New VM promoted to Stable for Pharo 8

Hi,
a new VM has been promoted for Pharo 8. This VM has been used in Pharo 9 during the last 4 weeks without incidents and as the latest one for Pharo 8 during the same period of time.

Basically this VM solves the following main issues:

- GC memory corruption during saving the image
- LibSSH error in Windows.

And a couple of small issues.

The VM is downloaded directly when using zero conf (http://get.pharo.org).
And in new installations of the Pharo Launcher.
To update it in older installations you should open the VM manager:

And then using the update button:

The new VM should be from 2020-02-20.

Depending of the Pharo Launcher version, maybe the table is not auto-updated :P

To check the correct version, close the VM manager window and open it again.

Cheers,

Pablo

Re: New VM promoted to Stable for Pharo 8

Pablo, does this only affect Macs? I just tried this on a Linux machine,
updating/launching a Pharo 8 64-bit image.

It still showed the older VM. I tried restarting the VM Manager, restarting
Pharo Launcher (1.9.2), and then re-installing Pharo Launcher, then creating
a new image, each time trying everything again.

But the version of the VM only ever says "2020-02-12", not "2020-02-20".
When I tried the same thing for a 32-bit Pharo 8 image, it uses a VM dated
"2020-02-06".

What am I doing wrong?

A side note, VM version strings are an absolute disaster for end users, it is simply impossible to talk about a specific version.

Okay, in that case, it did everything it was supposed to, automatically!
