Hi All,
those of you using Big Sur will notice that update is broken, MNUs and errors occurring in character code conversion in trying to write to the changes file. This is die to some non-future-proof code written to distinguish Mac OS prior to OS X. The old code asked
('10*' match: Smalltalk osVersion)
which fell flat when confronted with '1100.1', '1101.0' etc.
I've committed fixes, alas the bug won't allow you to update on Big Sur. So if you only have access to Big Sur here is how to get your system to update. The trick here is to save an image with the relevant fixes installed manually and then restart that image to get functional character conversion code that can update. It's a three step dance.
1b. select Changes and in the resulting MCPatchBrowser manually install all changes *except*
JapaneseEnvironment class>>#flapTabTextFor:in:
JapaneseEnvironment class>>#isBreakableAt:in:
1c. save and quit and restart
2. in a workspace evaluate
SourceFiles do: [:ea| ea initializeConverter]
3. update
HTH
