ChangeLog
=========

21 June 2017:
-------------

*    Succeed!!
   
    I made [iceberg](http://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg) to work on 64bits!
   
    Now, I need to promote a new VM as stable (and probably backported it to Pharo 6.0)
   
*    After 1.5 days still working on 64bits version of [iceberg](http://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg) and that
    annoying malloc crash. Last idea was the believing something is wrong with sizes and marshallings so I
    verified all:
   
    * I reviewed all structures and callbacks.
    * I took a look to each function call.
   
    I got some differences that needed to be fixed and perticularly a lot of +size_t+ that were wrongly
    mapped as +FFIUInt32+ and I have some movement: it is not crashing anymore on malloc (which is a
    relief), but is still crashing someplace later.
   
    I'm now reviewing that.
   

19 June 2017:
-------------

*    I spent the full day trying to get [iceberg](http://github.com/pharo-vcs-iceberg) to work on 64bits.
   
    Is almost working... if it wouldn't be because I'm having a random crash while trying to +malloc+
    something random.
   
    We'll see tomorrow.
   

cheers!
Esteban
