Launcher and Pharo 6.1

Administrator

Is it safe to replace the Launcher VM with the one required for Pharo 6.1? I.e. is that VM backward compatible with a Pharo 6.0 image?

Cheers,
Sean

In general, Squeak/Pharo VMs are backwards compatible at least within a major version.

Hi,

Yes as Eliot said, it is safe. 6.1 just includes latest bug fixes from Eliot + a new version of libgit2

Great. Thanks, guys. I downloaded a new vm via `curl get.pharo.org/vm61 | bash` and it seems to be working fine with 6.0 images.

Cheers,
Sean
