Description

This is a replacement for (Identity)Dictionary and (Identity/Weak)Set that uses chaining instead of linear probing for collision resolution. This results in a much better performance for big Collections.

Installation

To install Hashtable on your Pharo image you can just execute the following script:

    Metacello new
    	githubUser: 'pharo-contributions' project: 'Hashtable' commitish: 'v1.x.x' path: 'src';
    	baseline: 'Hashtable';
    	load

To add Hashtable to your baseline just add this:

    spec
    	baseline: 'Hashtable'
    	with: [ spec repository: 'github://pharo-contributions/Hashtable:v1.x.x/src' ]

Note that you can replace the #v1.x.x by a branch as #master or #development or a tag as #v1.0.0, #v1.? or #v1.2.x.

Version management

This project use semantic versioning to define the releases. This means that each stable release of the project will be assigned a version number of the form vX.Y.Z.

• X defines the major version number
• Y defines the minor version number
• Z defines the patch version number

When a release contains only bug fixes, the patch number increases. When the release contains new features that are backward compatible, the minor version increases. When the release contains breaking changes, the major version increases.

Thus, it should be safe to depend on a fixed major version and moving minor version of this project.
