Hi, I am sorry you feel frustrated but this is an important change that is going on and we need to tackle it, not revert it. Yes, probably last two weeks there has not been much movement, but reason is we are working on make PharoDays possible.
Now, as Stef said… Pharo 8 is alpha. I will add VERY alpha. Each release has some moments where there is something severely broken. From my part I’m happy that this happens now and now (as usual) in august when we are preparing for release :) Please, do a step back and and rephrase your mail. You are the advocate of non-violent communication. I’m afraid do tell you that the tone of the mail was very violent. In the positive lecture of things: yes, we are having problems with rubric. But once we fix it, you will be happier with it, I’m sure :) Esteban > On 26 Mar 2019, at 18:39, Stephan Eggermont <[email protected]> wrote: > > ducasse <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi stephan >> >>> Unless someone is working on fixing it today, I want this PR reverted. >>> Issues 2865, 2963, 2964, 2980, 3013 >>> >>> Stephan >> >> Nobody is working on Pharo this is well known. > > I am feeling angry and ignored.
