We merged 24 pull requests and closed 19 issues this week. The focus right now is cleaning up unused code. The image got already smaller! Immutable Litarals / Literal Sharing ================================== We compile literals as immutable objects already in Pharo9, this is now improved: Literal arrays are now recursively read-only, the compiler preference was removed and we have some first code (not used yet) to share all the equal literals between methods (and literal arrays) so save a little bit of memory. - ReadOnlyLiterals-Remove-Preference #9793 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/9793 - RecurseReadOnly-LiteralArray #9815 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/9815 - LiteralSharing-NestedArrays #9836 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/9836 Cleanups: Remove Dead Code ========================== One Focus of Pharo10 is to remove unused code.
