This release introduces many bugfixes, most of them backported from the
development versions. It also runs under Windows, and introduces
several minor features.
The release will shortly be available from:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/smalltalk/smalltalk-2.3.6.tar.gz
The changes are as follows:
* Added #% as a shortcut for CharacterArray>>#bindWithArguments:.
* Added #allButFirst, #allButFirst:, #allButLast, #allButLast:, #atAll:,
#removeAllSuchThat: to Collection.
* Added #join to SequenceableCollection.
* Added symbolic link creation to File.
* A race condition was fixed where a file handler was resurrected and
another object inside it had already been finalized.
* Pipe FileStreams use OS pipes or socketpairs instead of a pseudo-tty.
* Fixed bitrot in the debugger.
* Fixed bug where ~= was computed incorrectly as = (e.g. 3 ~= 3.0e).
* Fixed bug with growing of the Undeclared dictionary.
* Fixed many minor bugs.
* Fixed GC bug that could cause crashes if two GCs happened at
particularly unlucky spots.
* Fixes to File and Directory for Windows.
* Fixes to MIME message parsing, UTF-7 encoding and XPath.
* VariableBinding objects were made read-only when used as literals.
Have fun and report bugs!
