We will mostly just post new packages from now on. But if needed, we still have the update stream. To get an Etoys image for development, either follow the procedure I outlined above (takes about 10 minutes here), or download an all-in-one zip (based on Etoys-To-Go) from here: http://etoys.squeak.org/download/ It's easier if you do not use save-as in this setup, only regular image save. The image name is mentioned explicitly in the VM settings. New versions can be submitted to the "Etoys Inbox" by *anyone*, no registration required: http://source.squeak.org/etoysinbox.html Of course, Etoys developers can commit to the main repository directly. If you want to have access, register on that server, and ping me so I add you to the right group. We'll look at all contributions, though we need to be somewhat conservative. Remember this is used by kids worldwide, it's deployed on about a million machines, and more are to come [1]. Features are cool, but don't make the kids cry, mkay? ;) Btw, if someone feels more comfortable using changesets, don't worry, you can still attach them to a ticket on our tracker at http://tracker.squeakland.org/ Some other developer will then build Monticello packages and commit them. So, the gates are open, let the contributions flow :) - Bert - [1] http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/one-laptop-per-child-and,1271519.shtml |

I have downloaded the image. I like the many example projects which
come with it. To be sure: this now means that Etoys is no longer a "fork" of Squeak anymore but an "application" running on top of 4.1? --Hannes On 4/30/10, karl ramberg <[hidden email]> wrote: > On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 11:05 PM, Bert Freudenberg > <[hidden email]>wrote: > >> On 26.04.2010, at 04:56, Bert Freudenberg wrote: >> > >> > On 19.04.2010, at 13:52, Bert Freudenberg wrote: >> >> >> >> Hi folks, >> >> >> >> as we discussed lately we want to enable easier contributions, >> >> following >> a model similar to Squeak's "trunk".

To see that, from the world menu, choose "new morph...", "make link to project...", "Home". This creates a button that takes you to the home screen (I forgot to put one into the dev image, sorry). Of course, if you download the non-developer version from http://squeakland.org/download/ it will start with the right screen. > To be sure: this now means that Etoys is no longer a "fork" of Squeak > anymore but an "application" running on top of 4.1? Not yet. It's a first step towards that, enabling the same tools to be used. This is pretty much equivalent to the 2009 Etoys 4.0 release (the release number similarity to Squeak is coincidental). It is still closer to Squeak 3.8 (when we last cross-merged) than Squeak 4.1. If you compare the packages to e.g. trunk, you will see huge differences. "Etoys 4.1" is the tentative label for the Etoys Summer 2010 release, we have not yet decided what to actually call it. - Bert - > --Hannes > > On 4/30/10, karl ramberg <[hidden email]> wrote: >> On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 11:05 PM, Bert Freudenberg >> <[hidden email]>wrote: >> >>> On 26.04.2010, at 04:56, Bert Freudenberg wrote: >>>> >>>> On 19.04.2010, at 13:52, Bert Freudenberg wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Hi folks, >>>>> >>>>> as we discussed lately we want to enable easier contributions, >>>>> following >>> a model similar to Squeak's "trunk".

Sweet! 'Till All Are One!
I'm installing Etoys 4 on my itsy-bitsy laptop. In spite of the fact that I think Etoys is really a great thing, I've not acquainted myself with it, as I was already splitting my time between Squeak and Pharo (I've hardly had a spare moment to look at VW!)
Now that there's an easy way to see the diffs, I'm kind of interested to see what the delta is.

To see that, from the world menu, choose "new morph...", "make link to project...", "Home". This creates a button that takes you to the home screen (I forgot to put one into the dev image, sorry). Btw, there is now an updated etoys-dev version at http://etoys.squeak.org/download/ Besides having updates loaded, this now includes a thumbnail to jump to the home project, so it's closer to the "real" Etoys experience. The dual changeset update stream / Monticello repository updates seem to work quite well. E.g., the 2373fixHome-bf.cs changeset relies on the updated Player compile methods, and 2374discardTranslations-bf.cs on a method for discarding the translations. So I posted the update-bf.2.mcm configuration to the update stream as 2372repo1080-bf.cs. This ensures that certain package versions are loaded. I hope that's a good way to split the responsibilities - put code changes into Monticello, and do-its into the update stream ... best of both worlds :) The "repository version" refers to the sum of package version in the loaded configuration. Etoys' SystemVersion now reports both, the highest update number and the repo version + date: etoys4.1 of 29 April 2010 update 2374 (repo v1082 of 4 May 2010) Here is a page to easily see the update stream: http://squeakland.org/updates/ - Bert - |
