Hi
I checked a bit
>> ------
>> Support for isolation layers has been retired.
I imagine that this is the stuff related to project having their own changeset.
This is something that we are slowly removing and should go away with Project
removal.
>> Collections
>> -----------
>> Several improvements have been added to Collections. Sets have become faster,
>> Arrays now print in brace form by default,
Now
{...@10 . Browser new} -> {...@10. aBrowser}
but this is nice not to have #(1 2)
but now I'm confused because after an update when I type #(1 2 3) I get #(1 2
3).
>> Dictionary>>keys return an array instead of a set.
Nicolas does this bring some speed up, lukas thought so.
>> Monticello
>> ----------
>> Various load-order issues have been fixed within Monticello, making loading
>> of packages more robust. Monticello and PackageInfo have been sped up in
>> several areas making browsing of large repositories significantly faster.
I think that we should have most of them. We should probably check.
>> Faster UTF-8 Conversions
>> ------------------------
>> Generalize trick from ByteString>>#squeakToUtf8 to every converter using
>> class instance variables. Dramatically improves performance of file
>> operations.
Nicolas is it related to your FasterLatin1Conversion?
>>
>>
>> Shout
>> -----
>> Shout (Syntax Hightlighting As You Type) has been added to this image. As
>> with all new additions, it can be easily unloaded for people wanting smaller
>> images.
Probably worth to look at that.
>> ToolBuilder conversion
>> ----------------------
>> All the tools have been given a make-over, removing pretty much all of the
>> interface construction code and replacing it by ToolBuilder specs. This
>> removes a huge amount of dependencies between the tools and particular UI
>> frameworks, and puts all the UIs on equal footing (there were several tools
>> that were either not all or only partially supported in MVC before).
Nice we should have a look at that.
>> New Text Editors
>> ----------------
>> A complete new set of text editors (Editor, TextEditor and SmalltalkEditor)
>> are available. They replace TextMorphEditor and break one of the last hard
>> links between Morphic and MVC. With the new editors it will finally become
>> possible to have Morphic be self-contained without the need to rely on
>> portions of MVC.
Juan told me that it will send us a package with the latest code integrated in
squeak.
>> Morphic Text Improvements
>> -------------------------
>> Morphic has now regular blinking insertion point cursors instead of the
>> (virtually invisible) static cursor previously.
We should have already this one
>> In addition, various problems with mixing fonts and the heights of text have
>> been fixed.
Would be nice if some font hackers would have a look
>> Beautiful, Anti-Aliased Fonts
>> -----------------------------
>> We have a new set of beautiful anti-aliased Deja Vu bitmap fonts in this
>> image. The default sizes include 7pt (for handheld devices), 9pt (generic
>> text, list and menu fonts) as well as 12pt (window and title fonts):
>> Deja Vu 7pt: Regular, Bold, Italics
>> Deja Vu 9pt: Regular, Bold, Italics
>> Deja Vu 12pt: Regular, Bold, Italics
We have them :)
Lukas will send a nice script.
>>
>> Russian Language Support
>> ------------------------
>> To input text in Russian language, install a font supporting the Cyrillic
>> alphabet, then switch the locale accordingly:
>>
>> TTFileDescription installFamilyNamed: 'Arial'.
>> Locale switchToID: (LocaleID isoLanguage: 'ru').
worth to have a look but a russian guy
>> This will enable Russian text input, display and processing.
>>
>> Improved Truetype Support
>> -------------------------
>> The new TTFileDescription works just like TTFontDescription but operates on
>> the files directly on disk. This helps greatly to support the m17n efforts
>> since we no longer load all the fonts into memory. To use the available
>> fonts on your platform, select some text, hit Cmd-k (Alt-k) and select "More
>> (non-portable) fonts".
Do not the status of this one.
