find original change set
by Javier Orsaria 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Hi, I was trying to use, in VersionsBrowser, the feature "find original change set" for a method. In old versions (3.8 and earlier) this work fine. But in 3.10 and 3.9 don´t. I followed the sequence and detect the problem at MethodChangeRecord-noteNewMethod: noteNewMethod: newMethod "NEVER do this. It is evil." currentMethod _ nil. should be: noteNewMethod: newMethod "NEVER do this. It is evil." currentMethod _ newMethod. This way work as I expect. But with that comment I understand was intentioned. What is the problem with this? I can´t see it... I'm the devil? Thanks, Javier

Cannot read 4.3 image on Raspberry Pi
by Jim Rosenberg 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Ouch! I have a lot of artistic work which is developed in Squeak on Linux -- currently only up to 4.3 (which is working fine for me, so I haven't upgraded). I'm trying to run one of my 4.3 images on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ which is at Raspbian 10 (buster), and with the current armv6 squeak VM, getting the message This interpreter (vers. 6521) cannot read image file (vers. 6504). Suggestions? -Thanks in advance, Jim

Transcript losing output when #processPreemptionYields = true
by jaromir 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Transcript may lose some output for #processPreemptionYields = true Example (semaphore prearmed with 2 signals): |accessProtect| Smalltalk vm processPreemptionYields: true. Transcript cr. accessProtect := Semaphore new signal signal. [accessProtect critical: [ Transcript cr; show: 'Process 1a '. 10000 factorial. Transcript cr; show: 'Process 1b '. ]] fork. Processor yield. [accessProtect critical: [ Transcript cr; show: 'Process 2a '. 10000 factorial. Transcript cr; show: 'Process 2b '. ]] forkAt: 41. Transcript cr; show: 'Process UIa '. 0.3 second wait. Transcript cr; show: 'Process UIb '. Output: "this is ok" Process 1a Process 2a Process 2b Process 1b Process UIa Process UIb "Here Process 2a output missing!" Process 1a Process 2b Process UIa Process 1b Process UIb "Or even this came out" Process 1a Process 2b Process 1b Process UIb The problem is probably related to the post: Transcript error when forceUpdate: false http://forum.world.st/Transcript-error-when-forceUpdate-false-td5126397.html Similar workaround (Collections-mt.923 @ inbox) may fix this issue too.

Unicode Ranges you might want to copy
by gettimothy 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi Folks, You might find the below handy. Fwiw, I have coded the UnicodeRangeBrowser SeasideApp to display all the below (it times out before all display, I will be doing refactor and more development). I am also coding a utility class to provide information such as below in a variety of ways. fwiw, here are my current todo notes for this font information. unifont provide link to the unicode spec. provide browser fonts list. provide squeak fonts list. provide phare fonts list ^self squeak fonts list: what are Variant Selectors ? show gaps in the ranges. provide a link(s) to required fonts that will make a range display. displays on: browser list, squeak, emacs, xterm... status bar...broken, partial, full. use cases for fonts pairs with xyz example superscripts and subscripts The goal is to show what works and to find/test fonts that will support stuff. I am modelling the Seaside app on https://jrgraphix.net/research/unicode_blocks.php But...for each unicode range, I intend to display smalltalk specific helpers on what/where to get fonts for both the browser side and the image side. --------------snip ------------------- (16r000020 asCharacter to: 16r00007F asCharacter) -> 'Basic Latin' (16r0000A0 asCharacter to: 16r0000FF asCharacter) -> 'Latin-1

Transcript error when forceUpdate: false (?)
by jaromir 01 Feb '21

I ran the following in Squeak 5.3: TranscriptStream forceUpdate: false. [ 10000 timesRepeat: [ Transcript show: 'x' ] ] forkAt: 39 When the Transcript window fills up, 'Message not understood' and 'Assertion failure' appear. I'm wondering is this a bug? Thanks.

(16r00E007F + 16r000001) asCharacter
by gettimothy 31 Jan '21

31 Jan '21

Hi Folks, I am diving into Unicode and resultant parts for my WikitextParser work and am asking for some pointers on where to look in Squeak/Morphic for how fonts interact with Morphic. The maximum unicode character per here: https://jrgraphix.net/research/unicode_blocks.php is 16r00E007F So, I decided to see what Character would do if I dialed it up to 11 a bit... (16r00E007F + 16r000001) asCharacter What this tells me is that Character just has an integer and that the display of the character associated with that integer is "delegated" to something else (which makes sense). So, as I try to "duplicate" the displayed characters at https://jrgraphix.net/research/unicode_blocks.php with an appropriate Font (or "Font strategy...meaning, detect the font required and load it on the fly in a particular use-case) I figured I would ask for help in clarifying my presuppositions on how we get from 16r00E0041 asCharacter to 16r00E0042 asCharacter (get it? from A to B....heh). to expand a bit. I have characters that do show up in Chrome that do not show up in Squeak. I assume this only has to do with the Font not supporting that particular integer. Is this assumption correct? thanks in advance.

Unloading EToys from Squeak Image

All, I would like to unload the EToys packages from image. I tried with the Monticello Browser, unloading seems to proceed. But at the end nothing is reacting anymore. Any hint on how to successfully unload the EToys? Should I use a workspace in an MVC project? Kind regards, Arjen
