Well, maybe I'm not expressing myself very well ;-) Really, what I'm 
looking for is something like a "CHANGELOG" file, e.g., a summary of the 
log entries since version X. If that information (the log entry for each 
version in the history) is readily available I'd love to find out how to 
use it to generate such a change log between version X and Y. Basically 
just a summary like this:

Croquet-Copier-ar.6 (4 April 2006, 6:58:05 pm)
- replace underscore assignment with colon-equals

Croquet-Copier-ar.5 (7 March 2006, 8:02:41 pm)
- Homebase-Hedgehog integration

Croquet-Copier-ar.4 (31 January 2006, 10:48:12 pm)
- fix endian conversions for the copier

This was created by going to the hedgehog repository and 
http://hedgehog.software.umn.edu:8888/hedgehogRC.html and extracting the 
information from the accessible versions. Unfortunately, if an 
intermediate version (Croquet-Copier-ar.5 for example) isn't accessible 
there is no way of finding out what exactly has changed in that version.

So if this information is indeed readily available please let me know 
where and how (and perhaps I can convince a SqueakSource developer to 
add the change log to the actions for a package version?).

Cheers,
