Well obviously, I did - that’s my job. I don’t recall the exact sequence but evidently at some point I pulled the latest sources and built them, found it apparently ok and put it in place. Shortly later I repeated with later sources and built another release package for Pi and sent it off to Cambridge as a replacement. Sadly in the usual chaos surrounding a big release of hundreds of applications with a new UI and many other bits, something got lost and the older vm was left in the release. The image got updated again later after some RC testing by my small coterie of enthusiastic testers - but *they* were using the better vm and so nobody had any problems with key events.<br class="gmail_msg">

The interesting question here - as well as what was wrong and what fixed it - is how come I didn’t see any comments about key problems at the time. Clearly I wouldn’t have used the vm if I had any idea of such a problem. Not that that explains how it wasn’t completely obvious when I tried it out… all very odd.<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I spent the last 30mins to do some research and I came to the conclusion that I might have mixed this up with [1]. Nonetheless, I went through the changes since 201608171728 [2] and all keyboard-related changes I was able to find were in [3], but those seem unrelated. Also checking the news until VMMaker.oscog-cb.1919 at [4] didn't bring up anything related. So I am afraid that's all I know. And I believe it could be tough to solve this mystery because many (good) things happened since that release (PharoVM changes are being merged back by Esteban, CB and Eliot are actively working on Sista, Nicolas is working on various things, ...).</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe someone else can help...</div><div><br></div><div>Fabio</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://forum.world.st/Re-VM-Crash-on-Mac-with-Input-Method-Vm-dev-Re-squeak-dev-RFB-td4915036.html">http://forum.world.st/Re-VM-Crash-on-Mac-with-Input-Method-Vm-dev-Re-squeak-dev-RFB-td4915036.html</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/compare/201608171728...Cog">https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/compare/201608171728...Cog</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/commit/e24f4da5a82e2b37a3e3274801ff52b4c5ed0685">https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/commit/e24f4da5a82e2b37a3e3274801ff52b4c5ed0685</a></div><div>[4] <a href="http://source.squeak.org/VMMaker.html">http://source.squeak.org/VMMaker.html</a></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote gmail_msg" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
