Herby then answers
'The blame goes to amber not being properly released.'

Here https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber-examples/pull/27#issuecomment-26316272
and is a description of a complete test case which creates

a version 0.12 pre-release "out of the box" experience.

Examples have been updated by Tom Rake.

Maybe some other people want to go for a test drive!

Regards
Hannes

Actually the comment from Herby was about using development code from Git master in contrast to using a released version, not about unproper releases.

The point is that if you are using a development branch for tinkering around it is usually expected that you face issues.

People are welcome to use the latest development branch and report issues they find.

But if you just want to tinker around they should stick with a released version (which might also have issues bit hopefully minor ones).

Putting this aside, the guide you posted on the issue tracker is really nice for newcomers.

Thanks a lot for it.

We will adjust the instructions on the website and in the README's before the release.

Best,

Manfred
