Any 3.10.1 related , different to my hard questioned decisions of going back
to old trusted .cs , 3.8 good practices and try to put all Mantis reports
still relevant to 3.10 into the release is not me.
At the moment I only continue FunSqueak and shortly retake my own way.
To any wishing know.
I decide re-made from 3.9 with .cs only.
I decide call SqueakLightII as others do his 3.11 view.
I try to go as closer as MinimalMorphic as possible, but keeping Flaps, the
Projects save and load again, the Morphs save and load again.
Also I try to revamp my "class repository" idea, as any could see in
ftp://edgardec@squeakros.atspace.com:21/squeakros.atspace.com/CompressedClas
ses
pass is squeak , as you could guess
The files there come from 3.8 , sqz files was gzipped files made by Squeak
All this have 8 months of not going forward .
I'm 59 now. Have a year less to do things.
So I could do a better Squeak if any is with me.
Or take a comfortable coach and see "Titanic" again...
