Re: [ANN] Squeak 5.1 Code Freeze -- Trunk still closed; first release candidate(s) available

Hi,

Thanks for all the work on this. Sadly neither the 32bit or 64bit ones open on MacOS Sierra betas. They start but no Mac windows are displayed.

cheers

Hi, there.

It's time for another "code freeze". :-) Let's hope that all serious bugs got fixed by now and that we have a usable Squeak 5.1 environment to get creative with. ;-)

Find the first release candidate here:
http://files.squeak.org/5.1rc1/Squeak5.1rc1-16520-32bit/
http://files.squeak.org/5.1rc1/Squeak5.1rc1-16520-64bit/ (regarded as "experimental")

You can still tell us about every little "buglette" you can find. We will, however, address only "show stoppers" in this phase. Other things will be scribbled down in the release notes under "Known Issues" and (maybe) fixed after the release:
https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-app/tree/master/release-notes

Please stress-test this RC1 until August 21, 23:59 AOE. Plus/minus a several hours as usual. :-D

Best,
Marcel

Thanks for the info. We don't have macOS Sierra running anywhere at the moment and I'm afraid there might not be enough time to look into this problem before the release. But we should certainly add support for Sierra as soon as possible. I have opened [1], so we don't forget about this.

Best,

Fabio

Sounds like we should really work on fixing the recently changed graphics/event backend in the macOS VM. :) It was changed from Carbon to Cocoa a few months ago.. It added flashing effects when switching to/from full-screen, forced activation of any dedicated graphics chip (which got fixed by now), and broke user input event processing in terms of key presses (not key strokes, they work fine).

However, we can easily update the bundles with improved VMs anytime. :)

Best,
Marcel
