Cool. Calypso and multiple tags per method is not really functional at this point. Phil On Sun, Dec 23, 2018, 12:29 Pavel Krivanek <pavel.krivanek@gmail.com wrote:

Hi Pavel, You've mentioned the Zinc update and deprecating FileStream, but I think the adoption of Zinc streams as the default is probably worth it's own entry (that was Pharo 7, right?, maybe my memory is failing).

Hi Alistair, the FileStream is supposed to be deprecated for several releases. In Pharo 7, we just take it more seriously. We should link to the related deprecation guides. The changelog already contains: "continue on deprecation of FileStream". Moreover, we will add a list of all deprecated methods and classes as we did for Pharo 6. -- Pavel ne 23. 12. 2018 v 18:23 odesÃlatel Alistair Grant <akgrant0710@gmail.com> napsal:

The difference is that a couple of classes actually moved to Deprecated and using them now results in warnings. And although there are still reference to the Deprecated classes, I am relatively sure that the bulk of file stream usage now goes via the newer classes. This is an important milestone and change.
From now on, the message is: use FileReferences and ask them for the [read|write] [character|binary] streams that you need, and what you get back will be different but mostly compatible, the non-compatible changes are deliberate design choices.

Thanks pavel. This is indeed a really nice list. Thanks for your effort to gather this summary. BTW: I would put a bit more emphasis on the new stream and deprecation of the old stream hierarchy because it was a large effort. And I want to thank guillermo for this.

The logic of the Finder was totally rewritten and it is now A LOT better. The previous version was a really inheritance from another age :). Thanks Yoan Geran for his really superb dedication to this task. Stef On Sun, Dec 23, 2018 at 12:29 PM Pavel Krivanek <pavel.krivanek@gmail.com> wrote:
