Hi all,
Today I noticed thath 4.2 is released, but, squeak.org links, points to 4.1. This can create confusion. Cheers. |

Hi guys,
There is now a link to All-in-One 4.2 distro only on http://www.squeak.org Download box. I propose that we stay with that link only instead of three, separate for Linux, Mac and Win as before. Can someone check if links on http://www.sqieak.org/Download are fresh too?

Ops, in subject it should be 4.2, not 4.3 of course :)

Maybe the icon should be the plain squeak icon and not the one with the debian swirl. And now the info you get if you click on "Need installation help?" doesn't fit to the all-in-one package.

I asked for updating that page several times after 4.1 was released. Notably http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-April/149064.html , but since then the VMs were updated. Since not all the VMs are ready for 4.2, I'd wait a bit more.

I think we should have two links: Windows - Mac - Linux (23M) Windows Only (10M) Ian Trudel put together a great installation executable for windows. It launches with a great-looking splash and is exactly what typical Windows users "expect" when installing Windows software. However, "advanced" users (like me) could still have the option of a single directory-of-files, which I prefer over the install-programs and registry entries. So I think its worth having these two. Just MHO. - Chris > > Can someone check if links on http://www.sqieak.org/Download are fresh too? > > Best regards > Janko > > > On 09. 02. 2011 23:34, Giuseppe Luigi Punzi wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> Today I noticed thath 4.2 is released, but, squeak.org links, points to >> 4.1. >> >> This can create confusion. >> >> Cheers. > > > |

The platform-specific code is quite small compared to the shared code and the proportion is decreasing over time. Having it all in one directory makes it easy to carry Squeak on a USB stick and use it on any available machine regardless of the OS. On Windows, the risks of malware attacks are high so I create a MD5 checksum of critical files for detecting modifications. It would be useful if such a file is included in the download itself. I don't use Windows much but I found making Squeak a Portable App instead of installing it to be useful: http://lists.squeakland.org/pipermail/etoys-dev/2010-September/005650.html Subbu |
