Re: [ANN] Magma 1.0 release 44

Thanks we will have a look.
Note that Installer is not available from ScriptLoader (ScriptLoader is not a public class and nobody should use it)
Either use gofer which is the default loader or install installer manually.

BTW, I am not so aware of these problems.  Basic networking seems to
be so badly broken I am not even able to connect a socket, so I've got
to think any networking application, including even Seaside, would be
broken.  I'm surprised that such a breakage would be allowed to
persist in Pharo for so long.  Do you know what is going on and what
the plan is?
