dias

Hello! I want to announce the new release version number 1.6 of Fuel, a binary serialization framework for Pharo that provides extremely fast deserialization. More information on our home page<http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/web/pier/software/Fuel>. Again, I thank ESUG for sponsoring me through the SummerTalk<http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Promotion/SummerTalk/SummerTalk2011>program. You can download this version in Pharo 1.2.1 with: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Fuel'; package: 'ConfigurationOfFuel'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFuel) project version: '1.6') load. This version does not add any new concrete functionality but has two main achievements: a performance improvement and a design clean up. Many changes included in this release are part of a design clean up. They are a necessary step forward to new functionalities that are coming soon. They make code more understandable. They enable simpler extension. Happily they also helped to improve serialization performance by reducing unnecessary interactions. And it is specially important a bottleneck in graph analysis stage we have successfully attacked, obtaining great results. Details: - Removed explicit references to cluster classes scattered around the system. For example, in previous versions Float>>fuelCluster has an explicit reference to FLFloatCluster. This version replaces this by a double dispatch interaction. - Clusters: Better reification. Removed annoying IDs. Removed Singleton instance creation mechanism, now mappers manage uniqueness in a better way. - Mappers: They were simplified. New mapping machanism inspired on Chain of Responsibility pattern. The global objects detection has been optimized considerably. - Analyzer: Part of its behavior and state has been moved to a new abstraction called 'clusterization'. Best regards, Martín Dias

And it requires the presentation material to be available before, so the camera can zoom onto the presenter. Unless the presentation has been rehearsed with the cameraperson, switching between presenter and presentation is to be avoided.

If someone does decide to attempt ustream (or something similar), could you guys announce it on the list?

Dear Juraj, your help with videoing the talks will be useful. I must agree with Marcus - to set up live streaming at this point would require someone with strong background in it, I think. We are set up to video the talks, and have internet, but all beyond that would be to do.

Re: [Esug-list] DLC in Edinburgh?

by Niall Ross

Dear Bernat, yes, we'll see if we persuade some of them to come to our Thursday day. Their schedule is now beginning to show talks against Friday afternoon; they obviously go in for a very late "finalise schedule" approach. We'll see what's on offer yet nearer the time. Anyone who is staying long enough on Friday, and not in the Seaside sprint or otherwise occupied, could go to any of them if they wanted. And anyone who's around at the right time on Friday afternoon could certainly offer to repeat their conference talk - or do a follow-on. I _might_ do so myself. Just one of the many "also going on in Edinburgh" things that can enhance your stay - this one of course, highly relevant in subject and conveniently close in time and space.
