Squeak-dev image is an image made for squeak developers.


*Important notice:* This version is based on Squeak 3.10 7091.



You can download it here:

Changes in this version:
------------------------------
- OmniBrowser has been widely updated. A new way of building the
interface appeared. Thanks goes to Lukas Renggli for his
implementation of the morphic builder for 3.9 and his help for
isolating 3.9 fixes for OB.
- DynamicProtocols shouldn't slow down your image anymore. Slow
protocols are deactivated by default now.
- Lot's of other packages have been updated too.


Updating the image:
-------------------------

You are not obliged to download a new image if you don't want. You can
always update your image.

To upgrade your already existing squeak-dev image:

1) World menu->open...->Package Universe Browser
2) Update list from network
3) Select all upgrades
4) Install selection
5) Execute: 'DEVImageCreator default install' (all windows will be closed)


Prepared packages:
--------------------------

There are a lot of packages prepared for you in this image. They are
not loaded in the image, but they can be easily.

- Open Package Universe Browser (world->open...->Package Universe Browser).
- Click on "Update list from network"
- Wait a few seconds
- Select your packages
- Install them

Future work:
----------------

- Wait for feedback.
- Follow Squeak 3.10 beta releases.
- Integrate the Universe browser based on the OmniBrowser framework
(http://www.squeaksource.com/OBUniverse/).
- Think about a new way of naming the image version. This is because
currently, the version is based on the Monticello repository version.
However, the big updates/changes now happen in the universe directly
and I don't have to touch the source code anymore.

Please tell me what is your experience with this version. Please tell me
what you want for this image, this is for you.
