CHANGELOG
--------------------

        0001613: [ENH] truncatedChanges-ls
        Date: 4 September 2003
        Author: Lex Spoon

        Handle truncated changes files more gracefully. The problem actually
        can happen, and has been observed at Georgia Tech, e.g. if someone
        downloads a file but does not complete the download. The current
        behavior is that pink debuggers pop up; this is extremely confusing for
        new users when it happens in places like the Browser.

        The solution in this changeset is to fall back on the decompiler. A
        more thorough solution should probably trigger a systematic  
invalidation
        of all source pointers past the end of the changes file, because as  
time
        goes on the changes file will eventually grow large enough to cover the
        lost code and the routine will start returning random method code for
        the invalid source pointers.

        0001354: MIDI port name is garbled in selection dialog
        Change Set: AddTransMIDIPort
        Date: 31 May 2005
        Author: Tooru Nosse
       
        fix for query of MIDI portName with SJIS name
        enable translation for midi port selection

        Change Set: dupAllCtrlAltKeysPref-dew
        Date: 13 December 2004
        Author: Doug Way

        Adds a new preference duplicateAllCtrlAndAltkeys to duplicate all  
Ctrl and Alt modifier key
        commands, which causes all Ctrl key commands to behave the same as  
Alt-key commands.
        The original Ctrl (a.k.a. 'shift') key commands are still available  
via Ctrl-Shift and Alt-Shift.

        This differs from the existing ctrlAlt prefs which only duplicate/
swap the eight editing keys.
        Also includes code to prevent these other two conflicting prefs from  
being activated at the
        same time.

        The three related prefs (swapCtrlAndAltKeys, duplicateCtrlAndAltKeys,
        duplicateAllCtrlAndAltKeys) should really be made into a radio  
button preferences set
        sometime in the future (like the Halo look preferences), since only  
one can be turned on at
        a time. This would eliminate the need for the #changed methods.

        See 'modifier' discussion on squeak-dev from 12/3/2004 for more  
details on why this was provided.

Hi Marcus,

attached is a tiny utility class I use to writes a log of all the  
version comments between two MCConfigurations. Maybe you can use it  
to more easily create that changes list.

If someone else finds this useful (and has tested it, please), I  
could add something like this to MCConfiguration itself.

What I'd really like for for MCConfigurations is timestamps and
perhaps a comment too (eventually the full MC metainformation
including UUID an author).
Also a way to store the username and passwort for http repositories would help.

Cheers
