[ANN] Queries preview on SqueakSource

[Chris Muller]

Sigh, I really wish Monticello supported deletion of packages because
there continues to be confusion about "Magma1.0".  Magma1.0 was created
when my first (failed) attempt at Magma1.1 took over the three normal
loader packages (MagmaClientLoader, MagmaServerLoader and
MagmaTesterLoader).  Since 1.1 has been withdrawn, Client, Server and
Tester reverted back to containing the 1.0 version and "Magma1.0" is
(temporarily) stale.  I have only been updating MagmaClientLoader,
MagmaServerLoader and MagmaTesterLoader with 1.0 work since January or
so.

Someday (soon) there will be, once again, two versions of Magma, 1.0
and 1.1, both supported.  1.1 is with security, 1.0 is without.  The
plan is for them to be file-compatible.  But we need to figure out a
way to handle the code/package situation where it won't be too
confusing.  Any suggestions?

What glitches did you find?  Never mind I will look..  I just hope it
is not due to having loaded Magma1.0 instead of MagmaServerLoader or
MagmaTesterLoader.

Thanks..
 - Chris
