Yes but I do not work on
- new first class instance variable - byecode loader - new package to speed up everything - scripting syntax
Never mind, when I said "you", it was not specifically you, but anyone else prefering to wait because of no free time.
so at the end I'm not sure what we lose but they are simple actions that other people can do too to distribute the load. So may be I will stop looking at squeak log.
Sure, the danger is to become a follower of random activity driven by others. If time is sparse, you might prefer to keep control. But some changes like file buffering really makes a difference.
Yes but tracking changes you do not know is also taking time. I started but so far failed two times because you have to go slowly not to break too much the system. Tomorrow I will follow the advice of levente and check. The problem also is that the level of the tools is not really good.
That shouldn't be hard: in a updated Trunk image, file out MultiByteFileStream and StandardFileStream. Open a File Browser in your Pharo image select one of the files, right click and select "code-file browser". This will show you all the methods in the file and will diff it with the current versions (if it exists). The annotation pane shows the timestamp and information about the method (new, identical, modified, etc).
ok I will try like that. usually I check all the deltas in chronological order and skip what is not needed and wished. Stef
