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

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.

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.
