Sorry, but I lost track of the recent VM changes.

Could both Nicolas and Eliot please confirm that 202002190233 [tel:2714/202002190233] is the correct version that we should use in the upcoming Squeak release?

Once confirmed, I will do another VM release, which we can then use for building our bundles.

Agreed. It would be easier that way. :-)

Hmm... if there is no benefit for 5.3, we could also swap the VM directly after the 5.3 release to be used for all Trunk (6.0alpha) builds.

I would much rather base 6.0 alpha work on a release vm.  The standard work flow is going to be people installing 5.3, changing the update url to trunk, and updating.  It would be a shame if they also had to install a new vm for this to work fully.

Hi all!

We are currently packaging RC1, which will be the first (and maybe only) release candidate of Squeak 5.3.

Due to recent discussions on the list, here are some infos from yesterday's board meeting:

- Release VM will be 201912311458 if there is no veto

Not a veto but a request that we use the latest VMs here:

https://travis-ci.org/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/jobs/652284937 [https://travis-ci.org/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/jobs/652284937]


These are VMMaker.oscog-nice.2714/202002190233.  The main reasons to use them are that a) that Nicolas recently got a fast primitive highBit working and b) they are otherwise almost identical to 201912311458.  The highBit primitive would then be able to be enableded in 6.0 alpha.

The Mac Pharo builds fail because of a technicality, but all the Squeak ones are good.

- No new sources file for 5.3; so slightly bigger changes file compared to 5.2
- No update of the localization files ("locale") due to time constraints
- Same Linux directory structure as in 5.2 (compact bin/shared in Linux bundle; resources/bin/lib/squeak in all-in-one bundle) due to time constraints
- Next Trunk version will be 6.0alpha ;-)

So, we want to keep the CI infrastructure as is and push the release out as soon as possible. :-)

If we overlooked important fixes from the Inbox, please speak up now! :-)

Best,
Marcel
