If core (which one can use to update further) shouldnt this be reflected in the ZIP's name? >In 1.4, there is only one image. >This simplifies everything.... OK, but then two questions regarding the above image: - what is the intention? Provide only the core image in the future? Will ConfigurationOfPharo still be maintained to be able to build a dev image? - why is the provided image a Cog only image (was not able to open it with the standard VM, so it looks like it was saved with Cog) Is this intended?

As an example of how it was useful to me... the WABrush classes are fairly deep, particularly in the form elements, and it was difficult to see how to configure a given brush. Flattening it as a protocol browser instantly gave me the full API, including letting me know which methods were inherited so are also likely to be used by other common brushes. The hierarchy browser can do *some* of that, but I find them both to be useful at different times. -- Randal L.

[Pharo-project] Two simple chapters on Numbers for PBE2 :)

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi guys I want to share that with you. (may be I wrote some errors that you will spot I'm sure). I wrote two chapters for the next book: float (with the participation of Nicolas Cellier) and internal number representation (two complements and friend). I wrote that also for myself so that I can forget and just read it again and could say: ok this is that simple.... :) http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Web/Draft/ Stef

If you're talking about "browse protocol" from the code browser (or a few other interfaces), I use it all the time on other people's code, because it gives me a quick overview of the full range of what the class provides.

[Pharo-project] Deprecating Protocol browser

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

ProtocolBrowser, a subclass of MessageSet, should be deprecated. Now if the functionality is used (I never used it but I may be a non typical programmer), we could use FlatListBrowser to implement ProtocolBrowser. So let us know what you think. http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4575 Stef

[Pharo-project] Continuing to clean: deprecating TimeProfileBrowser

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi guys I would like to know what you think about: Issue 4573: Should deprecate TimeProfileBrowser TimeProfilerBrowser is a subclass of MessageSet. And we will deprecate MessageSet. Now we have a good replacement for TimeProfileBrowser, namely TimeProfiler so we can deprecate TimeProfileBrowser. Because we should continue to clean massively the StringHolder hierarchy. Stef
