Hi folks,
OLPC just made a new release candidate (8.2-759). This contains the latest Squeak VM and Etoys updated to 2126. Most of our remaining high- priority bugs should be fixed by this release (*).
This Etoys version might be (hopefully is) the final one for this OLPC release cycle, and it also matches the upcoming new Squeakland release. So please test this version and if you find severe bugs, please report them as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Hi,
I ran a fairly quick test, it looks really good, the few problems there were a few weeks ago are fixed. Found one problem (reported on trac).
As a sidenote, tested closing/reopening the lid when running eToys, the system goes to hibernate and back very nicely, could not trick it to do anything weird, although i seemed to manage to hang eToys once after hibernate wakeup. Overall this seems to be best behaving hibernate on a laptop with Linux (or maybe any OS - but that is the system rather than Squeak.
Tomorrow I'll test some more complicated eToys stuff (project import export, building a bigger script) and report if any problems, Milan

When it (hang Etoys) happened, did it come back after some minutes? Or it was really long time and you didn't wait? Did the cursor move when you try to move it? This may be the problem Ties reported while ago, and it may be still there...

HI Yoshiki,
actually I have a feeling it was more of a OS problem then Etoys. See below for details I remember. I have tried to give it a real hard time by constantly closing and reopening the lid, unplugging the power cord at the time etc

i did see the screen, it did not come back in about 3 minutes, then i pushed the poweroff button.

cursor was frozen - but I as far as remember the whole OS was frozen, not just etoys, i probably did not word it right. it dehibernated but then everything froze..I tried to duplicate today, but it always worked so far...
but I saw some other weird problemsm such as keyboard stopped working, etoys were not running then .. that is a different thing.

Hi, Milan. Thank you for testing! Yes, if the cursor was stopped, it is more like a system side problem.
There are a few bug reports around suspend/resume, so now I don't go and search the problem in Etoys and Squeak VM. This is a different problem from Ties' after all.
