Issue 6356: some cleanups related to methods moved away from SmalltalkImage (vm and os related) http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6356
OK. but how can a poor library developer trying to write code that has to remain compatible with 1.3 and 1.4 deal with this ?
Have a look at
ZnUserAgentSettings class>>#platformDetails ^ self platform platformName, ' ', self platform platformSubtype, ' ', self platform osVersion
Now, this is a deprecated class in Zn as well, but rewriting
self platform osVersion
to
self platform os version
does not seem to give the same result in 1.4
Any suggestions ?
maybe we need to concept of pre-deprecation? Then we can pre-deprecate a method, and a version later deprecate it, and then remove it... In general: staying compatible forever means no change. That is possible, too. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
