VA Smalltalk 9.1.1 Fixpack now available...

Greetings,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of VA Smalltalk 9.1.1 Fixpack.

Fixpacks contain fixes to smalltalk sources and/or external resources (i.e. virtual machine and supporting dlls) that have been discovered or reported since the release of 9.1.

If you have an active support license, you can get the 9.1.1 Fixpack from the VA Smalltalk downloads page under the "9.1 Fixpacks" section.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Joachim,

The fixpack is focused on updating a development installation, so it does not provide an automatic way of updating a runtime.  For now, you can download the fixpack and hand copy the updated files from the Files folder included in the fixpack.  You will want to look in the appropriate subfolder of Files (either Linux_x86 or Linux_x64), and then in the bin folder.  There you will find the updated binary files  associated with this fixpack.

Perhaps we should include an updated SRT with future fixpacks if there are changes that effect any of the SRT files.

Thanks,

Bob

I am surely late to the game, but looking into the install scripts for the fixpack I see that the fixpack installs a new esvm40 and abtprc91.so. I do have the abtprc91.so already because we found this bug together, but I wonder how to install the fixpack in a server runtime?

Thanks Bob,

A fixpack installer for the SRT would be good. OTOH, the SRT installation usually just consits of unpacking and moving the contents of the zip someplace. Maybe it is easier to just provide an updated SRT instead of a fixpack?

Hi Joachim,

Maybe it was not clear. He was proposing to do both. We would be updating a new version of server runtime into the website (say "9.1.1") but also providing that very same zip into the zip of fixpack. That way:

1) You don't have to go to the website, look for new SL, download it ,etc...you  have it right there in the fixpack zip

2) If it is there, it means that whatever changes for the fixpack required changes in the SL (note that this is quite unfrequent)

Does it make sense?

Best, 

 

Joachim
