 From Store? There is Aida 7.6, or download parcels, see
http://www.aidaweb.si/download.html. Also don't forget to load Swazoo
2.1 first http://www.swazoo.org/download.html

Best regards
Janko

I want all the improvements that are in the squeaksource repository,
so that I don't have to find out and fix a few annoying things all over
again.

Example: Load 5.6 into VW, login as admin, click on "Statistics" and
find out that SpDate class does not understand newDay:month:year.

Somebody must have noticed this already ...

Thanks,
s.

Ah, you need hot tea with lemon first :) About those annoying
corrections, well, they are in my image for now, and in my Store, but
this you probaly have too :) But to make a new release, hmm, not enough
"material" yet. Hmm, maybe a patch parcel or something?

Affirmative aacchHOOOO!

You're all so lucky that my screen reliably stops germs from getting
into the uplink (wipes with tissue).

Good night,

I have also found quite a few unresolved symbols caused by AIDA
packages. Some of them are related to undefined Role subclasses, some
are referencing classes provided by Gemstone or Versant (I guess), a
few examples reference a class Progress, which I can't find either.

Resolving these things would make enough material for warrant a version
bump to 5.6.1

getting the tea,
s.

What is the trick to find those unresolved reference in one place in VW?

Well, finding the time is another varant ;)

Launcher: Browser > Inspect > Undeclared (x)  where x is the number of
undeclared symbols, which is basically an Inspector the Namespace
"Undeclared", which you can visit with the RB as well.

In every case, check the references for the symbols, the "offending"
package is mentioned in the bottom right of the Reference Viewer's
status bar.

There are some "trivial" changes, e.g. an undeclared symbol "Janko"
could be a local, which are easy enough to fix.

Adding the missing Role subclasses is already borderline, as I don't
know what else they should do besides returning true for their
isXxxRole method. It looks like either you deleted too much of your
production system or not enough :-)

And "finding the time" is definitely the hardest part of it all!
More thanks to you for keeping publishing updates to AIDA.
