The logic of the Finder was totally rewritten and it is now A LOT better. The previous version was a really inheritance from another age :).

Thanks pavel. This is indeed a really nice list. Thanks for your effort to gather this summary. BTW: I would put a bit more emphasis on the new stream and deprecation of the old stream hierarchy because it was a large effort. And I want to thank guillermo for this.

In Pharo 7, we just take it more seriously. We should link to the related deprecation guides. The changelog already contains: "continue on deprecation of FileStream". Moreover, we will add a list of all deprecated methods and classes as we did for Pharo 6. The difference is that a couple of classes actually moved to Deprecated and using them now results in warnings. And although there are still reference to the Deprecated classes, I am relatively sure that the bulk of file stream usage now goes via the newer classes.

Hi Alistair, the FileStream is supposed to be deprecated for several releases. In Pharo 7, we just take it more seriously. We should link to the related deprecation guides. The changelog already contains: "continue on deprecation of FileStream". Moreover, we will add a list of all deprecated methods and classes as we did for Pharo 6. -- Pavel ne 23. 12. 2018 v 18:23 odesÃlatel Alistair Grant <akgrant0710(a)gmail.com> napsal: > Hi Pavel, > > You've mentioned the Zinc update and deprecating FileStream, but I > think the adoption of Zinc streams as the default is probably worth > it's own entry (that was Pharo 7, right?, maybe my memory is failing). > > Cheers, > Alistair > > On Sun, 23 Dec 2018 at 12:29, Pavel Krivanek <pavel.krivanek(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm trying to summarize the changelog for Pharo 7 (based on about 2500 > merged PRs, not counting standalone commits to Iceberg and Calypso).

Hi Pavel, You've mentioned the Zinc update and deprecating FileStream, but I think the adoption of Zinc streams as the default is probably worth it's own entry (that was Pharo 7, right?, maybe my memory is failing).
