>First things first, >1) All-in-One Download : let Squeak All-in-One point to 4.3 instead of 4.2 >2) Individual Download / Image file : let Squeak Release point to 4.3 >instead of 4.2 >3) Individual Download / Sources : Tell that SqueakV4.1.sources is for >Squeak 4.1 , 4.2 and 4.3 That stuff's done. >Certainly, there is more to do, like giving a clue about what is the >prefered VM release... The VM is included with the All-in-One. Cog will be the standard VM starting with 4.4. Beyond that, they can go to http://www.squeakvm.org, join the beginners VM mailing list, etc. >Also, If I click Squeak CD on left, it offers a link to the past >(Squeak 3.9), giving me like a taste of abandonware... >I'd say update the CD to latest release or just drop the page and let >an access only thru historical filter ;) I've sent an email to Janko to remove the links for the CD, DVD, and Merchandise pages in the left hand menu. I don't have access to that part of the site. Thanks, Chris

Sound like you have a clear vision of how that page should look. I'll make you a deal. If you make a list of specific changes, then I'll change that page pursuant to your list. Chris

The squeak download page http://www.squeak.org/Download/ offers a confusing mixture of 4.2 in the central pane, and 4.3 in the right pane (all in one). Moreover, the bottom details a SqueakV4.1.sources... for Squeak4.1 (only ?) This page deserves a bit of attention. Nicolas

CFP: 6th Workshop on Dynamic Languages and Applications (DYLA'12)
by Damien Cassou 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

=================================================================== 6th Workshop on Dynamic Languages and Applications Colocated with 26th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2012) 11–16 June 2012, Beijing, China =================================================================== Web site: http://scg.unibe.ch/wiki/events/dyla2012 The DYLA Workshop series focuses on the revival of dynamic languages. These days, dynamic languages (like Lisp, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Lua, etc...) are getting ever more popular. This is a call to arms for academia! We need to explore the future of dynamic languages through its human aspects and technical issues. We also ought to look back and pick up solutions from existing dynamic languages (such as Scheme, Smalltalk, or Self) to be rediscovered and spread around. Goal and Topics The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss new advances in the design, implementation and application of dynamically typed languages that, sometimes radically, diverge from the statically typed class-based mainstream with limited reflective capabilities. Another objective of the workshop is to discuss new as well as older “forgotten” languages and features in this context. The workshop will have a demo-oriented style. The idea is to allow participants to demonstrate new and interesting features and discuss what they feel is relevant for the dynamic language community. All participants need to submit a two-page description (LNCS format) of their presentation or/and tool demonstration. Each accepted paper will be presented for 20–30 minutes. Moreover, all workshop attendees will be asked to give 10-minute “lightning demos” of whatever they bring with them. A dedicated session will be allocated for this, provided there is ample time available. A session on pair programming is also planned. People will then get a chance to share their technology by closely interacting with other participants. Submission page is http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dyla2012 The expected audience of this workshop is practitioners and researchers sharing the same interest in dynamically typed languages. Lua, Python, Ruby, Scheme and Smalltalk are gaining a significant popularity both in industry and academia. However, each community has the tendency to only look at what it produced. Broadening the scope of each community is the goal of the workshop. To achieve this goal we will form a PC with leading persons from all languages mentioned above, fostering participation from all targeted communities. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to: - what features make a language a dynamic one? - agents, actors, active object, distribution, concurrency and mobility - delegation, prototypes, mixins, traits - first-class closures, continuations, environments - reflection and meta-programming - (dynamic) aspects for dynamic languages - higher-order objects & messages - other exotic dynamic features - multi-paradigm & static/dynamic-marriages - (concurrent/distributed/mobile/aspect) virtual machines - optimization of dynamic languages - automated reasoning about programs written in dynamic languages - improved or novel IDE support for dynamic languages - empirical studies about the application of dynamic languages - best practices and patterns specific to dynamic languages - use of dynamic features by library & framework developers - reverse engineering and analysis of dynamic applications - program correctness through unit testing (as opposed to types) - applications of dynamic languages: embedded systems, robotic systems, web site, ... And any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic languages: Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, Javascript, Scheme, Lisp, Self, ABCL, Prolog, Ioke, Clojure and many more... Important dates - Due date for full workshop papers submission: April 17th, 2012 - Notification of acceptance: April 27th, 2012 - Workshop: June 12th, 2012 Organizers - Alexandre Bergel, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile - Damien Cassou, Arles research group at INRIA, France - Jorge Ressia, University of Bern, Switzerland - Serge Stinckwich, UMMISCO, IRD/UPMC/VNU, Vietnam Program Committee - Alexandre Bergel, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile - Carl Friedrich Bolz, Heinrich-Heine-Universität, Germany - Camillo Bruni, Camillo Bruni, RMoD, INRIA, France - Damien Cassou, Arles research group at INRIA, France - Adrian Kuhn, UBC, Canada - Olivier Michel, UPEC, France - Lukas Renggli, Google, Switzerland - Jorge Ressia, University of Bern, Switzerland - Serge Stinckwich, UMMISCO, IRD/UPMC/VNU, Vietnam - Juan Pablo Sandoval Alcocer, University of Chile, Chile

new Cog VMs in http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2540/
by Eliot Miranda 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

new Cog VMs in http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2540/. Cog VM binaries as per VMMaker.oscog-eem.154/r2540. Fix bad conceptual bug with become on methods. Unlike full and incremental GC, the reference from a Cog method to its method object must not be remapped since they're two halves of the same object. Fix FileStreamTest>testPositionPastEndIsAtEnd on unix & Mac OS. Merge Merge VMConstruction-Plugins-OSProcessPlugin-dtl.33's changes. Regenerate the apparently truncated nscogsrc ZipPlugin.c. Handle more libc variations for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the unix launch scripts. -- best, Eliot

SS3 downtime - today 2pm PDT
by Dale Henrichs 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

We are in the process of tracking down the root cause of inordinate i/o delays on http://ss3.gemstone.com[1]. In the meantime, we're going to tweak some of the system settings and will cycle the stone. The plan is to cycle the stone this afternoon at 2PM PDT and the system should be down for just a few minutes ... if that will cause any inconvenience let me know and I'll reschedule ... Dale [1] http://forum.world.st/http-ss3-gemstone-com-is-EXTREMELY-slow-td4528259.html
