Release News:

 

Version 2.05 of the Squeak harvesting tool has been registered with
SqueakMap.  BFAV 2.05 sports a new reviewer notepad that is considerably
more friendly, usable and powerful than the previous version:

In addition, I have added some context-menu options that enable
"jumping" from item to item in the listing pane:

Also, this package release has significant performance enhancements.
Locally-cached posts load almost instantly now.  This means that when
hitting the down or up arrow to move through the listing quickly, or
when clicking rapidly around in the listing, that the only time you
should see a delay is when the BFAV2 has to download details about a
post from the server.

 

Installation Details:

 

BFAV 2.05 is for 3.7 images only at this point.  

 

Folks using the cutting edge 3.7alpha image should be aware that as of
3.7a-5707, there is a known bug (caused by the recent Chronology
updates) that breaks "load updates" for the BFAV2.  A fix has been
submitted, tested and approved for this bug - but the fix is not yet in
the update stream.

Until the fix is added to the update stream, reviewers working from
3.7a-5707 or later images need to load this before opening the BFAV:
