Gemstone/S 3.4.0 - Some problems - where to report ?

Hallo Dale,

I found two changes/problems with 3.4.0:

a) Syntax Checker (which seems to be ok)

#('Hallo ','World') has been accepted by 3.3.6, but not under 3.4.0

This is not critical, because it delivered  a three item array under 3.3.6 (which I did not expected - I thought it makes a string concatenation)

b) Some packages could not be loaded any more:

Hallo Dale,

This list is a fine place for problem reports. You are using an alhpa version of 3.4 and it might be a good idea to pass along an alpha version of the release notes as well, since I imagine that your question a) would be explained in more detail ...

As Mariano points out, the XML-Writer-Core issue is possibly a Monticello/StHub related error, but if you pass along the expression/command/project that you are loading when you hit this error, I can test it out locally and if it turns out to be a 3.4-related issue I can take steps to fix the problem
