Changes to Trunk (http://source.squeak.org/trunk.html) in the last 24 hours:

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2015-June/008761.html

Name: Tools-eem.626
Ancestors: Tools-mt.625

Upgrade MessageSet class>>parse:toClassAndSelector:
to allow one to construct text links in modern syntax, e.g.
BitBlt class>>#subPixelRenderColorFonts

=============================================

Name: ReleaseBuilder-mt.125
Ancestors: ReleaseBuilder-cmm.124

Restore setting the background in release builder's #setPreferences46 so that our build server produces trunk images with correct preferences again. #prepareNewBuild: is agnostic to the current release version.

Note: We should find out why #prepareNewBuild: requires another try to set the background and where that background gets overridden. It is not good to put version-specific code into a version-agnostic method.

Rewrite Preferences to eliminate the AccessProtect.
Use a copy, update copy, assign scheme to update
the preferences dictionary atomically.

Change Preferences access method compilation to
use Object>>#value to eliminate a block creation.

Change Preference initialization to eliminate the
isKindOf: Symbol.

This is step 1.  Given SystemPreferences it is clear
that the preferences dictionary should be stored in
a class inst var, so that SystemPreferences and
Preferences can share methods but access different
dictionaries.  The dictionaryOfProferences[:] accessors
are dubious as they break encapsulatiopn.  For example,
the reportPreferences: method, which is the only external
access, could insateaqd be moved into Preferences class.

- Iterate over pragmas once per method instead of once per pragma in Preferences class>>prefEvent:.
- There's no need to copy preferencesDictionary in Preferences class>>storePreferencesIn:, because it's a read-only data structure.
- Ensure the durability of the changes of preferencesDictionary in Preferences class>>atomicUpdatePreferences: by checking for changes before overwriting it.

=============================================

Name: System-eem.749
Ancestors: System-ul.748

Revert storePreferencesIn: to work with a copy,
which accords with the old code.  Go for brevity
in prefEvent:.

=============================================

Name: Network-cmm.161

Remove the methods overridden by WebClient, since that has now been folded into base Squeak.
