So, time to learn more about Monticello... Reading the Updated PbE is helpful, however I did notice one thing which doesn't match my experience. On page 150 it is discussing how you can't lose code...
"This is because all of the code that you executed is saved in the .changes file. All of it! This includes one liners that you evaluate in a workspace, as well as code that you add to a class while programming."
Should "workspace" be changed to "playground"?
Yes, can you open an issue please? :)

Issue 164: https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample/issues/164
My experience has been that code evaluated in the playground is *not* saved to the changes file (Pharo 4.0 and 5.0). Is there a way to tell Pharo to save evaluated code to the changes file? (I admit to being lazy and not trying to figure this one out myself yet).
All the *compiled* code is save. The playgroud is for playing, so it is not save in the change file. But the playground should save the code and you have a little menu to select your last scripts.

If you use several times the same code you can also give a name to the tab (2 click on "Page") and after you can save the playground code. Via the spotter you can use the name of the tab to get a playground with the code.
This sounds great, but I can't reproduce it. Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "2 click on Page"? I tried clicking on the various buttons, and clicking action-clicking, and middle buttong click on the tab name ("Page"), without success (Pharo 5.0 50702).
I think you want to double click on "Page". At least it works on Mac OSX and Pharo 5.
Finally, in Section 8.2 on versions of a method, my impression from reading the section was that it would always display all versions of a method, i.e. I have 24 versions of a package in my package cache, so expected to see each modification to each method in the package. However because I had switched to a new image and loaded the newest package, only the latest version was shown.
In the setting you can change the package-cache location to use always the same location even when you change of image. If the book is not clear can you copy/paste your mail into a github issue please? To not lose this feedback :)

If I get time I'll also make the suggested changes and issue a pull request.
Thanks! Alistair
