Hi all.Gary and I decided we ought to give out an MCZ of our fixes that we've put together over the last two years.
Obviously some of those we found have been pulled into Pharo already, but the attached MCZ represents those that we think are still relevant :)
This is a rough list of the fixes: 1. Fixed flaky borwser comment text area sometime not showing. 2. Added getArgumentPermutation to support RefactoringEngine.3. Fixes to CanvasCharacterScanner and MultiCanvasCharacterScanner to correctly align the first line of text when centered/justifed etc.
4. Added more constant names to Character class.5. Modified ConnectionQueue to not accept connections when queue is full.
6. Changed GrafPort to answer a MultiDisplayScanner when appropriate (allows subclasses of MultiNewParagraph).
7. NaturalLanguageTranslator startup postion move to after PasteUpMorph since it will show a progress bar.
8. Fix to Random>>nextInt: to allow large numbers which would be out of range if using Floats (as mentioned recently on dev, use of Floats is dodgy anyway...)
9. Changed TranscriptStream>>clear to use a new buffer (was just reset which could leave a massive collection).
10. Changed RemoteString to handle concurrent processes safely. This one's particularly interesting: we were load-testing our Seaside app here and getting lots of syntax errors when hitting the image with around the 20 concurrent processes due to source file access. After this change we were hitting it with approximately 500 concurrent processes, and the failure was in the Java load tester (it timed out).
Hope just submitting a .mcz is OK! :) Cheers, Simon and Gary ****************************************************************************************************************************************** This email is from Pinesoft Limited.
