[Squeak 4.0] The Eagle Has Landed: Squeak 4.0 is Released

People of Squeak,

Please find Squeak 4.0 at:



I want to thank all of the wonderful people in the community who
banded together to help me get Squeak 4.0 released; it would have
taken me a lot longer without your help.

And the brain genius clicks send instead of save. D'oh! Haha, and
guess what? I don't have permissions to create the 4.0 directory,
either.

Eagle, this is Houston, how do you copy? Over.

Eagle, this is Houston, comcheck. Over.

Eagle, we are not receiving you. Over.

Boys, if you hear us, flash your headlights. Over.

Ehm, Houston, this is control center Stockholm, we are taking the night
shift here... do you guys need assistance in getting Eagle to land on a
certain runway or something? We have full access to the control tower so
just holler if you need us.

regards, Göran

How many of Squeakers see the real landing ? Some seems too young...

Hey, "some"?! Most I guess. I was *born* 1969.

We have any not basic for 4.0?
Clarify, please.

False.
If we go to simple changesets , I would not have had to pull my hair for 18
months

Could use simple changesets for 4.1 ?
At less until the Closures enter to the system , then take the current trunk
policy until.... .
When 4.1 ends ?


O maybe I should wait until people speak with his vote ?

Stockholm, this is a Kiev. We're tracking a trajectory and
meteorological conditions.
All clear, proceed with landing.

Why do you think changesets are better than monticello packages + configurations?

Good question.

No.
Now I think Monticello is better.
But the point is out of CoreDevelopers exist many fine Squeakers having a
hard time with Monticello.

If they put his .cs in Mantis, could be harvested and integrate.
And exist the subject 3.10 and 4.0 do not have the trunk process.
It's why again I raise the subject of the version boundary.
Closures have the collateral effect of many incompatibilities between 3.10
or 4.0 and 4.1.

Here I attach the updates coming from trunk I send many time ago , updated.

Put in the same folder as 4.0 , unzip
>From inside 4.0 do Utilities applyUpdatesFromDisk.

See the process brokes with 7218Compiler-ar.68.cs ?
So maybe this is the boundary.

Here we could add the logic for trunk we use today, no the logic we use
several months ago.
Now we know more as some months ago, so why wait and have inferior code ?

Over and out.

/Stockholm control center

Congrats guys!

This is an event that warrants a proper press release, isn't it?

I was born in 1963 and I recall perfectly the day....on an old B&W TV......

I remember that was very impressive to me on these times, being a child.

My hands raised too...

July 1969. Real nice day off school. B&W Admiral TV (valved). No
computers or even calculators around (only transistor thing close was a
Philips Transglobe radio)... In Brazil military government ruled and in
August would issue the infamous AI-5. My home was still surrounded by
green areas (fortunately much of those areas are still preserved today).
No drug dealers around.

Now, back to smalltalk.

It would really be excellent if most of them were too young.

Hey, he said 'some' and meant it! :)
I was travelling in Europe for the summer at the time and caught the landing from our hotel lobby in London.
