Problems with using Squeak 3.8

Hello,

I have some problems with the squeak version that I just started to
evaluate.

When I try to update to the latest version, as squeak offers me when i start
it up, "all code update servers seem to be unavailable".

Loading something from the package loader (fe Games) produces an error
(=can't find EOCD position)

Im running squeak 3.8-6665full image on a windows XP machine portable.

I was also wondering if the squeak version is still evolving ? Can I expect
a new version soon?

Finally, I would like to find directions on how to build a GUI with the
tool, since I think it is not well documented, or did I miss something?

Regards,
David

Are you behind a firewall and need to set a proxy to connect to the web?

Squeak is evolving: There will be soon a bug-fix-only stable release
3.8.1 and there is 3.9alpha, which is in heavy
development right now.

No, you didn't miss anything: It's not really documented...

Hi Marcus,
Indeed, I'm behind a firewall, what can I do?

in 3.8, there is a small application called "http proxy editor"
(world menu --> open --> http proxy editor).

Just add the setting, and then save the image.
