Nuking VM ImageSegment support (was Re: [squeak-dev] Daily Commit Log; System-bf.916)

There's at least 1.5k of generated source for the Spur ImageSegment load and save support, some 2% of the interpreter/primitives source code. That's a lot, and the code is complex and ugly. If it never really worked before IMO we should nuke it asap. If it worked in some fashion perhaps we can schedule its demise for the 6.0 release's VM. What do others think? _,,,^..^,,,_ best, Eliot

Hi, The Daily Commit Log mail has not appeared any more since Oct 20. Is this an intentional change or a regression? Best, Jakob

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?

Squeaksource.com is down
by David T. Lewis 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

The squeaksource.com service is down due to a failure in the squeaksource image. Cause of failure and estimated time to fix are not yet known. Recovery may require rebuilding from a backup image from 5 October 2016, so additional downtime and possible loss of account data are likely. All actual files are intact on the server and no data loss is anticipated. Dave
