Re: [ANN] Squeak 5.3 RC2

Hi Marcel,

looks great to me! :-) Here are some notes:

After playing around a few minutes with the fresh image, I got an error message in the Recent Changes.
All I did was 1) to evaluate some code and 2) to select the "startup" line:
I took a closer look at [Smalltalk allClasses gather: #classPool] and found the following possibly important entries:
- You might want to be even more aggressive when cleaning the Clipboard variables :)
- Interestingly, there are still some relicts of The Worlds of Squeak in our 5.3 release candidate:
  
  The latter is no problem at all, just an amazing fact I did not want to hide from you :D

And some questions:

Is it intended that the RC still has its update URL set to http://source.squeak.org/trunk and that it does not use HTTPS?
Do we need a nested folder in the ZIP file for Windows? IMHO this makes file paths unnecessarily long (91 characters ...).

Best,

Christoph

Re: [ANN] Squeak 5.3 RC2

And ... should we also cleanup EventStats in the HandMorph? Not really clean at the moment :-)

Nice job on the release notes too, I know that it takes a lot of time to do this well.

Thank you :-)

Yes, I just added that.

Yeah, those "----" entries are no #doIt and thus no code. In this case the Scanner invoked the SqNumberParser on 5.3rc2, which failed. I just fixed that by setting those "----" entries to #misc instead of #doIt.

Yes, I just did that.

I did just change the clean-up without touching the Etoys package. It's a smaller fix. :-)

Yes and yes.

Yes. Best practice is that "extract here" should not spoil the directory you are currently in.

Best,

Marcel

Re: [ANN] Squeak 5.3 RC2

Hi all! :-)

Big thanks to Fabio! He managed to update the signing procedure (or rather hassle) for all RC2 bundles so that they can open quite normally on macOS Catalina 10.15.3.

I am sure that other projects depending on the OpenSmalltalkVM and smalltalkCI infrastructure can learn from this update as well.

While this is only required for 64-bit, 32-bit got also fresh signatures as well:

http://files.squeak.org/5.3rc2/Squeak5.3rc2-19422-32bit/

Note that we had to change the program identifier as well, which can yield warnings in firewalls:

Also note that the fullscreen is still broken on macOS and will render the image unresponsive.

I will prepare RC3 today.
