what is the status of the font rendering
by stephane ducasse 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Hi I should say that I'm confused so my question may be idiot. Here it is: what's the status of the font rendering effort. Andy if I remember you worked on something and there was some discussion with sophiers. Does it make sense to include Rome in the next release and slowly migrate to it? Stef

Morphic: registering for doubleClick events on tite prevents window from being dragged? (Skylark theme)
by Matthias Berth 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Hello, I thought I would implement the "double click on a window title to close it" behavior. I use the skylark 2 theme from http://www.comtalk.net/Squeak/87 on Squeak 3.9. Skylark adds a label area to the window where it puts buttons for closing the window etc. Inside that method I added code to listen for double click events: SystemWindow>>initializeLabelArea "Initialize the label area (titlebar) for the window." ..... "Make windows collapse and expand by double clicking on their title" labelArea on: #doubleClick send: #collapseOrExpand to: self. Now I noticed that double clicking works, but I can no longer move the window by dragging the title. What's going on? I am pretty unexperienced in Morphic, so maye I am missing something basic here? Cheers Matthias PS: Here is the whole method initializeLabelArea "Initialize the label area (titlebar) for the window." label := StringMorph new contents: labelString; font: Preferences windowTitleFont emphasis: (Preferences windowTitleFont isTTCFont ifTrue: [0] ifFalse: [1]). "Add collapse box so #labelHeight will work" collapseBox := self createCollapseBox. self useTheme ifFalse: [stripes := Array with: (RectangleMorph newBounds: bounds) with: (RectangleMorph newBounds: bounds)]. "see extent:" self addLabelArea. self useTheme ifFalse: [labelArea addMorph: (stripes first borderWidth: 1). labelArea addMorph: (stripes second borderWidth: 2)]. self setLabelWidgetAllowance. self addCloseBox. self addMenuControl. labelArea addMorph: label. self wantsExpandBox ifTrue: [self addExpandBox]. labelArea addMorph: collapseBox. self setFramesForLabelArea. "Make windows collapse and expand by double clicking on their title" labelArea on: #doubleClick send: #collapseOrExpand to: self. Preferences clickOnLabelToEdit ifTrue: [label on: #mouseDown send: #relabel to: self]. Preferences noviceMode ifTrue: [closeBox ifNotNil: [closeBox setBalloonText: 'close window' translated]. menuBox ifNotNil: [menuBox setBalloonText: 'window menu' translated]. collapseBox ifNotNil: [collapseBox setBalloonText: 'collapse/expand window' translated]]

Notifications to update a tool based on OmniBrowser
by Damien Cassou 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Hi, I'm wondering how a node (or a command) can inform the browser that a refresh is needed. I tried using #signalChanged but nothing refreshes. Do I have to register somewhere for this event? This is for OmniBrowser 335. Thank you -- Damien Cassou

Hi-- I'm writing the Spoon book. Its structure is loosely based on the "blue book" ("Smalltalk-80: The Language and Its Implementation" by Adele Goldberg and David Robson). You can read the current draft at: http://netjam.org/spoon/the%20Spoon%20book.pdf Thanks for any feedback! -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist www.netjam.org Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)]

ANN: separate Squeak packages created for different Debian vesions
by Matej Kosik 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Friends, To make sure that Squeak can be installed on every relevant Debian (GNU/Linux) version, I decided to create builds for all the three Debian versions: - - Sarge (known as "stable") - - Etch (known as "testing") - - Sid (known as "sid") It was not necessary because the same squeak binaries worked quite well on all of these Debian versions but it might have been confusing to add deb http://ftp.squeak.org/debian/ sid main deb-src http://ftp.squeak.org/debian/ sid main to `sarge' or `etch'. Additionally, the fact that the same set of prebuilt binaries worked well on all the three Debian versions is more coincidence than a rule. It is safer to distribute separate binaries because of the possible (non-)availability dynamic libraries against which our (Squeak virtual machine) binary is linked. This set of dynamic libraries in general differs from Debian version to Debian version. Details (what to write to your /etc/apt/sources.list file) are explained in http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3616 I have tried to install and use the following three packages: - - squeak - - squeak-plugin - - seaside on all the three Debian versions: - - stable - - testing - - unstable I have noticed no problems. If anyone does, let me know. When new Debian version rotation occurs (testing becomes stable, unstable becomes testing and new unstable will be forked), those repositories will be properly rotated to reflect that too. New packages (if some will have to be created) and enhancements of the existing ones will be put to the `unstable' subdirectory. If Squeak relicensing to Apache License 2.0 succeeds, that will also open new possibilities.

Squeak-dev image is an image made for squeak developers. *Important notice:* This version is based on Squeak 3.10 7091. You can download it here: http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev/beta/ Changes in this version: ------------------------------ - OmniBrowser has been widely updated. A new way of building the interface appeared. Thanks goes to Lukas Renggli for his implementation of the morphic builder for 3.9 and his help for isolating 3.9 fixes for OB. - DynamicProtocols shouldn't slow down your image anymore. Slow protocols are deactivated by default now. - Lot's of other packages have been updated too.

To upgrade your already existing squeak-dev image: 1) World menu->open...->Package Universe Browser 2) Update list from network 3) Select all upgrades 4) Install selection 5) Execute: 'DEVImageCreator default install' (all windows will be closed) Prepared packages: -------------------------- There are a lot of packages prepared for you in this image.

[BUG][Squeak-dev Image] Don't upgrade your image
by Damien Cassou 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

Hi, this is a notification for people using the squeak-dev image: !! Please do not upgrade your image !! This is because OmniBrowser has changed its way of building morphic interfaces.

RemoteObjects, which version?
by Esteban Lorenzano 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

Hi! I want to play a little bit with the whole "remote objects" idea... and i was making some research about the packages already done for Squeak, but i'm confused: there is a project "RemoteObjects" in squeaksource, but the documentation in wiki points to another project at http// squeak.saltypickle.com/RemoteObjects, and there is another package, rST, that explores the idea... and of course, Knigge project is there too. Which one is convenient to use/extend? what's their status (development, mantained, obsolete, etc.) (BTW, no one of this works properly in my squeak 3.9) Thanks in advance, Esteban -- "Querer es suscitar las paradojas" Camus.
