These are the two planned fixes for 3.5.  Give them a test if either of these
fixes is something you've been waiting for.

-------------------

5172MetaClassBuilderFix-ar -- Andreas Raab -- 27 February 2003
This change set fixes a rather obscure bug with reshaping the entire class
hierarchy from ClassBuilder. The problem was introduced by accidentally
breaking the superclass/subclass invariant. The CS fixes this problem, by
doing so actually removes some code and documents the critical invariants
(both by putting comments into the methods affected and by making those
methods private which temporarily break the crucial invariants).
The class comment has been extended to document the fundamental assumption
that ClassBuilder needs access to ALL of the subclasses no matter where no
matter how they are created.

5173LateSqueaklandFixes-nk -- Ned Konz -- 12 March 2003
This contains two important fixes from the Squeakland update stream that fix
project saving and loading problems in the released 3.4 image. Both fixes are
by Andreas Raab.
These fixes are the contents of these change sets:
0143fixFormAlpha-ar.cs (23 Sept. 2002)
0144gifFix.cs (9 December 2002)
Fixes a problem with certain gifs in external resources.
