[ANN] Magma 1.0 release 44

Tue Mar 2 15:52:59 UTC 2010

Hi Ramiro, I just tested installing into Pharo 10508 via MC
Configurations.  There is a Warning that you must proceed past
regarding EventSensor.  This is a harmless warning related to Pharo's
renaming of that class to "InputEventSensor" that was discussed on
this list last month.

But yes, something did go wrong with the SqueakMap SAR files that had
the wrong version of one of the packages specified.  This has been
fixed and I have tested loading all three tiers (client, server,
tester) into a base Squeak 3.10-7179 image.  You may now install from
SqueakMap.

Thanks for letting me know!
  Chris
