Record code changes and some IDE events in Pharo
# epicea Epicea is a tool for Pharo that records **code changes** enriched with **IDE events**. Epicea extends and could replace the traditional **.changes** logging mechanism, where the recorded code changes are incomplete and are not properly reified and thus it can be difficult to recover lost code after an image crash. Epicea has a small subproject, named **Ombu**, which provides simple persistence. By default, Ombu uses [STON](http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SvenVanCaekenberghe/STON) to write the events when they are announced in the system. STON is part of Pharo 5.0. :warning: OUTDATED: The latest version this project is located inside [Pharo repository](https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo). :warning: ## Install it Note this project is already part of Pharo 6 and 7. However, if you need to install it in some situation, the script to do it is: ```Smalltalk Metacello new repository: 'github://tinchodias/epicea/src'; baseline: 'Epicea'; load. ``` ## Use it - Enable recording at `System Settings > Epicea`. - To browse the recorded logs, click on `World menu > Tools > Code Changes` - To browse any **.ombu** file with a log, you can simply drag&drop it from your file browser (e.g. Finder in Mac) into the image. ## License The code is licensed under [MIT](LICENSE). ## More info **Publications** - 2015: [Ph.D. thesis, chapter 3](http://rmod.inria.fr/archives/phd/PhD-2015-Dias.pdf) - 2013: [short paper](http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/archives/papers/Dias13a-IWST13-Epicea.pdf) **Brief history** This project started as a fork (or a continuation) of Ezequiel's [NewChangeSystem](http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~EzequielLamonica/NewChangeSystem).
