[ANN] Taming Fills
by Jerome Peace 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

[ANN] Taming Fills Hi All, Context: You have a morph with a gradient or bit map fill and you would like to adjust the scale and orientation to your liking. Problem: The only way to adjust things is one parameter at a time from the fill menu. Furthermore once you have selected to adjust a parameter a handle is created at the cursor (which was doing menu selection just a moment ago.).. And the previous setting of the parameter is lost. Solution: Have handles for the fill that allow manipulation of all the parameters until the user is satisfied. Then allow the removal of those handles. Working code for evaluation is available on Bobs superswiki: http://209.143.91.36/super/730 Taming Fills and a report has been started on mantis: http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6594 0006594: [Fix] [Enh] A better way to handle Balloon-Fill adjustments Feedback appreciated. Send kudos to the lists and technical feedback to mantis. Yours is service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace. ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?

Play a sound continuously
by Herbert König 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Hello, how do I play a sound continuously without clicks. It's not audio but measurement where my SampledSound is carefully designed to be strictly periodic in its buffer so I need exact playing. I can imagine to feed SequentialSound with buffers while it's playing (will try right now) but hopefully there's something ready made. Thanks Herbert mailto:herbertkoenig@gmx.net

Squeak Source problems
by Michael Rueger 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Hi all, not sure where else to ask this so... I installed a new version of squeaksource http://source.sophieproject.org/ a few days ago with all the recent fixed and patches applied. So far it didn't have any down time (wiggle the mouse incidents) so the patches seem to work. BUT, now suddenly none of the links work, instead you get endless redirections (firefox complains and you can see the list scroll through the transcript on the server). I restarted the Kom server to no avail. Didn't restart the image yet though... Any ideas? Michael

Submitting a fix.
by bryce＠kampjes.demon.co.uk 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

I've packaged up a minor fix to printing Arrays containing metaclasses. What is the appropriate way to submit this to be included in the next release? There's even a test covering the bug. The Mantis bug is: http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6590 The bug matters to me because I print arrays into error logs then want to evaluate them back into Squeak to replay the logs to reproduce bugs.

Re: 3dot11 team?

3dot11 team? Hi Craig, Thanks for your reply. At some point could the board look into a way of getting releases to flow smoothly? It would nice to see six-month time boxed releases with a team in the wings waiting to accept the passing baton. It would also give developers options, communication and feedback. Right now my enhancement efforts seem in limbo. They are not suitable for 3dot10 beta and there is no place to line up for 3dot11 alpha. Self funded time crys not to be wasted. Thank you and the board in advance for consideration of these issues. Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace *** >Craig Latta craig at netjam.org >Mon Aug 6 17:34:19 UTC 2007 > > >Hi Jerome-- > >> When the board met last month did it decide anything >> about the next release team? > > No, we haven't decided on the next release team yet.

DLS 2007 at OOPSLA -- Call for Participation
by Robert Hirschfeld 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

======================================================================= *** Call for Participation *** D L S 2 0 0 7 Dynamic Languages Symposium October 22, 2007 Palais des congres de Montreal Montreal, Canada co-located with OOPSLA 2007 sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/dls07/ ======================================================================= The Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Self, and Prolog continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS provides a place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development. This year 30 papers were submitted to the Dynamic Languages Symposium of which 9 papers were accepted. The program committee reviewed each paper and met electronically to select papers for the final program. We are pleased host invited talks by Mark Miller and Jim Hugunin. The program of the Dynamic Languages Symposium is available from http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/dls07/ Please note that participation in DLS requires registration with OOPSLA at http://www.regmaster.com/conf/oopsla2007.html or http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/ Contact: Pascal Costanza (pascal.costanza(a)vub.ac.be) Robert Hirschfeld (hirschfeld(a)hpi.uni-potsdam.de) ======================================================================= -- Robert Hirschfeld hirschfeld(a)acm.org www.hirschfeld.org

On a SocketStream we can't position the cursor, once the characters are read they are no longer in the stream as there is no underlying collection. The buffer doesn't count, as the content can be replaced at any time during read or write. > Do you know if the method pushBack on the XMLTokenizer is ever used? It's used when parsing and resolving entity definitions. Michael
