Hi all
some people asked if we could produce 3.9.1.
Here is their list of suggested items:
"We use the following three fixes that are crucial for any server setup:
0006581: Image freezes (background processes like Seaside make no
progress) and Squeak hoggs CPU
This is the image freezing problem, where connecting with VNC and
moving the mouse would bring the image alive again. When being stuck,
Squeak hoggs the CPU, memory consumtion is stable. http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6581
Note: fix takes only effect if Preferences enable: #serverMode !
--------
0006588: Broken Semaphore>>critical: leads to frozen processes in Delay
VNC doesn't respond to UI events, 0% cpu usage, several processes
frozen in Delay although our Seaside server still responds. http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6588
--------
0006576: Delay is not thread-safe
Delay is not thread-safe since currently the calling process updates
the internal Delay structure itself. If the process gets terminated
while doing this (e.g., adding/removing from SuspendedDelays) the
whole system is left in an inconsistent state and breaks. http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6576
--------
0006524: TTFonts can't load unicode character maps
- http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6524
--------
Font caching
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6089
Something else, that would be good to change is to remove OmniBrowser.
There are two reasons why I've done this manually for the base image
of our build process:
- with the old version of OmniBrowser installed the newer version
cannot be loaded automatically with Monticello (If I remember
correctly because there packages have been moved or renamed)
- for production we need small images (a few MBs per image can make a
significant difference when running hundreds of images)
Now tell me if some others are important for us.
I was thinking that Nebraska and Speech could be removed too.
So let me know I will try to do my best to produce 3.9.1
