Well, Squeak Inbox Talk displayed dates in the wrong timezone since then until I noticed, but I have fixed that now. :-) What I want to say with that is, I would not assume that everyone who detects a bug or a breaking change will report it to the mailing list. I think (at least I hope?) that there is a notable part of the community that does not actively engage on the mailing list. Maybe someone also will update a package five years from now from Squeak 6.0 to Squeak 7.0 and stumble about that breaking change. But as mentioned earlier, I think that a simple entry in the release notes will be fine.

Best,
Christoph

Let's not over-engineer this. I'm the person who was worried about
potentially breaking some external packages with the change in
Chronology-Core-dtl. But it turned out to be a non-issue, nothing
got broken and nobody had any problems with it at all.

So it was just me being worried about something that was not a
problem. We don't need to engineer a solution for my excessive
worrying, I'll try to just stop doing that :-)
