I've posted a macintosh carbon VM 4.2.1Beta1U to the usual places
found via
http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.htmlIf there are no immediate problems then people should consider using
this VM for their one-click offerings and
ensuring this is the current default macintosh VM on Squeak.org.
Early adopters should email the list right away in
case of problems.
As a reminder the 4.x series of macintosh VM have clean 32bit address
space support, IPV6, full UTF-8 for file names
and clipboard, Closure support when activated by the image, and BitBlt
fixes to enable beautiful fonts via Squeak on the macintosh,
plus the VM plugins folder has all the latest plugins.
If you *must* run a 3.8.x flavor of VM (why?) then you should use the
latest fixed version which is 3.8.21b1
3.8.20 & 3.8.19 both have flaws causing image save failures, and
3.8.17 or earlier are not 32bit clean hence more probable to crash
on you.
A warning about BitBltPlugin.bundle distributed as
"BitBltPlugin.v1.0.0b1.FreeTypePlus.bundle.zip"
This was an override to provide some better font behaviour rendering
that was done in early 2007.
If you have this on your computer in a Plugins folder or think you
need it, beware it will override the NEW fixed bitblt and
you wonder why your fonts don't render correctly in the last font
efforts for Squeak. Therefore you should delete all/any
copies of BitBltPlugin.bundle
Changes:
There are some fixes to enable this VM to run a 64bit based Image,
this is still a 32bit VM btw, and now
the VM comes with a macintosh QuickLook plugin that renders the
thumbnail out of newer eToys projects.
Plus it has the Aug fixes for rendering antialiased StrikeFonts.
Other fixes detailed below:
4.2.1b1 We update our VM to VMMaker-dtl.135
