Moose 5.0

We are happy to announce version 5.0 of the Moose Suite: http://moosetechnology.org/#install

Description

This is by far the most extensive Moose release to date. Just take a look at these two trailers:

The key highlights are:

  • It is based on Pharo 3.0.
  • Roassal2 is a complete reimplementation of the core visual engine of Moose.
  • Roassal2 replaced Roassal, EyeSee and Graph-ET, and it features many new things including smooth animations, new composeable builders and several new layouts.
  • All built-in Moose visualizations use Roassal2.
  • Glamour has been extended with a Pager browser and with Rubric as the main text editor.
  • GTSpotter is a new tool that makes it possible to find objects fast.
  • GTInspector saw major usability improvements based on the Pager browser, and it now comes with many object specific extensions.
  • GTPlayground provides a new way to handle scripts and when combined with GTInspector, it can replace the dedicated easels and editors.
  • Moose Finder has been extended with the ability of handling in place visualizations.
  • GTDebugger has been strengthen and was made more robust.
  • PetitParser has been extended with the notion of context which enables elegant island parsing.

A list of issues addressed in this release can be found on the issue tracker.
