what we should pay attention (to be verified) is that igor told me that he does not understand why the latest code of the vm published by eliot does not include some fixes he did for 1.2. May be the code was never integrated. In addition the latest vm produced by eliot does not include a long list of fixes made by igor and mariano. Igor asked in the vm mailing-list what will happen to his changes and there were no reaction so far.
So we should pay attention that using the latest vm from eliot may also break our system. We should also think about the fact that may be we will have to burn igor's time to merge vm fixes when other people don't do it. I asked igor to continue to work on the windows build because we want to run regression tests at the VM level. We should be able to trace vm changes and control the impact they have on us and not run after different versions and releases. To have a process in a sense. Stef yeah.. harmonization, it would be good, Eliot if you take a look of changes made in VMMaker-oscog-MarianoMartinezPeck.66 and integrate them, so we will use common version. They have a common ancestor - VMMaker-oscog.54 Without this all of the following work will be lost: Name: VMMaker-oscog-IgorStasenko.54 Author: IgorStasenko Time: 23 March 2011, 5:30:42 pm UUID: c98a0b6c-7f68-4af7-9012-85d3dfdf29ae Ancestors: VMMaker-oscog-IgorStasenko.53 - added disabling module loading support Name: VMMaker-oscog.dtl.56 Author: dtl Time: 4 April 2011, 10:06:00.292 pm UUID: c1d30608-00e8-53b7-209a-34f7a46c1508 Ancestors: VMMaker-IgorStasenko.55 Add tests from VMMaker trunk to document various issues and verify presence of primitives.

The image assumes a value for this constant that is assumed to correspond to the actual value used in the VM. This primitive permits the VM to report the actual value being used. Add primitiveImageFormatVersion, an optional named primitive answering the image format number of the current image. This is the value stored in the first word of an image file header when the image is saved, and possibly modified on image load if the VM adds or removes capabilities for the running image. This primitive was added to VMMaker trunk in VMMaker-dtl.169.

Name: VMMaker-oscog-dtl.60 These changes are methods from the main VMM branch for which <#var:#type:> declarations have been formatted with proper spacing. By updating these in the oscog branch, all of these methods are identical in both branches. All changes are cosmetic (no functional changes to the methods).

This change was already integrated in the main trunk of VMMaker but since Eliot forked VMMaker-oscog before that, it was not there. It doesn't affect Squeak -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
