- Welcome to Squeak - a free, open Smalltalk system.
-
- Squeak 4.1 combines the license change occuring in the 4.0 release with the development work that has been going on while the relicensing process took place. Here are the highlights of the changes that resulted in Squeak 4.1:
-
- User Interface
- We have adapted the ''face lift'' look originally developed for Newspeak. For those of us who like colored windows (quite a few as it turns out) you can switch between uniform and colored windows in the ''Extras'' menu under ''Window Colors''.
-
- The new menu bar makes Squeak much easier to discover than before. The process of transitioning from the world menu is not complete yet, there are still items that can only be accessed from the world menu (i.e., by clicking on the desktop).
-
- The search field integrated in the menu bar allows for direct navigation to classes and methods - simply type in a partial class or method name and see what happens.
-
- A new set of inexpensive sub-pixel antialiased fonts derived from the DejaVu fonts (''Bitmap DejaVu'' in the font chooser) has been added. True type font support has been upgraded to operate directly on files on disk without the need to load the entire file into memory.
-
- A new set of text editors has been added, which allowed us to decouple the Morphic and MVC implementations for improved modularity. Morphic now has regular blinking insertion point cursors instead of the (virtually invisible) static cursor previously.
-
- Compiler
- Squeak 4.1 includes the closure implementation from Cog as a prerequisite for full Cog adoption later. With this implementation Squeak finally has ''full'' closures, allowing classic recursive examples like the following to work:
-
- fac := [:n| n > 1 ifTrue:[n * (fac value: n-1)] ifFalse:[1]].
- fac value: 5.
-
- Support for literal ByteArray syntax has been added. Byte arrays can now be written as #[1 2 3] instead of #(1 2 3) asByteArray  avoiding the need for conversion.
-
- Selectors including minus are now parsed correctly, for example 3 <- 4 is now parsed as (3) <- (4) instead of (3) < (-4). White space is no longer allowed after an unary minus to denote a negative number literal.
-
- Development
- Syntax highlighting, based on Shout, is now included in all Squeak tools by default. For workspaces, it can be explicitly disabled in the window menu (press the blue button; entry ''syntax highlighting'').
-
- Sources and changes files are no longer limited to 32MB max size. ExpandedSourceFileArray provides an implementation for source files of arbitrary length, based on the CompiledMethodTrailer changes.
-
- MessageTrace has been added, allowing senders and implementors to be viewed without opening new windows all the time.  It utilizes a new AlternatePluggableListMorphOfMany, which allows quick and easy customization of the list. A quick adoption of DependencyBrowser has been added allowing to browse dependencies between packages.
-
- Core Libraries
- Sets can now store nil just as any other collection. The collection hierachy has been refactored to have both Set and Dictionary a subclass of HashedCollection instead of having Dictionary a subclass of Set. Squeak now uses a better distributed scaledIdentityHash for identity sets and dictionaries.
-
- StandardFilestream now performs read-buffering, dramatically speading up some operations like "Object compileAll" (2x improvement) as well as various other operations (scanning change lists etc).
-
- A new traits implementation has been added. The implementation is significantly smaller and simpler than the old version and can be unloaded and reloaded without loss of information (i.e., traits flattened during unload are restored during traits reloading).
-
- A new extensible number parser hierharchy has been introduced NumberParser and its subclasses provide support for parsing and building numbers from strings and streams.
-
- A new general cleanup protocol has been added. The cleanUp protocol takes an optional argument to indicate whether we''re doing an aggressive cleanup (which involves deleting projects, change sets, and possibly other destructive actions) or a more gentle cleanup that''s only supposed to clean out transient caches.
-
- SystemDictionary and SmalltalkImage have been refactored. Smalltalk is now an instance of SmalltalkImage, representing a facade for system-wide queries and actions. SmalltalkImage contains a global environment, an instance of SystemDictionary, which the environment used by classes. Thus, SmalltalkImage current == Smalltalk, Object environment == Smalltalk globals.
-
- Modularity
- The following packages have been made reloadable: ReleaseBuilder, ScriptLoader, 311Deprecated, 39Deprecated, Universes, SMLoader, SMBase, Installer-Core, VersionNumberTests, VersionNumber, Services-Base, PreferenceBrowser, Nebraska, CollectionsTests, GraphicsTests, KernelTests, MorphicTests, MultilingualTests, NetworkTests, ToolsTests, TraitsTests, XML-Parser, Traits, SystemChangeNotification-Tests, FlexibleVocabularies, EToys, Protocols, Tests, SUnitGUI.
