Hi David and all!

Quoting David Farber <dfarber at numenor.com>:

First, it was I who released RC1 (and RC2 but Daniel did the ANN on the list for
that one). Not really important though but in short:

Göran: SqueakMap, SqueakMap Browser
Daniel: SM Package Loader
Ned: Very cool extensions and fixes to all of the above

Everything Ned posts on the list will get sucked into the three packages.

And the snippet is as follows and can also be found at Minnow,
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2726   :

ChangeSorter newChangesFromStream:
('http://anakin.bluefish.se:8000/gohu/uploads/11/squeakmap-021026RC2.cs.gz'
asUrl retrieveContents content unzipped readStream) named: 'squeakmap-021026RC2'

But you can also simply download the .cs.gz, decompress it and file it in. It is
equivalent. The entry for SqueakMap is:
http://map2.squeakfoundation.org/sm/package/4f0b9db6-8add-43aa-8d6b-53e6a0ea8442

Note that when SqueakMap files in it will autoinstall SMLoader (the newest
version) using "itself". :-) It is in the postscript of the changeset if you
want to see how it does this.

:-) Currently you need RC2 with SMLoader 0.96+. We tried to do a synchronized
release because I changed the API in SqueakMap so the SMLoader needed to change
too (and the SMBrowser too btw).

Sorry about this confusion.

As described above.

:-) Daniel will have to answer that!
