SqueakSSL + SAN certificates
by Levente Uzonyi 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

Hi All, I've implemented support for reading the domain names from the certificate's SAN extension[1] in SqueakSSL. The image side code is in the Inbox[2]. It is backwards compatible -- everything works as before without the VM changes. I've also uploaded the modified files[3][4] for the unix platform, and a diff[5] (which somehow doesn't include the changes of the .h file). The VM support code for other platforms are to be done. These changes fix the failing SqueakSSL test in the Trunk, so I suggest including the .mcz file in the 4.6 release.

Interview with Stonebraker on future of "big data"
by Eliot Miranda 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Hi, I found an interesting nugget at the end of http://www.forbes.com/sites/gilpress/2015/07/29/turing-award-winner-stonebr… which is the need to integrate data models in different databases. “If your application is managing what you want to think of as a single database which is in fact spread over multiple engines,” says Stonebraker, “with different data models, different transaction systems, different everything, than you want a next-generation federation mechanism to make it as simple as possible to program.” This would seem to play to Smalltalk's strengths.

rgb565 bitmap exporter?
by tim Rowledge 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

I don’t suppose anyone has already written (or knows where one is hidden in the image) a bitmap exporter that can write rgb565 ? Pretty daft for me to faff around doing it if there is already one around. I’ve spotted assorted kinda-sorta related code but not (yet) what I need. tim -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim No program done by an undergrad will work after she graduates.

Squeak 5 will run on Rasberry Pi OOTB
by Chris Muller 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

I managed to successfully incorporate the ARM platform into the 5.0 All-In-One -- so Squeak 5 will now start up with one-click on FOUR platforms, OOTB..!! I'm thankful to this community for collaborating to produce and shake out the 4.6 release. As this is a special dual release, your help is needed one more time to help shake out this 5.0 release. Would you please download this latest Squeak-5.0-All-in-One and check it out? We still have a chance to avoid obvious bugs, but we want to keep it as close to the 4.6 release as possible. http://ftp.squeak.org/5.0/Squeak-5.0-All-in-One.zip Here are some things I've noticed already, but I need your help to figure out how to deal with them: - someone said the VM is crashing in the Jenkins build due to ImageSegments tests. Do we want to disable those tests? - Actually, when I ran the tests in the image, there was no VM crash, but the dialog, "Running all tests might take a some minutes" (<--- hey that's some nice grammar there Marcel! ;-) ) appeared TWICE. When I clicked "Yes" the first time they ran, "Yes" a second time, no effect. Just a strange UI bug..? - Look at the image size, its DOUBLE the size of the 4.6 image. Why? I'm getting excited, thank you!! Chris

Just a test

My subscriptions are "off" so I'm trying to make sure that I can still write to this forum L -- Squeak from the very start (introduction to Squeak and Pharo Smalltalk for the (almost) complete and compleate beginner). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6601A198DF14788D&feature=view_all "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Brian Kernighan

23 Jul '15

Hi Screamer (https://nikodemus.github.io/screamer/) is a Lisp library that: "Screamer provides a nondeterministic choice-point operator, a backtracking mechanism, and a forward propagation facility." Is there an equivalent library available in Smalltalk? Thanks Paul
