Dan,

Considering the size of the changes file and the sheer number of new things
that have been introduced since SqueakV2.sources was generated May 23, 1998
-- and the fact you'll probably put out a version 2.4b anyway -- would it be
a good time to create a new .sources file? I realize you like to do this
with major version releases, but if you plan to let 2.4 stand for a while it
might be nice to have a matching .source file to distribute with it. In
fact, having the .sources file track the minor version releases (like
SqueakV2.4x.sources, SqueakV2.5x.sources, ...) might be less confusing for
many, and reduce the overall total footprint of a Squeak system in the
process.

This should not be a problem if the sources are handled as binary files, but it has been our policy to keep LFs out of the sources to avoid such problems.  I did an exhaustive test of the sources in releasing 2.4, and I just never thought one would creep back in from the couple of updates to 2.4a.  Murphy at work.

We'll try to correct any other such problems in the next day or two, and then I'll probably put out yet another version as 2.4b.  We want 2.4 to be a release we can leave in place for a few months, and I'd like it to be solid from the get-go so that newbies don't have to know about updates to get everything right.
