Hi Folks,
I've just uploaded a new Cuis release to www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html . This is the first release with support for Eliot's BlockClosures in recent VMs. This was not easy to do! The approach I took was to rename the old compiler while loading the new one. This allowed the system to keep running while doing this. The change sets I built might be of use to people trying to get closures to other Squeak images.
Comments are welcome.
Cheers, Juan Vuletich
That's something we need to do for Etoys, too.
How about doing that by moving Etoys forward onto Squeak 3.11/4.0? It'll be more work but has two advantages: 1) You don't loose the "stable" line of work which is Etoys 4 and 2) it would allow you to take advantage of lots of other work that has been going on.
That would be even better. It still seems like a big task but I guess it's gotten a lot simpler after your recent refactoring of the squeak-dev image :)
How about you drop by on IRC #etoys for the dev meeting later today?
