Etoys 4 y la nueva Vitrinaby Timothy FalconerEncontrarás más abajo algunas ideas de Scott Wallace, junto con las notas de publicación de Etoys 4 que detallan los cambios que encontrarás. La nueva Vitrina Squeakland es especialmente interesante. Todos pueden ahora compartir sus proyectos en nuestro sitio web directamente desde Etoys, donde la comunidad Etoys puede así beneficiarse con los muchos sorprendentes y útiles ejemplos disponibles. Por favor explora la vitrina y comparte tus proyectos con nosotros. Deseamos oír de tí! Otra cosa, si no anotaste tu nombre en lista de Squeakers, considera agregarlo. Mientras escribo esto, más de 180 personas desde 36 países ya lo hicieron, lo que realmente muestra el entusiasmo y el alcance de Etoys alrededor del mundo. Etoys 4 and the new Showcaseby Timothy FalconerBelow you'll find some thoughts by Scott Wallace, along with the Etoys 4 release notes which detail the changes you'll find. Of special interest is the new Squeakland Showcase. Everyone can now share their projects directly from Etoys to our website, where the Etoys community can then benefit from the many surprising and useful Etoys examples that are available. Please explore the showcase and share your projects with us. We want to hear from you! Also, if you haven't signed our Squeakers list, consider adding your name. As I write this, more than 175 people from 35 countries have signed, which really shows the enthusiasm and reach of Etoys throughout the world. Squeak Etoys 4 Release NotesPlease join us! ShowcaseThe biggest change to Etoys and the Squeakland website is our new project showcase. You may now share projects directly from Etoys to the Squeakland website. Simply click the Save button, give project details, and choose "My Squeakland" as the save location. To get a showcase account, visit http://squeakland.org/action/signup.You can then access your project from the Squeakland website or directly within Etoys itself, using the Load button. This allows you to use the website as a central place to store your Etoys projects, whether you wish to make them public or not. When you first upload a project, it's marked private, which means only you or your friends may see it. (Friends functionality will be added later this year.) You can then choose to make your project public by clicking "make public" on the project page. After being reviewed by other users for inappropriate content, your project will then become visible to everyone. Please help us show off the best Etoys projects! Etoys-To-GoThe next big change is called "Etoys-To-Go", which is a new way to install and use Etoys. Simply choose Etoys-To-Go from the download page instead of Windows, Mac, or Linux. You'll then have a portable Etoys that works on any computer that can be easily copied from machine to machine, without the added installation step. Even better, you can run Etoys-To-go directly from a USB flash drive, which means you can use Etoys on any computer without getting permission from system administrators. Your project files are saved back to the USB stick, so you can quickly save and run on your way to school. Unfortunately, Etoys-To-Go does not include our browser plugin, so if you want to browse projects on the web, you'll still need to download and install the usual Windows, Mac, or Linux version. Project files can be easily exchanged between the Etoys-To-Go, Mac, Windows, and Linux versions.License CleanEtoys 4 is now "license clean", which means it conforms to the requirements of free and open source systems, such as the various Linux distributions. In 1996, Apple released Squeak under their own license. In 2006, Apple relicensed the Squeak core under the Apache 2.0 license, thanks to Steve Jobs, Alan Kay, and the lawyers involved. Soon after, Viewpoints Research collected written relicensing agreements from several hundred contributors under the MIT license, thanks to Kim Rose and the Squeak community volunteers. Finally, all code in Etoys not explicitly covered by a relicensing agreement was removed, rewritten, or reverted to an earlier version, thanks primarily to the efforts of Yoshiki Ohshima. The result of this hard work is that Squeak Etoys is now completely free and open source, which means it can be used and modified by anyone in the world for whatever purpose they imagine.Improvements

