Hi Mariano, I suppose my question was mainly about how to keep that 1.0
version up with its current fixes. Is it a question of watching out for a
new release on the downloads page.

It would be preferable to pick up all updates (semi)automatically, in which
case you know that a bug you hit is still a bug.

I know I have seen bugs such as the one I just logged, but felt they were
likely already in the works, or caused by something I'd done. If I can
easily keep an image as the 'gold standard' of where a patched up to date
image should be, I'm more likely to decide something really is a bug and log
it.


Stan, I am afraid I am not understanding you perfectly. Sorry if that's the case. The question is "how to have your image 1.0 updated up to date?"
There are two things:

1) All the issues/fixes for EXTERNAL packages, will be comited in external repositories. Once a month, more or less, a new Pharo (dev and web) image is generated. That image is build with the latests version of the external packages (and the latest PharoCore image), thus it should contain the fixes (if there were).

2) All the issues/fixes that are INTERNAL to Pharo (pharo core) will be release us a number (ej 10599) and will be put in the "update stream". This mean you will be able to do� mouse click -> "System" -> "software update" and get that latest version.

But I am not sure about this as I remember a change Damien wanted to do so that the "software update" also updates the external packages (not only core).

Do you know which is the state damien?

I hope I don't confuse you even more hahaha.

Kind regards,

Mariano
