Mac carbon VM goes to 4.2.4beta1U

In order to wrap up some VM fixes that should be pushed into the Squeak 4.x offering I've compiled up a 4.2.4beta1U VM
This will be the last 4.x series of macintosh VMs as the 5.x series gains support.

Someone should run the Sunit and smoke test to ensure the VM is sane.

Follow the macintosh link from http://www.squeakvm.org/index.html

4.2.4b1   We update to VMMaker 168

        Change #versionString from 3.x.x to 4.0.2.
        Fix loading of image segments that are from older, but compatible image versions.
        fix bounds bug in primitiveSoundRecordSamples.
        Add primitiveUtcWithOffset.
        Provide an explicit imageFormatBackwardCompatibilityVersion
        Merge some/*lots* of 64bit fixes

Thanks a lot for the update, John!

Can I ask some Mac folks to try the VM with rc2 and report back on the
status of the following tests:
* AllocationTests
* BitBltTests
* FileStreamTests
With the new VM these should all pass (make sure you remove the
#expectedFailures before trying).

Thanks!

I removed with great violence and extreme prejudice the #expectedFailures from the AllocationTest and BitBltTest classes. And these are the results. All passed.

I update my Squeak4.1-9883-beta.image to Squeak4.1-9902-beta.image, without
troubles.

Drag and drop of projects still do not work.

About old compatible image versions, can't load any of my old projects for
different reasons.

IMHO some warning was needed in the Welcome Window of 4.0 telling people do
not do projects by now and wait to 4.1.
In the long run, we have how convert old projects for 4.1 could load them.

I tested with a 9850 image updated to 9907, with the 4.2.4b1U vm on OSX Leopard.
I didn't do anything special about #expectedFailures.

You all are doing an awesome job.
