[ENH] PNGReadWriter writing support & alpha fixes ( [er][su][et][approved] Use v7. )
by gohu＠bluefish.se 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hi all! I did the following: - Filed it into a virgin 5707. Noted I need to use Andreas version and then add Ned's single method fix. Not sure why Neds changeset didn't include the Test class definition. Then when I wrote this Andreas posted a v7 fixed accordingly, fine. :) That one also filed in cleanly in 5707. - Ran tests. All green. - Tested producing a .zip file and opening it too. Just to see if those things broke, it worked fine. Also uses this code in my BFAV image, which does gzipping/gunzipping. - Looked over the code changes but didn't analyze it. Noted the "Debugging" class var, but we can keep it for a while. Sidenote: Might be interesting to have a convention for such things. - Looked at the generated PNGs in XP viewer and Firefox. Didn't check all but they worked fine. Anyway, this is stuff from highly esteemed Squeakers, and it seems to have been tested a bit by other people too. And if we can't trust them then... :) regards, Göran

RE: [ANN] BFAV 2.07 available on SqueakMap
by Brent Vukmer 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Unfortunately I released 2.07 with the following nasty bugs: - the reviewer notepad changesets pane doesn't update after add or drag - the reviewer notepad attachments pane doesn't update after add or drag There is an "unpublished" 2.08 release on SqueakMap that fixes this, AFAICT. Tom Koenig and Frank Shearar (the new BFAV maintainers) know about the bugs and are going to test 2.08. They will mark 2.08 as "published" (immutable) when they are satisfied with it. Tom and Frank rock, by the way. I'm really pleased that they have taken over maintainer responsibilities and am looking forward to seeing how they improve the tool. Sounds like one of the first things they are going to do is build out an SUnit test suite for the BFAV package, which should make a huge difference in the tool's quality. Cheers, Brent

[ENH] Use of EndOfStream (sm)
by Boris Gaertner 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

This proposal is for Squeak 3.7alpha #5623 We have a resumable exception EndOfStream, that we do not use. The comment of that exception reads: 'Signalled when ReadStream>>next encounters a premature end.' but this is not true. In ReadStream>>next, we have: next <primitive: 65> position >= readLimit ifTrue: [^nil] ifFalse: [^collection at: (position _ position + 1)] To really use the exception hanlding mechanism, we have to replace the "^nil" with ^EndOfStream new signal. The default action of EndOfStream returns the value nil. This is compatible with the current behavior of method "next". It is therefore not necessary to modify the senders of this message. The attached change set contains this change for several kinds of streams. Greetings, Boris

[FIX][ENH] LargeListsEnh2-nk ([er][et][sm] Works as advertised)
by Colin Putney 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

After loading this change set I was able to display bold items in a PluggableListMorph. Didn't try italics. Also, I ran a test suite involving lots of PLMs and they continued to pass without problems. I'd like to see this approved.

Hi-- Squat 1a7 is available. Now, in the working snapshot, one can load modules. The test I used is Apprentice>>loadAModule. I'd be delighted to hear about bugs and feature suggestions. :) thanks, -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!

Re: speech recognition
by Gary McGovern 01 Mar '04

Well Thanks, That answers my question really. I doubt IBM ViaVoice is open source :). I'm not a fan of plug-ins, I would have thought a package, like the speech synthesis might have existed somewhere. But I think Wonderland is a bit of an island in itself within Squeak.
