Wow, impressive improvements! Seems like „soon“ Bloc and Gtk could be on the same footing, and FFI improvements „never hurt anybody“. The rest of the list is no less spectacular. Probably more spectacular, but I’m constrained by platform requirements, so I can’t use interesting languages to

Wonderful to hear. Unless mistaken, SOIL should support multiple open databases , so unless you expect intra-database consistency,since "you'll get an object back", it should "just work" for objects possibly instantiated from different DB's ? From: Norbert Hartl Sent: Wednesday, April 24,

[Pharo-dev] [P12 nearing realease] dark theme problems (wrt. code snippets)

2024-04-18 Thread Miloslav.Raus--- via Pharo-dev
Hi, Currently, if you use dark theme, for example the Welcome or Documentation apps show dark code on dark background. I know it's pretty late, but perhaps an easy fix would be possible (?themed regions for code? or something) ? Cheers, M.R.

[Pharo-dev] Will there be a new PharoLauncher (with [somewhat] current VM) for the 12.0 Release ?

2024-04-18 Thread Miloslav.Raus--- via Pharo-dev
Hi. The official launcher (from Downloads page) is dated-a-f. (For example won't repaint when alt-tabbed to, unless some ). The latest release from github also wasn't satisfactory (but IDK exactly how). I'm currently using a contemporary image/vm with master PharoLauncher, and the experience

Hi how exactly does one do this on Windows, without violating the "msi contract" (i.e. one was as dumb enogh to install the proposed msi package some time back) ? Ie. I'm perfectly capable of overwriting the VM, but don't tell me it's the right thing to do" (tm). M.R.

and woot: I'm a good parser (bullshit eliminator; went for a few of the examples - after you hinted it is super-permissive), but there is no reason for the default to be that tolerant. perhaps an introduction of "culture" fo the default parsing, and otherwise some format rules ?
