We will improve the site to make it easier to know where questions should go. As for your problem, it may be that the response you got in the Package Loader was an error instead of the package itself. So, the zip stream may be trying to unzip a plain text 404 error or 505 error. Which packages were you trying to install? By the way, you should probably subscribe to the Squeak Dev List (or at least monitor its archives) to see the answer to this post. You can find a link to 'squeak-dev mailing-list' on this page: http://www.squeak.org/Community. Thank you for your feedback. -- Jason Rogers "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."

[ANN] new update 6707
by stéphane ducasse 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hi all Traits have been pushed in the update stream. We will put soon an image on the ftp. Adrian and alex have been preparing some extra menus for the browser and the fact that we do not see uses: in class definition when not needed (ie when the class does not use traits). These changes are to come. This means that traits will be unnoticed if not needed. Next update will contain a lot of simplex fixes that have been pending. If you get frustrated because your cool fixes is not harvested please shout ;). We are trying to get a team on foot to review more actively the fixes, if you are interested please join v3.9 mailing-list. Stef and adrian PS: Marcus is back from chile and we will schedule the final release certainly for end of february or mid march. So we will certainly move in beta beginning of february.

by Giovanni Corriga 20 Dec '05

Squeak Map changes and upgrades 4. Installing the latest HV 5. Some notes on Squeak's UI 6. Don't forget your updates 7. Singletons in Squeak 8. Stable Smallwiki1 source on Squeaksource 9. Upcoming Squeak Chats You'll find the complete report at http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5740 . The past issues archive can be found at http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5751 .

About ToolBuilder and Plus Tool set
by stéphane ducasse 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hi all I would really to know how to proceed with the ToolBuilder framework. In particular, I would like to know where I can find information about what are the UI policy not to break the work done and how to reinforce it. For example, should we track all the PopUpMenu that are not issued by the UIManager and replace them by adequate message. Does it make sense? Is is what the toolPlus tools are already proposing? Should we make a simple analyze to show the difference between a standard tools and its Plus one and migrate the changes to the Plus so that we can get rid of the standard one? I took for example ObjectExplorer and ObjectExplorerPlus and the difference in the interface is quite large and I do not understand why? I wanted to start to check the changes between ObjectExplorer and its Plus... ObjectExplorer selectors difference: ObjectExplorerPlus selectors a Set(#stopMonitoring #explorerFor:withLabel: #openExplorerFor:withLabel: #trash #label #genericMenu: #doItContext #openExplorerFor: #selector #step #initialExtent #shouldGetStepsFrom: #parentObject #monitor: #explorerFor: #doesNotUnderstand: #defsOfSelection #trash: #chasePointers #codePaneMenu:shifted: #monitorList #object #release #objectReferencesToSelection #referencesToSelection #openBrowser: #world #getList #selectedClass #explorerKey:from: #contentsSelection) So a lot between the version taken to introduce toolbuilder and now. The explorer got a lot more features, step....active monitor list.... Now I would like to know whether the ToolsPlus should be as UI framework specific as possible? Now the other question: how can we continue to push this effort since I'm afraid that we will start to lose it if we do not do something. Stef

GUI updating problem
by Marcus Pedersén 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hi! I have got a GUI containing a TextMorph and my app is supposed to connect to a database. Just before I connect to my database I change my TextMorph like this: myTextMorph contents: 'Connecting...'. .....code for connecting to db. But the GUI is not updated until I'm connected to the db. How do I make sure that the GUI is updated before the connection starts? Something like?: myTextMorph contents: 'Connecting...'. myGUI isUpdated whileFalse: []. .....code for connecting to db. Many thanks in advance! Marcus

The Squeak Command framework
by Hilaire Fernandes 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

I am wondering about the Command framework within Squeak. (Class Command and CommandHistory). It appears there are some references to Morph, is the Command framework closely related to Morph? Can it be used for non morphic stuff without bad surprise? I will be interested to read some feedback about its use. Hilaire

Monticello+Suggestion
by nicolas cellier 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hello, Monticello is a great idea, but there are so many projects... One little simple thing could greatly enhance its use and usefullness: I suggest one can search for keywords in project descriptions rather than just in project names. Thus, it would be much easier to find people interested in same subjects and having already started a project, and eventually join them if they will. For example, if I enter Complex or Matrix or Euler or Quaternion, no project name matches, though I am quite sure these things are here... By now, i have to google... Does anyone agree?
