Since then nothing really happen. So will the changes of eliot integrated or not in the VMs? Stef stephane ducasse 2008-08-30T10:26:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128952 Hi: The cateories of the subject are on 3.8 images, with classes as MPEGPlayer, MPEGFile, StreamingMP3Sound, etc but aren't anymore on 3.10 (Not checked 3.9). I searched Universes and SM but not found similar things. Any guide or comment about this question will be appreciated. Cheers.

I have to execute something, to make all works ok? Thanks, Esteban Esteban Lorenzano 2008-08-29T13:22:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128941 I recently discovered the Search Browser. But I cannot find much information about it. What are the search string formats to find implementors, classes, strings, etc? How to use wildcards? Can it be made case insensitive?

Microsoft is using the "Kuwaiti Algorithm", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwaiti_algorithm Thanks. Found it deep in the FAQ section of the SqueakSource page. (Expected it in the projects Overview as in http://www.squeaksource.com/Seaside29.html which states "Code commited to this repository will be automatically under MIT license.") Bye Torsten Torsten Bergmann 2008-08-28T06:34:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128924 Hi, I'm looking for a simple way to run test suites and have results like test runner... and test runner does not understand suites (just cases). Is there a "suite runner" somewhere, or maybe I'm using test runner wrong? Thanks, Esteban Esteban Lorenzano 2008-08-27T12:06:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128922 Depending on the underlying arithmetical calendar type this should return either Sha'ban 17, 1429 or Sha'ban 18, 1429 or Sha'ban 19, 1429 See http://www.phys.uu.nl/~vgent/islam/islam_tabcal.htm Is the library able to handle different intercalary schemes? Whats the license of the code? Found no info on Squeaksource about that. Thx Torsten Torsten Bergmann 2008-08-27T08:58:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128919 Hi-- I'm using Growl/Snarl[1] to post notifications from Squeak. Of course, they're somewhat annoying when Squeak is already the active host application. Is there some way to tell whether Squeak is in the foreground or background, as far as the host window system is concerned? I only care about getting the user's attention when some other host application's GUI is active (and thus possibly obscuring Squeak's GUI). thanks! -C [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growl_(software) Craig Latta 2008-08-26T23:33:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128915 Hi. We uploaded to SqueakSource (for Squeak) and to the Cincom Public Repository (for Visualworks) a new release of the project called "Chalten" (2.0) that is our implementation of the Time Domain (not only of the Gregorian Calendar now). This model was born as a representation of the Gregorian Calendar, and, in this last version, the model support the Gregorian, Julian, Islamic an Hebrew Calendars. Many refactorings was done from the original model to get this last version wich reifyes many concepts of the Time Domain that Smalltalk-80 does not; for example: day, day of month, month of year, month, year, calendars, time zones, filters over the timeline, etc.. The main objective of this model is to easily, and in a "SDL way", solve problems of the Time Domain that are not easy (or impossible) to do with the Smalltalk-80 abstractions. t provides also some concepts that are useful for financial application, among others, like relative dates and time line filters. This model also uses the units models (Acon Maximiliano Taborda 2008-08-26T20:20:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128909 Benjamin Pollack 2008-08-26T02:29:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128907 Hi, I'm using SandstoneDb for a project... and I have this (one-to-many) scenario: a) Product as Parts b) a Part can be owner by a Product, or can be orphan so, I have two roots: Product and Part well, by design, Sandstone does not allow me to make a recursive commit, and I have to make that commit by hand, something like this: self product partsDo: [ :each | each isNew ifTrue: [ each commit ]. self product commit. but... I need this behaivor in many parts of my environment, so I rewrited #commit, this way: Product>>commit self partsDo: [ :each | each isNew ifTrue: [ each commit ]. super commit. My question is: is this design right? Is there another -cleaner- way to do this? Thanks in advance, Esteban pd: maybe #commitWithRelations is better than overwrite commit? Esteban Lorenzano 2008-08-25T20:21:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128904 Dear Smalltalkers, The ESUG conference at Amsterdam (The Netherlands) is started. We have 171 registered people. This our new record, the previous one was in 2004 with 114 people (so +57 !). So, this is cool to have so many smalltalkers. This is a great opportunity to meet other Smalltalkers, attend high quality talks and demos. You'll find out more about what happening here at Amsterdam, talks slideshows, and other media related to the conference on the site below. You already have PDF files of the 20 submissions to the ESUG Technology Innovation Awards. BTW 20 submissions to the ESUG Awards is also a new record. http://vst.ensm-douai.fr/Esug2008Media Cheers, Noury ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Noury Bouraqadi - Enseignant/Chercheur Responsable de l'enseignement de l'informatique ARMINES - Ecole des Mines de Douai - Dept.

Thanks stephane ducasse 2008-08-22T18:15:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/128867 I just stumbled over a trap with MillisecondClockMask value which is 16r1FFFFFFF while in Hydra code i using another mask - 16r3FFFFFFF Can anyone tell, why mask is 1 bit shorter than maximum safe value? 16r3FFFFFFF << 1 + 1 ---> 16r7FFFFFFF - fits in positive smallint What you think, what mask is better to keep? I don't think that changing a mask will make any difference to language side. Because this mask used only together with millisecond clock values , which in C is 32 bit wrappable counter. Losing some high bits don't makes much difference , but i think using 16r3FFFFFFF would be better, or if not, please, tell me why.
