[ANN] PharoLauncher v1.1 released!

Hi all,

I just released PharoLauncher 1.1. There are now 64-bits versions for Mac and Linux. Jenkins build is now managed through a Jenkins file.

Here is the changelog (details on https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues):

New features:

#66 new command: import an image into the launcher default image folder 

#65 new command: remove a template from "Downloaded templates"

#64 new command: create a local template from an image and remove the image

#57 new option: run an image from a login shell to inherit from shell startup scripts to set up environment variables.

#54 It is now possible to run an image anywhere on your file system if you click "launch" and no image is selected

#23 Pharo Launcher now has an "about" box giving its description, version and a link to the bug tracker.

Improvements:

#62 Pharo Launcher should not load default Pharo settings 

#51 Pharo Launcher now sets the current directory to the directory containing the image (was the VM directory). Avoid confusions in Pharo 7 images.

Bux fixes:

#60 hardReset option causes troubles to PharoLauncher 

#56 #, was sent to nil

#55 Display name of Pharo 7 images unusable 

#52 Cannot open a Pharo 2 image

#47 Cannot run pharo 50 pre-Spur images

You can get platform bundles from files.pharo.org: http://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/1.1/

Regards,

Christophe.

Thank you a lot Christophe! 

I really enjoy using PharoLauncher.
