@German Arduino
Please stop spreading FUD. Squeak 3.9 handles “accented characters” the very same way as 3.8.

I’m evaluating the Squeak dev image, I haven’t yet chosen my final 3.9 starting point. It’ll take some more play, and some work in an upcoming side project to see things shake out.

I’m also annoyed with 3.9. I tried starting using several times, but lots and lots of lack of time trying make it works to web development.

Now, with the final version all seems to works……….except accented characters, a problem very well solved in 3.8, but again giving problems in 3.9.

Cheers.

Hi Ramon,

if you go to 3.9, please try to use squeak-dev image http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev/ or squeak-web/. They are 3.9 images ready to use for a developer with some loaded packages (shout, eCompletion, DynamicProtocols) and some prepared packages (only one click is required to install/load a prepared package).

If you feel the need to modify a squeak-dev image (manually installing a missing package or a bug correction), please tell me so that I can upgrade the image.

Bye

P.S. If you want to answer, please send me a mail

Thanks “me”, whoever you are, I’ll definitely check those fixes out and give mcc a try in the next few days.

If you are annoyed by the toolbuilder monticello either:
- uncomment the second line in MCTool >> #show:
- load an impara backport (they contain toolbuilder fixes by andereas from: http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=5217 or: http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=4991

Monticello config maps are straight forward (the ui is just crap, but what isn’t in squeak?):
- the big middle pane contains a an odered list of dependencies
- the pane contains a list of repositories from which to load the packages
- you want to use store and not post
- you can add stuff by right clicking in the pane and select add …
- you can open a map by selecting it in the monticello browser and hit browse
- you can load the packages in a map by clicking load in the monticello browser or install -> load packages in the mcc browser
- you can update the packages in a map by clicking update (you probably want from image)
- mcc doesn’t work out of the box in 3.9, please contact the maintaier
