Squeak-dev image is an image made for squeak developers.


*Important notice:* This version is based on Squeak 3.10 7130.

This version contains a lot of new and exciting features:

- OmniBrowser (OB) finally selects the --All-- method category per default
- icons and colors are now possible on each node
- the mercury panel (input field on top of all OB browsers) is now
really usable: there is a balloon with documentation, the browser
which appears is a specific browser with lots of cool features,
dedicated to searches. For example, you can for OB*Browser to open a
search browser on all classes whose names match OB*Browser.
- the sender and implementor browsers display messages that are not
sender or implementor anymore "struck out"
- "Find method wildcard" is now available in OB too
- A context menu on the packages now let you select amongst recently
browsed classes
- OB is more portable (a GemStone port is being developed)
- Under the hood massive changes
- Lots of bug fixes and code cleaning
- eCompletion does not consider < to be a smart character anymore

I would like to thank the following people for their recent and
impressive work on the OmniBrowser framework (alphabetically):

Cédrick Béler
Colin Putney
Duncan Mak
David Mitchell
David Röthlisberger
Piers Cawley

(I hope I do not forget anyone)

More features will soon be available for OmniBrowser :

- No more package categories on the first pane: now, it will contain
Monticello packages and you will be able to publish, load, merge
directly from OB.
- UML diagrams automatically generated for your code
- ...
