[squeak-dev] Mac carbon VM goes to 4.2.2Beta1U

I've updated the Macintosh Carbon VM to include the latest changes for  
serial port logic which was driven by changes in the Unix serial port  
plugin.
Plus Bert identified that horizontal wheel scrolling didn't work  
correctly, oddly it's never worked since I think 2002.  People must  
not use those
funky dual touch/action track pads on the macintosh I'd guess.

I've added these changes to the SVN tree on squeakvm.org

I've also uploaded the new VM as Squeak 4.2.2beta1U.app.zip
found via
http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

If someone other than Bert confirm the horizontal scrolling works,  
plus I couldn't test the altered serial port logic since I don't have  
a serial like device
around that my mac would talk to. Promptly report any issues...

Hint, don't forget to purchase your copy of ST80Docs or SqueakDocs on  
the iPhone to help defer the costs of my yearly Apple development  
license
as you click thru to download the VM.


4.2.2b1 We update system to 10.6.1 and newest xCode
                        Build powerpc VM with gcc 4.0
                        Run Static Analyser
                        FilePlugin.c
                        SetVMPathFromApplicationDirectory
                        memory leak from vmPathString

                        NSCursorWrappers.m
                        fix memory leak, bitmap, image

                        sqMacMain.c
                        fixupNonAbsolutePath
                        memory leak from resourcePathString

                        sqMacNSPluginUILogic2.c
                        handle_CMD_SHARED_MEMORY
                        memory leak from colorspace

                        sqmacUIEventsUniversal.c
                        Bert reported scroll wheel movement was wrong.
                        We did not get kEventParamMouseWheelAxis correctly
                        This problem oddly has existed for years.

                        SerialPort, use unix serial port logic that now supports named  
ports, instead of older carbon solutions.

It isn't visible yet. There is a link to 4.2.1beta1

BTW, John, why all your VMs are always qualified beta?
 From the outside, it looks strange :-)
I suggest to remove the tag.

That is a historical feature.

However given the maturity of the macintosh carbon VM code base,
I'll remove the tag on the next iteration!

Is it intentional there is no "Squeak VM Opt.sig" anymore?

oops

Let me fix that

For the curious that is a PGP signature file for the binary.

Curious indeed - what uses that?

Ok, I've altered the master Squeak 4.2.2beta1U.app.zip and added the  
signature file. Also I've attached it.
People who have made copies (like for the pharo site) might want to re-
download it to ensure you've the correct zip file.

Hi John,

One very small thing I noticed: I maximize the Squeak window, save the  
image and open it again. Then the window is moved some pixels to the  
right so that it extends under the dock. Maximizing again with the  
green window button fixes it, so it is very minor.

Thanks for your effort building the VMs!

Cheers,
Bernhard

That behavior is not new. I cannot remember when it started but it is  
there for some time now.

Ah, yes well the VM has never had a concept of storing the top/left  
position of the window. It does store the width/height.
At the start of time the squeak window was set to
        Rect windowBounds = { 44, 8, 408, 648 };  /* default window bounds */
        //Dec 17th, 1996 9:21 AM


Currently it's
        window = SetUpWindow(44, 8, 44+height,  
8+width,gSqueakWindowType,gSqueakWindowAttributes);

So as you see it's not been an issue for any of the developers to re-
think.
I did make a mantis report http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7400

To fix we would have to store the top/left somewhere in the image,  
then consider issues about platform dependencies and
when you move between machines that have multiple screens, or single  
screens of different sizes.

Yes, you a right. I forgot to mention it. Thanks for the comment.

Cheers,
Bernhard

I just had an idea. Even if we do not store top/left, it might be an  
improvement to use x/0 as top/left, where x would be the menubar height.

What do others think?

Cheers,
Bernhard
