Limbo, again!
3.10.2 is released.
4.0 is on the horizon (and behind schedule).
3.11 or 3.10.3 is where?
The reason I complain is that currently
there are fixes available to vexing problems with 3.10.2
(fonts stabilitity, FFI installability).
But no easy way for users to get the benifit of them.
( I consider loading the patches individually into the images
not to be particularly easy).
Mantis reports:
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7140
0007140: Loading FFI renders sockets non-functional.
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6980
0006980: Loading FFI kernel makes NetNameResolver unresponsive
The fact this now has a duplicate indicates how much the fix is
needed.
0006577: In sq 7170 loaded projects get unexpected font changes
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6577
I've written a dozen emails about this.
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-June/129332.html
[squeak-dev] 3.10.2-rc is missing TTCFont registry fixes
M6577FontRegFix-wiz.2.cs
I'd rather spend my time on newer bugs.
So, Randal, if you and the rest of the board
can solve the harvesting problem or
even improve the current state of affairs.
You would have my gratitude.
My question for the board, (particularly in the person of Randal )
is how do we move forward NOW?
Yours in service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace
