This is really encouraging as to Spec2's readiness for real applications.

Impressive. No easy task to document every feature and kudos that it's so
easy for the community to contribute.

Awesome! I had hacked this together but it would reset every time he sources
file updated.

Small nitpick: Everyone please use the secure URL i.e.
https://pharo.org/download

Yes, you’re right!
Pharo Launcher is mostly compatible with the previous one.
When using Pharo Launcher 2.0, image metadata will be converted from the old 
format to the new one.
I added an upgrade section on Pharo Launcher documentation: 
https://pharo-project.github.io/pharo-launcher/installation/#upgrade-notes

Tell me if this is enough.

Christophe

[Pharo-users] Pharo.org is down?

[Tim Mackinnon]

Is there planned maintenance on pharo.org? Is been down for a while today….

Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] Pharo Launcher 2.0 released!

[Cédrick Béler]

Great Job. It looks indeed nicer.

I found the docs great too (https://pharo-project.github.io/pharo-launcher 
).

One suggestion would be to add the help contextually. I tried to look at. There 
is description of commands and SpLinkPresenter but don’t think it’s easy to 
add. I wanted to add the ling in the help description.

For instance, the one to create an image for template:
WebBrowser openOn: 
'https://pharo-project.github.io/pharo-launcher/create-images/‘

Any way of doing that ?



Cheers,

Cédrick
