[Pharo6] Wanted: Human Readable ChangeLog

Hi,

We have the complete list of changes here:

https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/filters/?fClosedBugs=true&fGlobal=true&fOpenBugs=false&ixFixFor=22&ixPerson=46&ixPriority=6&priorityRange=-1&sColumns=Category-Favorite-Case-TitleComment-Status-Priority-LastUpdated&sSorts=Priority

all 1386 closed issues with MileStone Pharo6.

For the release announcement, it would be nice to have a shorter, more digestible list.

I think we need 2 kind:

1) some 5-8 “most important” ones

2) a list of maybe 20 issues that are interesting

I think the easiest is to do it together.. so if you have points for the 2 kinds of changes, I would be interested.

I will then create one merged version of everything people send me (or to the list).

Ok. Here is my memory list:

- MessageBrowser with filter

- Epicea for code changes

- haltOnce is active by default per method. It not requires global turning on. 

- haltOnce is managed from source code area in Nautilus

- execution counter for message nodes in source code area in Nautilus

- anObject asMethodConst to cache expressions dynamically.

- debugger temp names mapping is fixed

- improved debugger title for DNU

- ephemeron support

- more reliable interruption by cmd+.

- cmd+r in Nautilus supports any nodes: message rename, inst var rename, class rename and etc.

- fast inspector based on FastTable

- fast debugger based on FastTable

- workspace variables are visible from debugger

- inheritable process specific variables

- new process specific variable CurrentExecutionEnvironment with values: DefaultExecutionEnvironment by default and TestExecutionEnvironment during test run

- SUnit improvements: time limit for tests, preventing "forked debuggers".
