[ANN] OSUnix and OSLinuxUbuntu on new UFFI

These two projects (who were based on NativeBoost in Pharo 4) are now updated
to new UFFI in Pharo 5 which means they are loadable in recent Pharo 5 image and
all tests pass.

So if you are working on Linux/Unix you might wan to check them out in latest
Pharo 5 by loading them from Catalog browser.

A BIG THANKS to Esteban for helping me in the conversion and updating
the new Unified FFI (UFFI) according to the issues that were found during
the conversion.

More is in the pipe ... step by step it goes!

Bye

Hi,

I don't want to spoil the great news, but actually the most recent
changes break Pharo 5.0 with SpurVM on Windows 8.

UFFI must have brought something in there that makes Pharo crash.

Windows 8 users should be adviced to keep their current working images.
I am lost since a few days since I can't built a new image that would
actually work.
I tried several older snapshots of the VM and the Pharo images listed in
the PharoLauncher but none work.

nope, this one is a VM stuff… people is too fast to blame the wrong responsible... :)
I’m checking that now :S
