I've posted a basic Hydra VM to the usual place
http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html
via ftp or the idisk, look in the
experimental/Hydra
Someone will need to point out where to find a Hydra based image. It will not work on the PowerPC, maybe later this year?
It does not contain any of the usual bundled plugins:
CroquetPlugin.bundle FloatMathPlugin.bundle FT2Plugin.bundle LocalePlugin.bundle mpeg3Plugin.bundle PrintJobPlugin.bundle QuicktimePlugin.bundle ServicesPlugin.bundle SpellingPlugin.bundle SqueakFFIPrims.bundle TestOSAPlugin.bundle UnixOSProcessPlugin.bundle
Since none of those have been cross checked for issues with a Hydra VM. However thoughts are that they should just work.

Displays properly now (at 32) as opposed to the previous refresh issues in 3.8.19b2.
Except when extending the main Squeak Window to 4608 pixels (2048+1280+1280), the last last 536 pixels or so do not refresh properly, and the background image does not extend over the area that does not refresh. You can still click in the black not-refreshable area to open menus, and drag windows back out but their previous images remain. Menus do not display properly in the black area because of mixed up backgrounds. The main OS window outline works properly for dragging to resize etc. This occurs on the other VM's as well so is not specific to Hydra.
Do you want anything particular tried, tests run or whatever?

Er, I recall some bug/feature of the squeak bitblt/render that won't let you have a window > 4096 or pixels? Maybe someone can refresh our collective memory?

There seem to be network connectivity issues, Universe cannot connect to update list from Network.
An attempt to open SqueakMap Package Loader when it tries to update its list since it is more than 10 days old, results in a VM crash.
Don't see a CrashReporter log for it either, unless perhaps I am not looking for the right thing.

It's possible that the network primitives do not work, there was problem getting the socket plugin to compile in the first place. Perhaps the code changes to fix it resulted in a broken plugin. Maybe Igor can confirm if the network works on the WIndows platform.
