Hi,
Please spread widely, and sorry for multiple posts.
(this post can be see here:
http://pharo.org/news/pharo-5.0-released)
Dear World,
The time has come for *Pharo 5.0*!
<pharo50-screenshot.png>
This is our most significant release yet. Here are some highlights:
- The PharoVM is now based on Spur, the new memory management, and
it brings with it a 35% speedup!
- A new unified foreign function interface (UFFI) replaced
NativeBoost to provide a strong Spur-compatible framework for
interfacing with the outside world.
- The Glamorous Toolkit now includes the GTDebugger to offer a
moldable infrastructure that allows the developer to customize the
debugger deeply.
- The underlying Reflectivity mechanism has reached maturity with
multiple pieces coming together to empower developers to instrument
their own systems. For example, we now have breakpoints implemented
as just a simple extension of this mechanism.
- QualityAssistant is now part of the image to provide live feedback
during development.
These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are
just as important. We have closed 2446 issues in Pharo 5. Take a
moment to go through a more detailed recount of the progress:
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo50Change….
While the technical improvements are significant, just think of
getting 30% faster out-of-the-box, still the most impressive fact is
that the new code that got in the main Pharo 5.0 image was
contributed by 100 people. Together we have touched 43% of the
classes, and 20% of the methods. The following visualization
rendered with Roassal in Pharo 5.0 is dedicated to this effort. The
picture shows the touched classes and packages in gray, the authors
and the links to the changed classes in red, and, using an
automatically generated visual id, you can spot authors that have
worked on similar projects.
