Draft Pharo 1.2.1 Release Announcement

I have a draft for a release announcement for Pharo 1.2.1

http://homepage.mac.com/svc/Pharo/pharo-1.2.1-release.html

[ THIS IS A DRAFT !! - DO NOT YET RELEASE ]

Please check this for errors and omissions, I will try to integrate the remarks tomorrow. Please check the links as well.

I tried to stick with the basics, as one could write about so much (introducing Pharo Smalltalk and its features could be useful, but is quite challenging; everything loaded into dev could be described, and so on). I am sure I am not doing justice to all efforts by everybody, please give feedback.

To give it a little twist, I started with a little 'story' called 'Update #12345', maybe it is to geeky, but it felt like a good angle to cover the basics about the process and the time spent.

The most useful raw material was this http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/ActionsInPharoOneDotTwo

It feels as if more could be said about Dev.

I also tried to stick with just a simple screenshot, I could come up with more complicated ones, but we cannot put everything on one screenshot.

Great Sven, maybe you could put this information on the wiki so the
people could modify it more easily.

Stéphane already suggest to look at all the issues solved during 1.2:

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=1&q=milestone=1.2
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=1&q=Milestone%3D1.2-DevImage

The related issues could be added before the description of the changes:
#2943, #3036 SUnit 4 integration

For future releases, i guess a semi-automatic changelog could be done
with the list of issues.

This is quite difficult now to know exactly from the list of issues
which one have been integrated effectively in 1.2 or not.
Some issues are closed, some other are their fix/enhancements
integrated in the image.
Maybe for future releases, when a fix/enhancements is accepted, the
issue could be tagged with a label like : in1.3
The idea is to be able to extract the list of updates directly from issues.

What do you think about that ?

Yeah, it would be cool to add some statistics, like N fixes or commits, R issues solved, reduced the core complexity from X classes and Y methods to X' classes and Y' methods, but I cannot easily get to that.

Is it not so that 1.2 started with #12000 and that we are now on #12345, so that makes 345 version tags, but of course not all of them are of equal size/importance.

If we can't get this half right, we probably better drop it, no ?

The bug tracker can be queried for issues of a certain tag:

57 for Full:

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=1&q=milestone%3D1.2-DevImage

and 693 for Core:

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=1&q=milestone%3D1.2

For all versions, we had 3960 issue tracker submissions, out of which 473 are open.

Just a little note. #12345 is not the number of issues, but for updates. If we take that every update has an average o 3 integrated issues, then the amount of issues should be something like 1000 :) (345 * 3)

I added these numbers as well as links to these issue tracker queries.

I also added a link to your email announcing #12345 so that people can see we are not just making this up.

I would remove the SimpleMorphic mention, or at least add a disclaimer to it that it's more like a preview of what direction Morphic will be heading in, rather than something people should use, and can expect to work and/or stay in the base image.

I'll phrase it as 'Included SimpleMorphic preview' then.

Better support for the introduction of SmalltalkImage and SystemDictionary separation.
