Suggestion for 4.6 - Morphic Designer
by Germán Arduino 27 May '17

27 May '17

Hi Guys: Now that 4.5 is near to be released I want to make a suggestion for 4.6. I think that Squeak have a killer weapon a bit forgotten that should be included in the image, it's Morphic Designer [1] from Hasso Platner Institute [2]. I'm loading it fine from several version already [3] but I think that it should be part of the image in 4.6, for example in menu Tools. This would help to lower the barriers of Squeak to newbies (remember that one of the more criticized aspects from all times is the lack of an UI Builder). And Morphic Designer really rocks and should not be forgot, I think that need to be maintained as part of the official image. What think the community?

Installing Filetree
by Bert Freudenberg 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hi all, Dale has been working on a Squeak version of FileTree, which is a Monticello repository backed not by zip files, but a tree of individual class files that can be versioned using git, svn, etc: https://github.com/dalehenrich/filetree/blob/master/doc/SqueakInstall.md Since I don't like cluttering my image with unrelated things, here's how to load it using just Installer - provided you have an up-to-date trunk image with the fixes I posted today: ======================== "Bootstrap from squeak43 branch in squeaksource3" Installer ss3 project: 'FileTree'; install: 'MonticelloFileTree-Core.squeak43'. "Load from local filetree repository (cloned squeak4.3 branch from github into image folder)" Installer monticello mc: (MCFileTreeRepository directory: (FileDirectory uri: 'filetree/repository/')); install: 'MonticelloFileTree-Core' ======================== If you have an older image without the new fixes, giving an explicit version number for the ss3 bootstrap should make it work (e.g. 'MonticelloFileTree-Core.squeak43-dkh.70'). - Bert -

Nice! :) <http://forum.world.st/file/n4813138/font-importer.png> Two questions: 1. Who does the rendering? Looks kind of irregular... See attachment. 2. Can we move it to the "Tools" package?

Seaside3.2 on Squeak5.1 is working well.
by Tobias Pape 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi all I just want to report that Seaside3.2 works well on Squeak5.1 with 1422 passing tests. [1] Thanks for everyone developing Seaside and/or Squeak for taking care! Yay! Best regards -Tobias [1]: There's only one Test error because "'Seaside-Pharo-Continuation' depends on unknown package 'Grease-Pharo-Core'" which is obviously not loaded on Squeak, but gladly that does not hamper functionality.

SqueakJS-invoked Squeak installers
by Craig Latta 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi-- I've written some Squeak installers that are invoked by SqueakJS. When you visit [1], SqueakJS installs native Squeak on localhost and makes a remote-messaging connection to it. Please check it out and let me know how it goes. So far I've tested on macOS/{Chrome,Safari,Firefox}, Windows/{Edge,Chrome,Firefox}, and Linux/{Firefox,Chrome}. thanks! -C [1] http://blackpagedigital.com/squeak -- Craig Latta Black Page Digital Amsterdam | San Francisco craig(a)blackpagedigital.com +31 6 2757 7177 (SMS ok) + 1 415 287 3547 (no SMS)

Happy 20th Birthday Squeak!
by Craig Latta 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi all-- Happy 20th birthday to us! It was twenty years ago that Dan Ingalls and the rest of Alan Kay's team announced Squeak to the world. You really changed things with this run at the fence. :) Thanks again! To celebrate, I've released version 7 alpha 1 of Context, an umbrella project for three other ones: Spoon (a minimal object memory), Naiad (a module system), and Tether (remote messaging). I've also released a fourth, Snowglobe (app streaming). I've written blog posts about each of them at thiscontext.com. I'll post the links in future threads. hooray! -C -- Craig Latta Black Page Digital Amsterdam | San Francisco craig(a)blackpagedigital.com +31 6 2757 7177 (SMS ok) + 1 415 287 3547 (no SMS)

SqueakJS changes its world with ThisWebpage
by Craig Latta 30 Oct '16

Hi-- With the ascendancy of JavaScript, the common execution environment provided by web browsers is effectively another host operating system. SqueakJS is poised to do amazing things on the front end. https://tinyurl.com/gtrcnuz (blog.thiscontext.com) -C -- Craig Latta Black Page Digital Amsterdam | San Francisco craig(a)blackpagedigital.com +31 6 2757 7177 (SMS ok) + 1 415 287 3547 (no SMS)
