AIDA/Web 5.6 released

Dear Smalltalkers,

AIDA/Web 5.6 was just released, on Squeak and VisualWorks. This version
is a base for forthcoming Aida/Scribo, which will be a CMS (Content
Management System), with a core and some plugins: wiki, website, forum,
blog.

More about Aida is on http://www.aidaweb.si and you can download it
here: http://www.aidaweb.si/download.html.

What's new in 5.6?

   - class SwazooAida for easier start: just doit SwazooAida demoStart
   - run on all interfaces, any host: SwazooAida startOn: somePort,
     useful for running behind load balancers
   - enhanced reliability and performance serving directly to
     the Internet
   - multilingual support for serving domain objects in many languages
   - Party/Role framework for modeling complex relationships among
     different parties (persons, companies). Useful among other for more
     complex security scenarios
   - upgrade to Prototye 1.6.0, Scriptaculous 1.8.0
   - more understandable reorganization of packages

I hope that this release will be another step towards making a Smalltalk
the best platform for most demanding web applications.

Best regards
Janko

But the Squeak version still have the same bugs as Aida 5.4
(String>>ContentsAsMethod, WebSecurityManagerApp>>actionAddUser, etc).

Eh, Didn't we solve that long ago? I somehow lost that patches... I need
to set-up my own Montichelo or something to track Squeak specific
changes.  But a goal is to have a dialect neutral code while dialect
specific one should be in Sport.

Some patches are dialect neutral too...

other users of both can help keep them in sync. This way, bug fixes and
feature enhancements can come from users of either dialect.

I also think it might be a good idea to have a page with coding
standards expected of code submitted for inclusion.

Just some thoughts.

It would be really the best to use your MC for now and use SqueakSorce
only for public betas and releases. MC don't have good enough
distinction between development and stable code and and having
development versions in SqueakSource will lead to a mess.

For VW it seems that Public Store would be good enough, even that all VW
users usually use its own Stores and replicate from time to time to
public one. I also have my own one. Problem is that I can't simply open
publicly my own Store because I have commercial code there too and
access rights are not simple to separate public from private Store
access. So, on VW I'll try to publish/replicate more often.

Store also have more or less good separation of stable/dev versions with
so called blessings. Forking and merging tools are also good, so that
developing in separate branches and then merging together is relatively
simple.

For Squeak Nicolas volunteered to open his Monticello repository at
http://mc.bioskop.fr. Thanks Nicolas for that! I don't grasp MC enough
to see how it can be used for group development as Store yet. But
because Gemstoners are using now MC too, I need to look at it again.

I propose to use his one for development versions while publish to
public SqueakSource only beta and released versions.

And another Smalltalk is joining Aida club: Gemstone:
http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss. More about their GLASS later.

Good idea indeed. I'll try to open those pages then others are welcome
to provide content too. Coding conventions, hmmm...

Best regards
