List,
I forgot about the release notes... I'm on the list, so I see them in real time.

But it turned out to be a non-issue, nothing got broken and nobody had

Well, Squeak Inbox Talk displayed dates in the wrong timezone since then
until I noticed, but I have fixed that now. :-)
Oh dear, I stand corrected!
At my work, the time zone of your punch is determined by the device you use to punch. Luckily, our corporate had the foresight to *not* record in UTC or with zone offset, so upon discovery everybody got a few extra days of backpay.
You were right to call that a breaker.
What I want to say with that is, I would not assume that everyone who detects a bug or a breaking change will report it to the mailing list. I think (at least I hope?) that there is a notable part of the community that does not actively engage on the mailing list.
I would hope so as well! It was good to see new names during the 6.0 release.
Maybe someone also will update a package five years from now from Squeak
6.0 to Squeak 7.0 and stumble about that breaking change. But as mentioned earlier, I think that a simple entry in the release notes will be fine.
I agree. And your work on release notes is very much appreciated
I should read them! It sounds like a fair bit of effort on your part.
