Hi lukas, sorry for your frustration, that I can easily understand I do not remember. There are some changes that when deprecated get in our way. I still think that we need a refactoring deprecate methods because just doing all of them by hand is not possible. I believe that we need to have the RBEngine all the time available and that the notion of core should vanish but I made no progress on the idea of using metacello to manage pharo-dev in a way that we could refactor all the packages at the same time.

I wonder why the old editor functionality was removed instead of being deprecated until the next release like this is normally done?
It is extremely difficult to get any GUI related stuff ported, because the packages cannot simply be loaded. One has to fix part of the package in the old image, and part of the package in the new image. One wrong method, and everything blows up irreversibly.
I spent the whole afternoon trying to get OB, Shout and eCompletion working. OB and Shout kind of work (thanks to the preparations in the PharoTaskForces), but they are still subtly broken. eCompletion is very hard to get working. The idea of making completion part of the ToolSet doesn't help at all, the patch now just moved from Morphic to the StandardToolSet class.
I am frustrated and give up, I revert back to Pharo 1.1.
