Hi list, thanks to the awesome work of Vincent Blondeau, Stephan Eggermont and Cyril Ferlicot, Pharo Launcher 0.2.9 can be configured to open both spur and pre-spur Pharo images.
You can download this version from http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/PharoLauncher. You can safely replace your existing Launcher installation with the new one. Your images won't be affected and you will still be able to launch them. The VM coming with these builds is a pre-spur VM because Launcher is based on Pharo 4. If you want to launch Pharo 5 spur images, you need to separately download a Pharo 5 Spur VM from http://get.pharo.org/vm50 and configure the location of this VM in the Launcher settings (icon at the bottom left of the Launcher window). What I like about this release is that I didn't do anything but changing the version number in https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/all/job/Launcher :-). -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
