Sebastion,
The implementation of #charCode is:
charCode
"assuming Unicode"
^(self asciiValue bitAnd: 16r3FFFFF)
which you can patch and then reload the previous version of Squeak...
In general, you should do a backup before loading code, so that
recovering is as simple as restoring from backup (w/o tranlogs) ... on
the Admin menu.
Secondly, when you move to a new version of GLASS (loading the basic
packages), you should sue the Update GLASS menu item ... in the case you
hit, the method #charCode was probably moved from the Squeak package
to the core package ... something that is handled correctly by the
Update GLASS menu item, but which can lead to trouble when you manually
load things.
Finally, you are correct that Date class>>fromDay: is available in a
later version of the Squeak package, so an Update GLASS should get you
to where you want to be.
Oh, don't forget to make a backup before doing the update glass:)
