馃摙 Please use the more recent release candidate OSVM Version 2023.12

Release Candidate Version 2023

  • Adds error codes for ImageSegment storage primitive fail
  • Adds error codes for primitiveFileClose on Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • Adds machine-code primitive for #primitiveHighResClock on 64-bit platforms
  • Adds machine-code primitive for #perform:withArguments: (84)
  • Adds VM parameter 50 for maxLiteralCountForCompile
  • Adds primitive 96 (primitiveObjectsAccessibleFromRoots) to be used on an array of objects; internally part of primitive 98 (primitiveStoreImageSegment)
  • Adds support for multi-byte data to ClipboardExtendedPlugin
  • Adds support for various data types to ClipboardExtendedPlugin on Windows
  • Adds support for UTF8 Unicode to ClipboardExtendedPlugin on Windows
  • Adds flag #upscaleDisplayIfHighDPI to be set via command line or stored in image header; true by default
  • Adds support for -eventtrace on Linux and Windows
  • Fixes memory leak related to scale-factor lookup on Linux (X11)
  • Fixes potential GDI leak in getDpiSystem on Windows
  • Fixes failure of Spur image segment loading due to not having enough memory
  • Fixes path lookup for "." (i.e., current directory) on Windows
  • Fixes JIT issue around frameless block activation
  • Fixes JIT issue around cache flushing on ARMv8
  • Fixes bug in primitive 105 (primitiveSpurStringReplace)
  • Fixes bug in SpurSegmentManager
  • Fixes bug in BitBlt rgbMul combination
  • Fixes structure argument passing for ARMv8 FFI call-outs
  • Fixes float conversions for FFI call-outs
  • Fixes float arguments for FFI call-outs on RiscV64
  • Fixes #become: on compiled methods for Spur flavors
  • Fixes jitted #perform: primitive by adding argument-count check
  • Fixes MoveCqR on ARMv8 for certain bit patterns (in the JIT)
  • Fixes crash on ARMv8 when toggling fail/succeed primitives for mixed mode arithmetic
  • Fixes accessor-depth calculation in SocketPlugin and other places
  • Fixes type-declaration problem in DeflatePlugin for 64-bit RiscV
  • Fixes other issues around SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugins (e.g., JPEGReadWriter2Plugin, BitBltSimulation, SocketPlugin)
  • Updates support for compilation on RiscV64 (including FFI plugin)
  • Updates VectorEnginePlugin to 2022-10-28 (89cc00e86...) from Cuis
  • Updates BitBltPlugin to be faster for noSource/noHalftone setup
  • Updates joystick support on Linux

馃毀 Compatibility notes

  • Pre-built Linux binaries require GLIBC_2.29, which means Ubuntu 20.04 or later
    • For older systems, please build on your own
    • We will happily help out; just ask on the vm-dev mailing list
  • On macOS, a restart of the VM is required after installing SqueakFFI for the first time
    • Otherwise, modules and function addresses cannot be loaded

鈿狅笍 Known issues

  • On Ubuntu 22.04 within VirtualBox 7.0, screen contents stop refreshing after some keyboard input until mouse cursor is moved again
  • On Ubuntu/Linux, many SqueakSSL tests fail on Squeak 6.0+ ... might be an image-related issue
  • On macOS, command-line arguments are not passed to the image (see #668)
  • On macOS, file-drop crashes the VM
  • Crashes on RaspPi4; we are investigating
    • The platform subtype can be 'aarch64', which means that (at least in Squeak) the detection of #isLowerPerformance fails and thus lots of tests are timing out. See TestCase >> #defaultTimeout
