Oh, and I forgot one thing:

    3/- EXTERNAL_PLUGINS = ADPCMCodecPlugin Squeak3D BMPReadWriterPlugin B2DPlugin BitBltPlugin
DSAPrims ZipPlugin FFTPlugin FloatArrayPlugin FontPlugin GeniePlugin IntegerPokerPlugin
JPEGReadWriter2Plugin JPEGReaderPlugin Klatt LargeIntegers Matrix2x3Plugin MiscPrimitivePlugin
Mpeg3Plugin RePlugin SoundCodecPrims StarSqueakPlugin SurfacePlugin SqueakFFIPrims

Actually two things:

    4/- INTERNAL_PLUGINS = AsynchFilePlugin B3DAcceleratorPlugin DropPlugin FilePlugin
JoystickTabletPlugin MIDIPlugin SecurityPlugin SerialPlugin SocketPlugin SoundPlugin
SoundGenerationPlugin UUIDPlugin

Really three things:

    5/- 'UUIDPlugin' unfortunately cannot enjoy the freedom of an external plugin just because of:

          int MakeUUID(char *location) {
                if(CoCreateGuid((GUID*)location) == S_OK) return 1;
                primitiveFail();        // interpreterProxy->primitiveFail();     ???
              return 0;
          }

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.

> The new VM contains the following changes:
> * A preference for enforcing case sensitive in file naming on the VM level.
> This is useful for finding cross-platform file naming problems which
> originate from confusion between lower and upper casing.
> * A fix for a resource leak in the networking code. This resulting in
> Windows using up handles for each created socket and (given enough requests)
> ultimately led to failures when trying to open new sockets.
> * A fix for the two previously unimplemented UDP socket primitives (those
> weren't used but someone may want to have them)
> * A fix disabling the direct input support which was added in 3.4.4 again
> (for various reasons)
> * A goodie specifically for PhiHo ;-) You can now hack
> plugins.int/plugins.ext directly to change which plugins are compiled
> internally vs. externally without using VMMaker (previously sqNamedPrims.h
