Dear fellow Smalltalkers
Mariano, Martin and myself are happy to announce Fuel version 1.9.3 which includes the follwing changes to 1.9 (1.9.1 and 1.9.2 were never officially announced):
- (feature) the #fuelReplacement selector offers the ability to statically
replace an object (e.g. with nil) during analysis. This can lead to significantly smaller graphs and improved speed when serializing large graphs
- (feature) serialize the same graph that was analyzed instead of
retrazing the graph during serialization. This prevents changes in the graph from happening between analysis and serialization
- (change) store source when serializing CompiledMethod objects. Needed
because Opal does not allow decompilation
- (fix) migrate variables across hierarchy
- (feature) Object>>serializeToFileNamed: shortcut for serializing
arbitrary objects
- (fix) better compression for LargeNegativeIntegers (
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/12052/Fuel-could-store-LargeNegativeIntege... )
Pharo30 already includes most of these changes (integration request: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/13000/Integrate-Fuel-1-9-3).
This release runs with:
- Pharo: 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.2, 1.2.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.0, 3.0
- Squeak: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5
The documentation is not up to date yet but we will remedy that situatoin within the next couple of days ( http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/web/pier/software/Fuel). If you encounter any bugs or have suggestions, please contact us on the Fuel mailing list ( http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/roster/pharo-fuel) or create a new issue in our bug tracker (https://code.google.com/p/fuel/)
We want to thank everyone who contributed to this release (by keyboard or opinion) and also all of those people who actively use Fuel.
Cheers, Max
Thank you Max for all your efforts in all aspects: in code, in continuous integration, in support for users, etc.
