TestBrowser enhancement Hi Jason, Good bug find. To follow up please use mantis. Here are the faqs: FAQ: Is this a known issue ? Where is the place to report bugs (or check if some have already been raised) ? The best place for this info would be to start a Mantis report. (You can get a mantis acct freely and easily). A good place to start is: http://bugs.impara.de/my_view_page.php Mantis provides a patient persistent way to focus on an issue. I use it to accumulate data on a problem until a solution can be found. It provides a place to alert the community to a problem; -accumulate facts and clues from the analysis; -publish preposed solutions and get feedback; -get solutions harvested and included into the main stream. ------ Yours in service, --Jerome Peace >Jason Rogers jacaetevha at gmail.com >Fri Dec 1 22:14:45 UTC 2006 wrote: > >I recently selected a failure in one of my test suites while using the >TestBrowser.

New iCalendar version
by Yann Monclair 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hello, I have been working on my SummerTalk iCalendar project. I just put a new version online, thanks to seasidehosting.st http://icalendar.seasidehosting.st/seaside/icalendar There are some bugs, I can't figure out why the edition of the calendar works and the edition of the events doesn't. If you could play with the app and try breaking it (I hope you will not succeed, but I am being a little too optimistic I think). So far I have put only 2 user accounts, I will add account creation once I have figured out the edition bug. The accounts are : Yann Monclair (that's me :p) login: yann password: yann Arthur Dent (cf H2G2) login: arthur password: arthur You can also download the code at http://www.squeaksource.com/iCalSummerTalk.html I would appreciate any feedback, comments and tips :) Thanks in advance, Yann Monclair http://yann.monclair.fr/summertalk

Skylark Theme and Squeak 3.9
by Pavel Krivanek 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hi all, LookEnhancements have very negative impact on speed of Squeak. So I have tried to update my Skylark Theme for Squeak 3.9. It's only testing version and it's not perfect but if you want to have faster interface, try it. The test (without TTF and gradient background) with opening of 30 browsers shows that it needs about 60% of time for this operation. And it was about two times faster than Squeak 3.7 during opening of 100 empty windows. Download and here: http://www.comtalk.net/Squeak/87 -- Pavel

MinimalMorphic report
by Pavel Krivanek 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

Hi all, I'm slowly working on MinimalMorphic cleanup. The latest version (MinimalMorphicLoader-pk.17.mcz) has now 48 unimplemented methods. I've got an experimental image that has 24 unimplemented methods it needs some cleanup in the KernelImage code. How to build the image: 1) load http://www.comtalk.net/Squeak/uploads/98/KernelImage-MC-7067.zip 2) maximize the window evaluate code ((MCHttpRepository location: 'http://squeaksource.com/KernelImage' user: '' password: '') loadVersionFromFileNamed: 'MinimalMorphicLoader-pk.17.mcz') load. 3) evaluate MinimalMorphicLoader load You may report bugs on Mantis in project Squeak Packages, category MinimalMorpnic. In the beginning some DNUs are common because of missing last events etc. -- Pavel

Traits in use (was Re: Re: Squeak and Namespaces)

Now that they've been in the base image for a decent length of time, I'm curious to hear of any war stories from using Traits outside of a research context. I've never used them in anger myself, so it would be very interesting to hear from those who have. Avi

[ANN] SqueakMap Package Loader new release
by Brian Rice 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

This release (1.1) puts together a number of small improvements to the SqueakMap package loader UI and is available now on SqueakMap. Improvements: - Installed packages and releases are now marked in bold. - Searching now also uses the description field. - All of the main features of the app are now in a visible button bar. - ToolBuilder support is used if available. This means two mostly- identical UIs, but that it will retain compatibility with Squeak versions pre-3.9. - The search bar is more obviously labeled. - Menu entries are now shorter and more readable. Known Issues: - Searching does not update the package list selection in the ToolBuilder UI. - On updating to this version, the non-ToolBuilder UI will be (re-) opened even though the ToolBuilder UI will be installed in the menu. These should be fixed in a release soon. Enjoy! -- -Brian http://briantrice.com
