I concluded that trying to run Fuel-1.8 in Pharo-2.0 was a pointless
exercise. I needed to migrate to 1.8.x or 1.9. So I decided to migrate
to 1.9 in my current Pharo-1.4 based image. This time, I've captured the
migration in classes, which was not too hard (last migration I just ran
code in workspaces).
I tried to write a test case for the migration, but this failed
strangely. When I run:
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFuel) project version: '1.9') load:
'Core'
from a workspace it works. But when it is run through a TestCase, it
fails to load the newer version on top of the older version, and it
fails silently - I think TestCase, Metacello, Gofer or Monticello is
swallowing an exception. I tried having the test case return
FLMaterializer via "Smalltalk at: #FLMaterializer" (and same for
FLSerializer), but it made no difference. The test case was eventually
supposed to use #forkHeadlessSqueakAndDo: to run, but I've given up on
the test for now.
The other oddity I noted was that
FLMaterializer/FLSerializer>>currentVersion answers integers like: 18,
181, 182, 19. So, if there are ever over 100 format versions of Fuel,
then there will be some confusion. This came up when I briefly
considered altering the version check to allow 1.8.2 to load a 1.8
version Fuel file.

Hi Yanni,
Could you migrate all your objects to the new format?
Best regards,

I'm sorry but AFAIK you won't be able to materialize in 1.8.x the files
you serialized with 1.8. Maybe Max has some trick to do it?
I got an exception:
FLBadVersion: Materialization error. Unexpected stream version 18 where
it should be 182.
I disabled the version check, and things loaded fine. But, I've yet to find
a saved file with a Date or DateAndTime instance.
