Francois, The #stable symbolic version is the key when dealing with a new platform version like pharo 1.4 ... if a configuration does not have a #stable version for #pharo1.4 then it is not likely that the configuration has been tested on pharo1.4 ... If it does have a #stable version then it is likely to have been tested. At this point you have a decision to make ... If your project depends upon particular features or APIs in a project like Zinc or Seaside or FS, then you will be interested in referencing that particular version in your specification. Nonetheless if there is no #stable version specified for the project, then you can't be sure that the project has been ported. On the other hand, if your project uses the standard API and has no special dependencies upon details of the project, then you should reference the #stable version from your configuration ... using #stable means that you don't have to fiddle with your configuration every time a new version is released and using #stable means that your configuration will work with multiple platform versions. Once you have verified that your project is working on pharo1.4, then you should publish a #stable version for #pharo1.4, so that users of your project will know that they can safely move to pharo 1.4 ...
