Spoon 2 alpha 10, promoted from "next" to "current"

Hi--

     I've released Spoon 2 alpha 10. This is now the current release (as
opposed to "next").

     http://netjam.org/spoon/releases/current

     This release adds a fileout of changes to the Squeak virtual
machine simulator, for running the Spoon memory in simulation. If the
Spoon system ever goes south, you can re-run under simulation to see
what's going on.

     My test for this release was running a remote system browser in a
Squeak 3.9 system, browsing a class in the Spoon memory which was
running in simulation on another Squeak 3.9 system.


     thanks again,

-C

     Hurray, you're up to what should have been bug #1! :)

     I'm working on that now. What's happening (and what will probably
be the explanation for 90% of Spoon bugs from now on) is that the system
is trying to swap in a method and failing (and trying to report the
failure using still other methods it doesn't have, which sends it into a
loop). I suppose it could just give up and make some distinctive sound
instead (it has no code for interacting with the filesystem at the moment).

     The 8080 stuff is just a typo (it should be 8090). But don't just
try to visit those links at 8090, I've changed the command codes since I
wrote that code a year ago. :)


     thanks for trying it out!
