Context 3 beta 1 released

I’ve released Context 3 beta 1. This is another “ignition check” release. On the Mac, the intended sequence of events is:

  • You double-click on the app.
  • The app is an AppleScript which starts an embedded Context virtual machine, which resumes a web server. The AppleScript also opens a web browser on the web server’s welcome page.
  • The welcome page tells you what to do next (but it currently refers to things which don’t exist).

I’m working on the equivalent magic for Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux for the next release; suggestions welcome.

Please let me know if the startup sequence works for you, and any questions or comments you have. This is an exciting release, because it’s the first one that could be the basis for a self-supporting community.

Thanks!

Craig

Simulating Cuis

I fixed a few bugs with the virtual machine simulator in Squeak 4.3, and now I have it running Cuis. Next I’ll run Dissolve on it, to see how small I can get it.
