Hi Subbu.

Ah, you are looking for non-local versions. Anyway, you could load all those older VMMaker versions one after another to populate the .changes file. The you can update your Trunk image because "Tools-mt.970" added method recovery for the local .changes file. Should be in the "Extras" menu below "Recover changes".

Maybe it helps.

Best,

Marcel,

The .changes file does not contain the version history of packages
loaded through Monticello :-(.

While catching up with old Squeak discussions[1], I came across

Interpreter translate: 'Interp.c' doInlining: false

this method was deleted in VMMaker sometime before Squeak 3.8. This is
when it struck me that deletion is not like other changes. Neither
ChangeSorter nor Monticello had a facility to search patch history for
strings :-(.

I am felt too lazy to bisect all changesets in VMMaker from that far
back. Perhaps there must be an easier way. Hence my question.
