Hi Pharaoers. I am pleased to announce the first Pharo 1.1 beta based on
PharoCore-1.1-11367-Beta. It is the first time we build a Pharo 1.1 dev
image with PharoCore 1.1 so the image may be not 100% stable. However, we
think it is good to release it so that people can start to test it, load
their own packages, adapt them, etc. We would like to receive feedback about
it. It (yet) has failing and error tests.

The main changes with Pharo 1.0 is that of course, it is based on a
PharoCore 1.1 with all that it means. We started to write down some of the
actions done in PharoCore 1.1. The list so far can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/ActionsInPharoOneDotOne
Of course, for the stable releae of Pharo 1.1 we will do a clear list in the
website as we did for 1.0.

Regarding the included packages in 1.1 we added ScriptManager (a tool to
manage and persist workspaces), ProfStefBrowser, ArchiveViewer,
MethodWrappers and ObjectMetaTools (which includes things like
ProtocolCatcher, ObjectTracer, ObjectViewer, etc).

Another difference is the font. In Pharo 1.0 we used TrueType fonts by
default. In Pharo 1.1 we use StrikeFonts (no need of TrueType plugin,
netiher to have the fonts). However, of course, you can disable StrikeFonts
and put TrueType like in 1.0.

That's all. We would really appreciate you use it, test it, report issues,
provide fixes, etc. It is important also that you start to use your own
packages/applications. There have been several changes in 1.1 that may
require change in your code.

Ahh if you want to create the image yourself, check as usually the
installScript.st file to see how to do it. Actually, you can just take a
PharoCore-1.1-11367-Beta image and evaluate (the same procedure as 1.0):

Gofer new
    squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
    package: 'ConfigurationOfPharo';
    load.

((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPharo) project version: '1.1-beta1.10517')
load.

Here is the link to the image:

Cheers
