2011/9/22 Marcus Denker <marcus.denker@inria.fr> Hi,

There are two changesets waiting for integrating in 1.4 that have serious consequences:

- Ephemerons. The VM level changes are in the Cog VMs build on Jenkins, but have not been integrated in the VMMaker codebase.

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4265

- Finalization code checks for #hasNewFinalization This is true in the current VMs build in Jenkins, but in older VMs this is not in.

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4483

There are two options:

a) integrate in b) not integrate it

a) means that the image runs on older VMs, too.

"runs" or "will not run"?

Not run.

In any case, I am in favor to go ahead and change. Moreover, I am not sure it is a big deal here, since it will not impact application code.

The problems are: - people have to use the VM from https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/Cog/ So older Vms (with more or different plugins, for example) are not possible. - there is no way to double check if a bug is specific to the Jenkins build Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
