Notifier about "second instance of Squeak"
by Vanessa Freudenberg 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

Trying to run the VMMaker image build scripts on a Mac I'm getting this notifier which does not appear to make sense: [image: image.png] The notifier is interfering with the image startup – after dismissing it I get this error: [image: image.png] The build itself worked. Dismissing this and save + quit appears to work but it is rather confusing. Vanessa

Squeak bundles now in Common Lisp! [humorous]
by Jakob Reschke 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

Dear Common Lispers (formerly Squeakers), Squeak release bundles are now officially in Common Lisp! Here is the proof from the all-knowing GitHub: https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk (or attached image) -- Of course not. The repository simply does not include the Smalltalk code that is the foundation of any bundles. And the GitHub language classification has probably been like this since this repository was created, so I am probably even breaking ancient news here. On a more serious note, is it possible to pin squeak-object-memory to the "Popular repositories" or somehow hoist it to the top? I believe it doesn't get there automatically because it does not contain any code and thus does not get any commits. Kind regards, Jakob

[PSA] How to fix update stream in 22692 build
by Marcel Taeumel 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

Hi all -- All Squeakers that did update their image yesterday to the build number 22692 cannot further update their image. There are several solutions: - Revert method MCFileBasedRepository >> #versionNamed: to older version - Revert package "Monticello" to "Monticello-eem.790" via Monticello Browser Then try "Squeak" > "Update Squeak" again. Cause: The change that came via Monticello-tpr.792 introduced a regression. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best, Marcel

Line wrapping in the help topic window of the HelpBrowser
by Eduardo Ochs 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

Hi all, anyone knows how to control - and disable - the line wrapping in the help topic window of the HelpBrowser? I am using a slightly modified version of the HelpBrowser to store my "executable notes" - its code is here: http://anggtwu.net/SQUEAK/Category-Edrx.st http://anggtwu.net/SQUEAK/Category-Edrx.st.html There are five classes, called "EdrxGuideHelp", "HelpBrowserB", "See", "TestCanvas", "TestLayout", and "TestToolBuilder" in "Category-Edrx", and the annoying line wrapping can be seen in the screenshot... Thanks in advance! Eduardo Ochs http://anggtwu.net/eev-squeak.html

[BUG] TextMorphForEditView wrapFlag
by karl ramberg 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

When a you turn preference wrapFlag off in TextMorphForEditViewyou get Assertion failure in Morph>>#doLayoutIn: ... "2.2) Do one additional run on the layout if requested in #layoutInBounds:." (self hasProperty: #doLayoutAgain) ifTrue: [ self removeProperty: #doLayoutAgain. layout flushLayoutCache. layout layout: self in: layoutBounds]. self assert: (self hasProperty: #doLayoutAgain) not]. ... But redoing the layout can add the property #doLayoutAgain. I think this has to be changed to : ... "2.2) Do one additional run on the layout if requested in #layoutInBounds:." (self hasProperty: #doLayoutAgain) ifTrue: [ layout flushLayoutCache. layout layout: self in: layoutBounds. self removeProperty: #doLayoutAgain.]. self assert: [(self hasProperty: #doLayoutAgain) not]]. ... Best, Karl
