Hi list, I figured I'd explain my commit here, since I don't know how you handle your issue tracker.
While I was loading some code in my image (Universes iirc), I got a lot of warnings pop up, about Url>>#toText being deprecated. After taking a look at it, I saw that the deprecation comment recommended using instead Url>>#asText. Which I tried, but it broke most of the SUnits and also the expected behaviour. Looking at the code, I saw that Url>>#toText simply did ^self asString, when Url>>#asText does ^self asString asText. The semantic leap between Text and String is too big (imo) to force that change on users. I thought it would be better to replace the deprecation comment to recommend replacing the obsolote Url>>#toText by Url>>#asString (which is what this method actually does). I would rather have removed the method, since it has been marked for obsolete for more than 3 years now! But I don't know what the approach is to deleting methods, and how to communicate to people that this isn't a missing method but an intentional removal. I hope this helps understand this version. Cheers, Yann
