Version Control and new VMs

Hi,


I started to play recently with Squeak and Smalltalk. My impression is
the Squeak and the Seaside Framework are moving targets, very exciting
pieces of code, but if I start a project this week, in the next week
will be available a new VM, or a new image, a new Seaside version,
etc...

Very good, because it means a very productive and creative community.
But if I have a project, and want to migrate to a new image version?
or to a new Seaside version? What is the right/easy way of doing this?
Change sets?

Maybe my question is how to do version control and manage conflicts?
How to migrate to new images?

Thanks,
Fabio

Well, you can easy move your projects, fileOut your objects and fileIn
to the new image target.

Well. Are new images but, as other applications, this new versions
aren't stable. You can use this new images for testing purposes, but i
don't recommend you use the new versions of images, packages until are
oficially stable. aren't oficially stable, but soon.

Use 3.8.1 and migrate your code to 3.9 when stable. Then, when 3.9 is
oficially stable, work over 3.9 and test over 3.10/4

See you.

Please take a look at Monticello.
(World Menu, open MonticelloBrowser)

There's tutorials on the web.

Hello Giuseppe,

That's the old way, you can diff that way too (via FileList) but
Squeaks version control is Monticello.

Especially if you want to work with several people on the same project
it's much easier.

Hello Giuseppe,

GLP> And what about Monticello 2?
dunno, I'm just using MC1 for a few weeks.

Is should scale better, from what I read on squeak dev the people
doing squeak 3.9 wished more performance on bigger projects.

For MCZ up to 600K there are no performance problems in my experience.

Cheers

Monticello 2 is still in Alpha stage. But in my experience, if you're
just developing an application, MC1 is good enough.
