Dear Squeakers,
Today I did squeak -version and I was surprised, that is, almost scared
that 3.10 VM is still in beta:
mivsek@pingo:~> squeak -version
3.10-1 #1 Thu Apr 10 14:52:07 PDT 2008 gcc 4.1.2
Squeak3.10beta of 22 July 2007 [latest update: #7159]
Linux vps2.piumarta.com 2.6.9-023stab044.11-enterprise #1 SMP Sun
Sep
30 12:15:39 MSD 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
default plugin location: /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.10-1/*.so
Well, after a short chat on IRC I learned that a first line holds the
real version, not a second one. But second one is more visible and for
sure I'm not the first one to make such a mistake.
So I propose that the version report is more descriptive, like:
VM version: 3.10-1 #1 Thu Apr 10 14:52:07 PDT 2008 gcc 4.1.2
built for image: Squeak3.10beta of 22 July 2007 [latest update: #7159]
...
In my opinion such small improvement wouldn't costs much but will lower
the possible confusion quite a lot.
Best regards
Janko
