Hi pablo
I always considered Magma as a good idea/system. Now Chris always
thought that
Pharo was not good for him because we were supported by Gemstone. I
never really understood.
So a port could be good but if Chris is not interested it may be
difficult. Now may be you should
contact him and see. We will pay attention and we can offer CI support
and other.
I should say that I do not understand why people do not understand that
we are not doing Pharo for the
fame, for us, (I would be much much smarter to work in Javascript) but
to support that they can do business
and be successful. Especially since Pharo is open and that we pay
attention to other code and point of view.
I was and I'm still puzzled but I stopped to think about it and I'm just
continuing to push the idea to build
an eco system where you guys can make a living out of this great system.
(I created a company and I would love
to create a couple of others so Pharo as a platform is key for me and
I'm also concerned with that.

Asunto: Fwd: [ANN] Magma 1.5
I am pleased to announce version 1.5 of Magma for Squeak 5, now
available on SqueakMap. Magma allows multiple Squeak images to
collaborate on a single, large object model, with the robustness and
control expected from a database. It offers the most transparent db
access possible for Smalltalk, affording the user the ability to
develop complex, performant designs, iteratively, on-the-fly.
It has been designed for "continuous flow" development, the way
Smalltalkers like and expect to work. For example, I could have
connections open to 3 separate databases, open transactions in any of
them, and having restructured a class hierarchy in the model, and
stepping through the debugger when that "final boarding call" for my
flight is announced.
Thanks to the image, this scenario has never been a problem for
Smalltalkers and Magma is deliberate to ensure this flow is
maintained. Once at 10K feet, I can resume stepping through that same
debugger within 5 seconds of restarting the image, DB connections
intact, commit my transactions when I'm ready, done. Magma handles
every aspect of that use-case correctly even in multi-user
environments, and has so many safety and integrity features, it is the
safest way to develop and keep a model in Squeak.
This release coincides with the release of Squeak 5, and has many
improvements and fixes over Magma 1.4. Detailed notes about these
improvements are available at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6209.
