Removing of the Watery theme is an enhancement in sense of "cleanup". The code was not maintained and partly broken. To have this theme in the image was a problem for management of the two default Pharo themes because the Watery theme was superclass of them and added a significant level of

I'm looking into calling PDFium from Pharo via FFI. Currently I'm stalled a bit since it doesn't have a shared-library target. If you consider access to such a library would be useful to the community, please take a few moments to star this issue...

I waded through the list of 'enhancements', and was astonished to find this. Is there to be an alternative way of producing the same appearance as the 'Watery' theme? If not, how can the removal of a facility be called an 'enhancement'? I always switch to this theme when I load a new image,

Hello Ben, UFFI does not allow you to call static libraries. Static libraries are not executable per se, they need to be linked in another program. As I know, the only way of using an static library from Pharo is to: - Build a plugin that wraps it. - Build a DLL exposing all the functions

I’ve used PDFMiner and pypdf2xml previously and both are easier to use now that Atlas is available. Both work well, though XPdf (in C++) is faster. http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/ https://github.com/zejn/pypdf2xml pdf2xml (also Python) is slightly quicker than pypdf2xml but

I don’t see why there is a flame potential here; I certainly won’t start a flame war. My previous post was a bit heated, as a protest against the abuse of language; removing a facility may make Pharo easier to maintain, but it is not an enhancement for the user. I wasn’t aware that the theme is

Another way of promoting Pharo is copying its advantages to other languages. The ideal way is for people to get straight to Pharo and fall in love with it. But sometimes this may be possible for several reasons. The most usual being that people simple are not in the mood of learning a new language

I share Manuel's view about delegating some functionality to external apps, like a PDF reader, the web browser or even Pandoc. There is a lot of external mature stuff out there and we can gain users from there if we make bridges to the stuff they already know and use. For example, I would like to
