Enjoy the (relative) stability

2763moreLayers-raa

2764hideFlaps-raa -- Bob Arning -- 3 October 2000
- fix one-viewer-at-a-time behavior when viewer flaps are in a pasteup that is not the world"

2765ArrowTweaks2-di -- Dan Ingalls -- 3 October 2000
A slightly simpler mechanism, a bit more documentation, and a program interface for the specification of custom arrows."

2766geeBooks-raa -- Bob Arning -- 3 October 2000
- add red menu command to make a book morph from a GeeMail. Currently the book is read-only, but, hopefully, live editing will not be too far away"

2767paneResize-tk -- Ted Kaehler -- 3 October 2000
Fix annoying bug that kept a pane resizing in a window after you let up on the mouse button.  Caused by race contition -- if mouse button went up just before entering Rectangle>>newRectFrom:, it resizes with the button up.  newRectFrom: is too general because it tries to handle both mouseUp and mouseDown dragging.
And fix a bug in how code versions are displayed in Active Essays."

2768moreFences-raa -- Bob Arning -- 4 October 2000
- add a per-playfield option for fence enabling. The global preference remains as a default for playfields without an explicit definition."

2769wordyFences-raa -- Bob Arning -- 4 October 2000
- duplicate wording in help text removed and I have had my coffee - maybe I need another cup"

2770trashDetails-sw -- Scott Wallace -- 4 October 2000
Changes the dismiss button at the top-left corner of an open trash can to the tan O rather than the pink X, to make it uniform with other innocuous dismissers these days.  To see the new effect on a system that already has an active TrashCan, you'll need to empty the trash once.  (Thanks to John Steinmetz for suggesting).
Also, makes the balloon help on the pink-x deletion handle in the object halo be sensitive to whether the trash-preserving preference is in effect or not."

2771ProjStore2-tk -- Ted Kaehler -- 4 October 2000
Controllable ImageSegment Storage (CISS) for storing projects on the disk.
CISS uses a SmartRefStream to enumerate the objects.  It puts an ImageSegment on the disk.  Not optimized for speed yet.  The dreaded message 'Morphs pointed from the outside' has been removed from the system.  
	Currently only hooked up for Projects.  Individual morphs are stored the old way.
The switch to turn it off again is in (Project exportSegmentWithCatagories: catList classes: classList fileName: aFileName directory: aDirectory).  Just change false to true in the middle of the method.

2772ProjStore3-tk -- Ted Kaehler -- 4 October 2000
Fixes bugs in Controllable ImageSegment Storage (CISS):
	CompiledMethods can now be read from the disk in DataStreams.  Defines a new type for DataStream to do it.
	Stop doing the double write of Scripts stored in class instance variables.  Was actually causing a bug in some cases, and taking lots of space.
	Fixes a bug in the way that Active Essays show the dates of their old versions."

2773MacVMUpdates2-9-3JMM -- johnmci at smalltalkconsulting.com -- 4 October 2000
Changes for the 2.9.3 Mac source code and common headers"
