With the 1.0-beta.1 release of the GemTools Client, we’re doing two things:

  1. Conforming to the new Metacello configuration naming convention.
  2. Getting ready for the imminent GLASS 1.0-beta.0 release.

GemTools 1.0-beta.1 features:

  • Convert to using ConfigurationOfGemTools.
  • Nicer info dialog when Undefined symbols and Unsent messages are clean
  • Support for GemStone/S 3.0 GciErrSType
  • Change restore from backup done message … do not prompt to start Seaside gems if Seaside is not installed
  • Replace dialogs that are calling “ifNotEmpty:” with: “isEmptyOrNil” (from Gerhard)
  • autoAbort _before_ commands is now optional (off by default)

If you’ve already installed the GemTools Client 1.0-beta.0, then you want to follow the Update instructions. To install the GemTools Client in a virgin Squeak or Pharo image jump to the Install instructions.

Update

With GemTools Client 1.0-beta.0 already installed, we need to update to using ConfigurationOfMetacello as well as ConfigurationOfGemTools:

  1. Load the latest version of the ConfigurationOfMetacello package  from http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/metacello.
  2. Load the latest version of the ConfigurationOfGemTools package  from http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/GLASSClient.
  3. Execute the following expression in a workspace: 
    ConfigurationOfMetacello loadLatestVersion.
ConfigurationOfGemTools loadLatestVersion.

Then continue with Step 3 of the installation instructions.

Installation

If you haven’t already been using the GemTools 2.3.1 Preview for all platforms (which is based on Pharo), then you should download the preview GemTools client and follow the instructions for setting up your session to verify that you can connect to your stone. You’ll need the session information and the gci files from the Preview to get things running with the either Squeak or Pharo.

I’ve tested the installation procedure using Squeak3.10.2-Trunk-090912 and pharo1.0-10492-rc1dev09.11.1.

To load GemTools into a client image:

  1. Load the latest version of the ConfigurationOfGemTools package  from http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/GLASSClient.
  2. Execute the following expression in a workspace: 
    ConfigurationOfGemTools loadLatestVersion.
  3. Execute the following expression to open the GemTools launcher: 
    OGLauncher open
  4. Copy the session information from your old GemTools Client to the new GemTools Client in your image. Use the Edit session menu item on the Session Menu in the launchers.
  5. Save the image.
  6. Copy the gci files (gciForWindows.dll, gciForLinux.so, and gciForMacintosh.so) from GemTools-2.3.1-preview.app/Contents/Resources in the one-click into the directory containing your image and changes files.
  7. Press the Login button on the GemTools Launcher and you should be in business.
