Re: [Pharo-project] Fuel serialzing not truncating files

[Martin Dias]

Hi Norbert,

Thank you, it was wrong. We will include your fix will in next version.

After releasing Fuel 1.7, we have moved from squeaksource to
http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Fuel.html, so the fix is there.

We always appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Martín
