The Chronos Date/Time Library: New version, and new license
by Alan Lovejoy 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

A new version of the Chronos Date/Time Library is now available. A new version of the Chronos Time Zone Repository, based on version 2005q of the Olson Time Zone Database, is now available. The new versions are available from the Chronos web site: http://www.chronos-st.org/ Also, the license for the Chronos Date/Time Library has changed. The new license is the MIT license, modified solely so that Chronos is referenced by name in the license. The text of the new license is also available from the Chronos web site.

Problem with SqueakMap Package Loader?
by Paulo Sérgio Medeiros 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with the package loader when installing some packages (like eCompletion, Seaside and probably others). I can install other normally like Shout. I can reproduce the error following the steps: (in both Linux and Windows 2000, without a firewall and an ADSL connection) 1) Download a fresh squeak build (have tried with 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9aversions) 2) Starts it and next SqueakMap 3) Update package loader to version 2.1 (whan asked) 4) Install Shout(4) 5) Try to install eCompletion and it hangs with the wait cursor on the screen (i have to close squeak then) 5a) If i don't update package loader to version 2.1 it gives other error: MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>findLast: 26 December 2005 11:43:11 am VM: Win32 - a SmalltalkImage Image: Squeak3.8 [latest update: #6665] SecurityManager state: Restricted: false FileAccess: true SocketAccess: true Working Dir C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Squeak3.8 Trusted Dir C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Squeak3.8\Administrator Untrusted Dir C:\My Squeak\Administrator UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #findLast: Receiver: nil Arguments and temporary variables: aMessage: findLast: [] in FileDirectory class>>extensionFor: {[:c | c = delim]}...etc...

Porting Chronos to Squeak (was: The Chronos Date/Time Library: New version, and new license)
by Alan Lovejoy 25 Dec '05

25 Dec '05

Avi asked whether any work had been done towards porting Chronos to Squeak. As far as I know, the answer is no. I strongly advise that whatever work anyone puts into porting Chronos be done so that it is repeatable. I will be making enhancements in the future, and it would be good if such enhancements were easily portable from the VW version to any ported versions that may exist. --Alan -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

I am sure this must be obvious but I can't find it. How do I determine programmatically which OS I am running on.

Exception Handling
by Cowdery, Bob [UK] 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

I am having a bit of a struggle with exception handling. a) I can't seem to find a complete guide anywhere just snippets here and there. b) I am using Opera to link my application across win and nix which works fine as long as the server is up. If the client tries to connect when the server is down I get one of those horrible errors that overwrites the main window. I tried using an ifError block which got completely ignored. How can I trap this error so I can handle it sensibly.

Thanks Tim, think I will go for the second option although the first sounds much more interesting.

Now I wonder what >it was that changed the setting in my browser ... Sorry to stay with this, but it's not my browser at all. Something else (probably our firewall) is caching the page and not properly updating when the newer page version is fetched. __________________________________ Yahoo! for Good - Make a difference this year. http://brand.yahoo.com/cybergivingweek2005/
