Casey, Any of the Unix VMs at squeakvm.org/unix can run the Squeak 4.0 image. A wide variety of Unix systems and distributions are supported, and as Levente mentions a brand new vm build is likely to happen, but not necessarily in your release time frame. I think it is best to use the files from squeakvm.org/unix (despite the concerns that Levente mentions) because these are the publicly distributed current versions, and they are fully capable of running the Squeak 4.0 image. The said, the primary objective of the 4.0 release is to ship the relicensed image, so IMO if you do not include any Unix VM files at all, you will still meet the objectives of the release. Dave

Build squeak vm screencast

Hi, I've published a screencast on how to build the VM on Linux: http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/03/build-squeak-vm-on-linux.html It would like to have a similar screencast for OSX and Windows (I use Linux only). I can do the boring video cutting stuff. Someone ? Cheers, Laurent Laffont

Re: [Vm-dev] Re: [Squeak 4.0] RC3 is out
by Casey Ransberger 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Here's the plan: When I hear these bits are good, I'm going to cut a new directory for 4.0. It's contents will looks just like what's in the 3.10 directory, with the above files swapped in. The reason why you're seeing those files, and in particular why it doesn't make sense, is that you're seeing them out of context. The reason why you aren't seeing the other files and directories that generally accompany them is: the other files don't need to change for the 4.0 release. I will in effect be copying the entire 3.10 directory to 4.0, and then remove/replace the files that correspond to what's in the final release candidate. The reason I'm scripting everything is, if there's a last minute change to for example, the license text, I don't want to have to go to all the trouble to copy and zip everything manually; it's time consuming and error prone. I'm set up now to take a change to e.g., the version of the VM, or something in the image, type 'make' and then build and package the whole multiplatform distribution in a minimum of steps. The reason Squeak4.0-basic.zip doesn't make sense is: traditionally the Unix VM was packaged separately from the image, sources, and changes files. I didn't see anything about 4.0 which warranted changing this policy. My goal with this release was to get to a ship-able artifact as quickly as possible while tolerating last minute changes. I very nearly refused to update the Mac and Windows VMs in the zip files as well, since these are really orthogonal to the mission of Squeak 4.0, but I had some extra time so I did it anyway. In short, it will make more sense when these files are in their final locations on the ftp server. On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Ken G.

[ENH] A better finalization support (VM & language side)
by Igor Stasenko 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Please, review the http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7473 There are two sets of changesets - one for vmmaker and other is for language-side. A VMMaker changeset is based on VMMaker-dtl.159. Here the little benchmark, between old and new weak registries: { WeakRegistry. WeakFinalizationRegistry } collect: [:class | | registry weaklings time1 time2 | registry := class new. WeakArray removeWeakDependent: registry. weaklings := (1 to: 100000) collect: [:i | Object new ]. time1 := [ weaklings do: [:each | registry add: each ] ] timeToRun. weaklings at: 100 put: nil. Smalltalk garbageCollect; garbageCollect. time2 := [ registry finalizeValues ] timeToRun. time1 @ time2 ] {7816@41 . 4114@0} While its not much better at first benchmark (since using the same approach to store objects in one dictionary), while other is significant, since there is no longer need to scan a whole collection to detect an items which become a garbage. Btw, i wonder, why current WeakRegistry using a WeakKeyDictionary instead of WeakIdentityKeyDictionary? Isn't a weak refs is identity-based? I am also a bit wonder, why WeakRegistry has to support a copy protocol? It may lead to unpredictable behavior once you try to copy such kind of container, no matter how well you protect it. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

[Squeak 4.0] RC3 is out

People of Squeak, The RC3 distribution of Squeak 4.0 is now available at: http://ftp.squeak.org/4.0alpha/Squeak4.0.rc3.tar.gz http://ftp.squeak.org/4.0alpha/rc3/ Please chip in, test it out, and reply to this thread if you see any problems. Classes of problems I'd consider blockers: - Broken VM - Corrupt file - Things to do with the image that potentially block relicensing If all is well, I will go ahead and roll the 4.0 directory structure with all of the other files one usually finds there. Thanks! -- Casey Ransberger

[Squeak 4.0] RC3: Windows VM for RC3
by Casey Ransberger 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Late tonight or tomorrow, I intend to give one last stab at getting John's recommended OS X VM packaged up with the Mac distro of 4.0 with a third release candidate. This is a good time for folks to sound off about whether or not I should also swap out the Win32 VM for something newer too. If you do respond, please supply a link to the VM in question so I can find it quickly. Thanks everybody! Freedom beckons! -- Casey Ransberger
