:-) Well, if you do, why don't you try out Theirry package, and give him feedback (preferably in such a way that it is associated with my proposal for inclusion) and so we can get into Basic, or fix it if it isn't good enough?

[KCP] [ENH] KCP-0096-SwapByte
by ducasse＠iam.unibe.ch 19 Oct '03

19 Oct '03

Hi andreas I move swapByteIn... into Bitmap, and fix the arrayed collection accordingly. We have still a dependency from ArrayedCollection to Bitmap so may be this is the maximum. Stef from preamble: "Change Set: KCP-0096-SwapByte Date: 28 June 2003 Author: stephane ducasse Deprecate swapByte as suggested by andreas and move it into Bitmap"!

[ENH] FileListEmptyDirectoryFix #2
by steve＠swerlingphoto.com 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

from preamble: "Change Set: FileListEmptyDirectoryFix Date: 28 December 2002 Author: Steven Swerling Currently in the hierarchy list FileList2, all folders have toggles that make them appear to have subfolders. This changeset removes the toggle from folders that do not contain subfolders. The old behavior of assuming that a subfolder exists is maintained in cases that would incur a performance hit (such as nonlocal directories). Changes this version: Catch Error in #hasContents causes default behavior (assume subfolder) instead of walkback."!

[BUG][FIX] A Morph that rendered by a TransformationMorph is not saved correctly
by Kazuhiro ABE 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Hi all, A Morph that rendered by a TransformationMorph is not saved correctly. In this case, it needs to save a renderer instead of itself. 1. make an Ellipse morph 2. write a following script: Ellipse turn: 5 3. tick the script 4. save this morph by 'save morph in file' menu of debug halo 5. load the morph by 'load as morph' menu from filelist. 6. tick the script again 7. OOPS!! File in the attached changes, now saving and loading will work. Regards, Kazuhiro ABE NISHIHARA Satoshi

[FIX] RelativeZipExtractFix-nk
by Ned Konz 12 Oct '03

12 Oct '03

This is a fixed version of the prior posting with this name. Doug noted that it was broken under Windows. from preamble: "Change Set: RelativeZipExtractFix-nk Date: 16 December 2002 Author: Ned Konz Version: 3.4b 16 Dec: This fixes a problem with re-opening a zip in an ArchiveViewer under Windows (by opening zips read-only), as well as fixing extraction with subdirectories under Windows. 13 Dec: This ensures that zip extraction relative to a given directory works properly, and should eliminate the infinite recursion noted on the Mac. It lacks AcornFileDirectory>>relativeNameFor: ; this should be added if necessary before adding to the update stream. "!

[FIX] WeakMessageSend2-nk-rw
by Ned Konz 12 Oct '03

12 Oct '03

from preamble: "Change Set: WeakMessageSend2-nk-rw Date: 8 December 2002 (v2) Author: Ned Konz and Rob Withers v2: Eliminated WeakMessageSendError; value* now silently returns nil if receiver or arguments have been GC'd. This defines a simple MessageSend where the receiver and arguments are held onto weakly. And it changes the NuBlue event registration to use the WeakMessageSends instead, so that subscribers can be garbage collected. "!

Distributed Squeak
by Michael van der Gulik 12 Oct '03

12 Oct '03

Hello Squeakers. After studying distributed systems, distributed algorithms, parallel programming, and the associated practical work at uni, I think I'm almost ready to tackle an ambitious project: Distributed Squeak. Okay, it's been done before. But I'm going to do it again, and better :-). This will be my master's project (although it still has to be formally confirmed), and I've got 6 months to do it (until November). At the moment, all my ideas are a bit hand-wavy, but I'll be digging in and designing lots of things once I've finished hacking the Minix kernel (another practical at Uni). See the homepage for the basic idea - http://dpon.sourceforge.net. More info will be added when I've managed to write it up. Basically what I want to do is make a distributed, multi-user Squeak "image" (although it wouldn't really be an image anymore). So instead of starting up Squeak locally, you'd start up a "client" and log into a network of Squeak servers on the Internet. Objects could be migratable, remotely invocable or replicated, depending on the implementation of each distributed object. The advantages should be obvious - collaborative development for one. SqueakMap wouldn't be needed because everybody is using the same "image" concurrently. I'll quietly not mention the disadvantages :-). I think it can be done. It's just difficult, not impossible. If anybody knows of any related existing systems or technology not mentioned on dpon.sourceforge.net, I'd like to know. Also, feedback on whether this is actually a sane idea is greatly appreciated before I waste 6 months of my life :-). Michael.

[FIX] creation of a LineMorph ([sm] [cd] doubts about this)
by Scott Wallace 05 Oct '03

05 Oct '03

Before jumping into adopting this "fix", please look at the class comment of LineMorph. If I understand Dan's intentions correctly, LineMorph (which adds no instance variables and has no instance-side methods) is never intended to be instantiated; all instantiation calls to LineMorph are *expected* to result in instances of vanilla PolygonMorph. Thus, Dan's use of the hard-coded "PolygonMorph" in LineMorph class-side method #from:to:color:width: was decidedly intentional, and the proposed "easy to understand fix" violates that intention.
