This is because 1.4 don't have those methods, while 2.0. has (added by Camillo).. and so, currently , NB can either work on both, by making 2.0 image dirty or work only in 2.0, and fail to work in 1.4 because of "missing" methods. I am not very good in metacello-fu to write a confing, which will select various set of stuff to load depending on image version. So, if someone can help, i would appreciate that. I can move those methods into NB-pharo-1.4 package.. > Will NativeBoost be > more closely integrated with the kernel in the near future? > depends on what you putting into "kernel". if it is "a basic functionality, which is absolutely required to do anything else", then no, it will be never part of a kernel. if it is " a set of functionality, ready to use for most common/daily tasks" , then yes it should be part of such kernel.. > BTW, we need to integrate > http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=7062 before any update that > will move methods between packages. > > Cheers, > -- Pavel -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
