<div>Here are the summaries for nine updates that have just been
posted to the 3.3a update servers. <br>
</div>
<div>The first eight of these updates have been suggested for
retrofitting into 3.2, even at this late date. All do seem solid
and none seems particularly risky. However, rather than
summarily smashing them right into 3.2gamma, it seems prudent to start
them all out in 3.3a. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So I would ask any follower of the 3.3a stream who is inclined to
"read updates" to give prompt attention to these, and
promptly to send feedback about them -- particularly regarding
4911swapBtnsAndKeys-nk, which is the only largish (approx 20 methods)
update among them and the only one to affect the central core of the
system.</div>
<div><br>
Thanks,<br>

<div>PS: I found Hunter Kelly's "changesFileBrowsing-hk"
contribution (now update 4908) particularly helpful earlier this week
when I lost a couple of important images to the disastrous "what
is this bug?" bug of 3.2gamma3. Update 4914,
"chgsFileForAlpha" is a 3.3-only addition that adapts
Hunter's code (written for 3.2) to 3.3a's new registering file-list
architecture.</div>

<div><font color="#000000">4906B3DRotationFix-jcg -- Joshua Gargus --
20 June 2002<br>
Before this fix, the following erroneous behavior was observed:<br>
(B3DRotation from: 0@0@1 to: 0@1@0) angle => 0.0<br>
(B3DRotation from: 0@0@1 to: (0@1@1) normalized) angle => 180.0<br>
This changeset fixes the problem, also addressing the special cases of
rotating between parallel vectors with both the same and opposite
orientations.<br>
<br>
4907categorizeFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 1 July 2002<br>
The 'categorize all uncategorized' choice in the Browser message
category pane often missed categorizations.<br>
This change set fixes this problem.<br>
<br>
4908changesFileBrowsing-hk -- Hunter Kelly -- 24 April 2002<br>
Adds methods to allow browsing of .changes files in a fashion similar
to the 'recently logged changes' menu item from the changes
menu. <br>
Adds an item in FileLists if the file ends in .changes.<br>
Useful for cherry-picking from the changes files when working with
different images."</font><br>

<div><font color="#000000">4909selDropFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 27 June
2002<br>
27 June: fixed dropping into translated coordinate systems.<br>
This fixes some problems with SelectionMorphs and the TrashCan:<br>
1. drops of SelectionMorphs always did addMorphFront: on their
selection. This CS fixes drops to do individual drops on the selected
items.<br>
2. halo deletion of SelectionMorphs did not properly trash the
selected items. This fix is from Masato Sumi.<br>
3. SelectionMorph had a hard-coded reference to its class, which makes
it hard to subclass.<br>
<br>
4910selTranslateFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 13 June 2002<br>
This fixes a problem with selection within translated
PasteUpMorphs.<br>
<br>
4911swapBtnsAndKeys-nk -- Ned Konz -- 11 February 2002<br>
This allows mouse buttons 2 and 3 to be swapped.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">It also lets you swap common control and
alt keys (like c,x,v...)</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Use the Preferences called</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">swapMouseButtons and
swapControlAndAltKeys</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">If you want to add other ctrl/alt swapped
keys, use (for instance, for f):<br>
InputSensor installSwappedKeyEntryFor: $f<br>
(tweaked sw 7/4/2002 to allow loading both into 3.3 & 3.2)<br>
<br>
4912watchCleanup-sw -- Scott Wallace -- 3 July 2002<br>
A resolution of the tension between the WatchMorph's wish to allow the
user to specify a center color and its determination to draw the
center either lighter or darker depending on whether it is AM or
PM.<br>
Removes an irrelevant method, adjusts the class comment.<br>
Makes two toggle-like menu items use the checkbox mechanism.<br>
Thanks to Alejandro Magistrello for bringing some of these issues to
light."<br>
<br>
4913workspaceNameFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 14 June 2002<br>
If a Workspace is set to create textual references to dropped morphs
and you drop a morph whose external name contains (for instance) a
hyphen, you will be unable to refer to this binding easily in the
Workspace.<br>
This change set fixes this problem by running the generated name
through String>>asIdentifier:."</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br>
4914chgsFileForAlpha-sw -- Scott Wallace -- 4 July 2002<br>
Adaptation to make the new filelist feature in Hunter Kelly's update
4908changesFileBrowsing available in the 3.3a registering file-list.
NOT to be retrofitted to 3.2."</font></div>
