Hi Eliot --

:-) Meanwhile, I am talking with Tobias about fonts and font rendering from time to time. He is like: "We have to change everything!" And I am like: "Well, we can substantially improve on the status quo using the resources we have at hand." ... "But Adobe Illustrator! But Apple!" ... It's fun.

Best,
Marcel

Hi Eliot --

No worries. Do you have a quick idea on what might have caused the confusion? Could the UI be more specific/explanatory in some regard?

Yes, but it would probably be equivalent to a general AI. The issue is being able to identify method moves through a hierarchy.  I think this is a hard problem.  So while it's theoretically possible, I don't think it's affordable to improve upon with current computational and engineering resources :-)


Best,
Marcel

Ignore me.  I was confused between a modification and a deletion.  Sorry for the noise.

Hi,

    I'm merging a VMMaker.oscog commit into an image with an experiment in progress.  Two methods are hence in conflict.  In the MCMergeBrowser these two methods show only the in-image variant, not the diff of the in-image and incoming methods, as was previously (and must be) the case.  This is after ==========  Update of trunk completed:  21017 -> 21069 ==========
