Edgar

Sorry, I forgot to point out that for me for the time being it is very
fine. In particular as you offered to do another alpha release on the
first weekend of July.

So no action needed as far as I'm concerned, I am not going to look
into the method history in the upcoming time.

What I want to do is loading tests with Squeak4.3alpha-11476.zip.

Regards
--Hannes
