I've updated the Macintosh Carbon VM to include the latest changes for serial port logic which was driven by changes in the Unix serial port plugin. Plus Bert identified that horizontal wheel scrolling didn't work correctly, oddly it's never worked since I think 2002. People must not use those funky dual touch/action track pads on the macintosh I'd guess.
I've added these changes to the SVN tree on squeakvm.org
I've also uploaded the new VM as Squeak 4.2.2beta1U.app.zip found via http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html
If someone other than Bert confirm the horizontal scrolling works, plus I couldn't test the altered serial port logic since I don't have a serial like device around that my mac would talk to. Promptly report any issues...
Hint, don't forget to purchase your copy of ST80Docs or SqueakDocs on the iPhone to help defer the costs of my yearly Apple development license as you click thru to download the VM.
4.2.2b1 We update system to 10.6.1 and newest xCode Build powerpc VM with gcc 4.0 Run Static Analyser FilePlugin.c SetVMPathFromApplicationDirectory memory leak from vmPathString
NSCursorWrappers.m fix memory leak, bitmap, image
sqMacMain.c fixupNonAbsolutePath memory leak from resourcePathString
sqMacNSPluginUILogic2.c handle_CMD_SHARED_MEMORY memory leak from colorspace
sqmacUIEventsUniversal.c Bert reported scroll wheel movement was wrong. We did not get kEventParamMouseWheelAxis correctly This problem oddly has existed for years.
SerialPort, use unix serial port logic that now supports named ports, instead of older carbon solutions.

I use them all the time, i never see a problem ...

For scrolling horizontally in Squeak?

It isn't visible yet. There is a link to 4.2.1beta1
BTW, John, why all your VMs are always qualified beta? From the outside, it looks strange :-) I suggest to remove the tag.

That is a historical feature.
However given the maturity of the macintosh carbon VM code base, I'll remove the tag on the next iteration!

Is it intentional there is no "Squeak VM Opt.sig" anymore?

oops
Let me fix that
For the curious that is a PGP signature file for the binary.

The paranoid can use PGP to confirm the binary for the VM is the one that I signed via PGP encryption.

Ok, I've altered the master Squeak 4.2.2beta1U.app.zip and added the signature file. Also I've attached it. People who have made copies (like for the pharo site) might want to re- download it to ensure you've the correct zip file. found via http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

Hi John,
One very small thing I noticed: I maximize the Squeak window, save the image and open it again. Then the window is moved some pixels to the right so that it extends under the dock. Maximizing again with the green window button fixes it, so it is very minor.
Thanks for your effort building the VMs!
Cheers, Bernhard

That behavior is not new. I cannot remember when it started but it is there for some time now.

Ah, yes well the VM has never had a concept of storing the top/left position of the window. It does store the width/height. At the start of time the squeak window was set to Rect windowBounds = { 44, 8, 408, 648 }; /* default window bounds */ //Dec 17th, 1996 9:21 AM
Currently it's window = SetUpWindow(44, 8, 44+height, 8+width,gSqueakWindowType,gSqueakWindowAttributes);
So as you see it's not been an issue for any of the developers to re- think. I did make a mantis report http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7400
To fix we would have to store the top/left somewhere in the image, then consider issues about platform dependencies and when you move between machines that have multiple screens, or single screens of different sizes.

I just had an idea. Even if we do not store top/left, it might be an improvement to use x/0 as top/left, where x would be the menubar height.
What do others think?