Great Hope for the Futureby Scott WallaceThroughout the 2009 transition, Viewpointers were involved on an almost daily basis with the software team. Etoys 4 marks the end of that formal involvement. Many of us will continue as ordinary, contributing members of the Squeak Etoys community on a volunteer basis, but the system and the vision and the future of Etoys are now entirely in the hands of Squeakland Foundation, and thus, more than ever, in the hands of the broader community itself. For those of us who have been involved with Etoys for many years, it is a poignant moment. Since the beginning, a small core group of us at Viewpoints Research have always had ultimate responsibility for Squeak Etoys -- the code, the decisions, the releases. Passing those powers and responsibilities on will not be entirely painless for us, but it's a goal of Viewpoints to spin out research prototypes beyond our lab. It's also the right thing to do, given the recent increase in Etoys usage due to OLPC. Several things give me great hope that the future of Etoys is bright. Foremost is the promise of the new website, particularly the Showcase, with its "featured" projects vetted by the education team and with the ability for children and adults to save and share their projects on the site. The content and evolution of the Showcase will comprise a centerpiece and gathering place for our community. We will all benefit and learn from the sharing of interesting projects. Secondly, people in the community have started posting code fixes and enhancements to our software tracker, and the new etoys-dev mailing list has been active. And lastly, witnessing the commitment and strength of people in the community, beginning with Tim and Rita, and continuing through our strong teams of educators, business people, and software writers, and ultimately with the passion of our hardy, worldwide community of users. All of these things give me confidence and optimism that Etoys will continue to thrive and inspire for many years to come. Squeak Etoys 4 Notas de PublicaciónPor favor, únete a nosotros! VitrinaEl cambio mas grande a Etoys y el sitio web de Squeakland es nuestra nueva vitrina de proyectos. Puedes ahora compartir proyectos directamente desde Etoys en el sitio web de Squeakland. Simplemente haz click en el botón Guardar, da los detalles del proyecto, y elige "Mi Squeakland" como lugar donde guardar. Para conseguir una cuenta de vitrina, visita http://squeakland.org/action/signup.Podrás luego acceder a tu proyecto desde el sitio web Squeakland o directamente desde Etoys mismo, usando el botón Cargar. Esto te permite usar el sitio web como un lugar central donde almacenar tus proyectos Etoys, sea que desees publicarlos o no. Cuando subes un proyecto por primera vez, se marcará privado, lo que significa que solamente tú y tus amigos podrán verlo. (La función Amigos será agregada más adelante, este año). Podrás luego decidir publicar tu proyecto haciendo click en "publicar" en la página del proyecto. Después que lo examinen otros usuarios, si no tiene contenido inapropiado, tu proyecto se volverá visible a todos. Por favor ayúdanos a mostrar los mejores proyectos Etoys! Etoys PortátilEl siguiente gran cambio se llama "Etoys Portátil", que es una nueva manera de instalar y usar Etoys. Simplemente elige "Etoys-To-Go" de la página "bajar", en vez de Windows, Mac o Linux. Tendrás entonces un Etoys Portátil que funciona en cualquier computadora que puede ser fácilmente copiado de una máquina a otra sin el paso extra de instalación. Aún mejor, podrás usar Etoys Portátil directamente desde un pendrive, lo que significa que puedes usar Etoys en cualquier computadora sin requerir permiso de los administradores del sistema. tus archivos con proyectos serán vueltos a guardar en el pendrive, de modo que podrás rápidamente guardarlos y salir corriendo a la escuela. Desafortunadamente, Etoys Portátil no incluye el plugin para el navegador, de modo que si quieres hojear proyectos en la red, tendrás todavía que bajar e instalar las versiones usuales para Windows, Mac o Linux. Los archivos de proyectos se pueden intercambiar fácilmente entre las versiones Etoys Portátil, Mac, Windows y Linux.Licencia LimpiaEtoys 4 tiene ahora "licencia limpia", lo que significa que cumple con los requisitos de sistema gratis de código abierto, tal como las varias distribuciones de Linux. En 1996, Apple publicó Squeak bajo su propia licencia. En 2006, Apple volvió a licenciar el núcleo de Squeak bajo la licencia Apache 2.0, gracias a Steve Jobs, Alan Kay y los abogados en el asunto. Poco después, Viewpoints Research obtuvo acuerdos escritos de licencia de varios cientos de contribuyentes bajo la licencia de MIT, gracias a Kim Rose y los voluntarios de la comunidad Squeak. Finalmente, todas las porciones del código de Etoys no explícitamente cubiertas por los acuerdos de relicencia, fueron eliminadas, vueltas a escribir o remplazadas por una versión anterior, gracias principalmente a los esfuerzos de Yoshiki Oshima. El resultado de este duro trabajo es que Squeak Etoys es ahora completamente gratis y con código abierto, lo que significa que cualquiera en cualquier parte del mundo puede usarlo y modificarlo con cualquier propósito que pueda imaginar.Mejoras
