In light of the recent discussion regarding nil keys in
Dictionaries, I have removed the anti-fixes related to this (including the
#associationsDo: override in WeakKeyIdentityDictionary) from their "System
overrides for ma object serialization" package of Magma.
Magma is back to 100% pure*, making no system changes that have not been
approved for at least 3.9.
[*] I left the 3.9-approved fixes in, however, for <= 3.8 users.
I have also removed all use of Ma*Dictionary's. They were written to fix the
performance bug with #removeKey: for which they are 1000x (or more) faster than
their standard counterparts but are a bit slower for other operations. Magma
now avoids removeKey: altogether, so going back to the standard Dictionary's
you should enjoy a minor performance improvement.
A few more improvements too:
- More robust network error handling for when other end drops unexpectedly.
- Tests now only open transcript in conductor image. Besides being faster,
Squeak was locking up loading a font or something, no time to debug it.
- Fixed possible error when opening partially-written commitPackages file.
Let me know if any questions or issues.
