Hi Pavel,
Very good job!
I mainly used MinimalMorphic and the following micro-report is about
it. I didn't any benchmarks (did you?) but it seems really fast which
is great. But, the image file size difference compared to
KernelImageMC is just too much (MinimalImage 2 times larger!). Do you
plan to shrink minimal morphic further ?
Three bugs in MinimalImage:
-Exceptions don't understand defaultAction while this message is sent
(at least) in UndefinedObject>>handleSignal:
-When entering or leaving a Morphic, I got an exception in
LanguageEnvironment>>isFontAvailabe because TextStyle defaultFont
don't understand fontArray.
-I tried to enter into an MVC project but failed. Squeak draws the
MVC, but then I get an error in Project>>isTopProject and a restore
display shows the root project. The parentProject IV of the MVC
project is set to nil instead of refering to a Project.
BTW, the size difference between KernelImageMC and
