I'm in the weeds at the moment, so there's nothing new to see. Next week I expect to have some forms working. Chris

FunSqueak is a great resource
by David T. Lewis 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

The Squeak Oversight Board was discussing how to explain to "outside" people what is so cool about Squeak, so naturally the topic of FunSqueak was raised in the discussion. For those who may not know, Edgar De Cleene prepares the FunSqueak image, which contains a wonderful collection of Squeak applications past and present. A fairly recent FunSqueak is on our ftp server: ftp://ftp.squeak.org/various_images/FunSqueak/FunSqueakCog4.3-11720-alpha.z… I think that Edgar plans to prepare an update for Squeak 4.6 also. For anyone on the list who may not have been involved in Squeak during its earlier years, you definitely should take a look at FunSqueak. You may be surprised at some of the things that can be done in Squeak. Tim Rowledge - don't forget to look at this image for your Raspberry Pi presentations! Dave

Use this to boost some mixed arithmetic comparisons by avoidance of Float>>asTrueFraction in more cases. Use this to make Fraction>>hash more explicit. While at it, improve a bit the Fraction>>hash in inexact case (previous naive bitXor: causes too many collisions) Since some hash has been modified, rehashAll in postscript. =============== Diff against Kernel-nice.853 ===============

Changes to Trunk (http://source.squeak.org/trunk.html) in the last 24 hours: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2014-May/007066.html Name: Multilingual-nice.195 Ancestors: Multilingual-fbs.194 Micro-simplify scanKernableMultibyteCharactersFrom:to:in:rightX: (one less temp var floatDestX, the flow was a bit too nested) Protect charsetAt: against out of bounds encoding Add an API to Unicode for handling codes (it's most of its job to handle codes as the name tells). ============================================= http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2014-May/007067.html Name: Tests-nice.299 Ancestors: Tests-nice.298 No use to test isDoIt in the selectors, DoIt are not installed in MethodDictionary anymore. ============================================= http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2014-May/007068.html Name: Multilingual-nice.196 Ancestors: Multilingual-nice.195 Generalized what I did to Unicode: provide an API dealing with codes Add charsetClass conveniency for this reason: (EncodedCharSet charsetAt: leadingChar) is not always a charset, it can also be a LanguageEnvironment. (EncodedCharSet charsetAt: leadingChar) charsetClass will always be a charset (an EncodedCharSet subclass) ============================================= http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2014-May/007069.html Name: Collections-nice.572 Ancestors: Collections-eem.571 Let asUppercase and asLowercase use the unicode tables for wide strings/characters. Care is also taken to correctly handle characters with east asian encoding, but I'm not sure how healthy is this support in trunk... Remove Character>>basicSqueakToIso which is totally obsolete (does not the right thing) and is not sent. ============================================= http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2014-May/007070.html Name: Multilingual-nice.197 Ancestors: Multilingual-nice.196 Cleanup: - Remove now unused isCharset. Anyway, the meaning was strange (more like isEastAsianCharset). - Simplify CompoundTextConverter>>toUnicode: to use new convertToUnicode: rather than duplicate the job. - Add possibly missing EncodedCharSet class>>unicodeLeadingChar. - Provides a fast Latin1 class>>charFromUnicode:. ============================================= http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2014-May/007071.html Name: Multilingual-nice.198 Ancestors: Multilingual-nice.197 Oops, correct my very fresh bug in convertToUnicode: =============================================
