Spec v0.5
==========

New Inspector is now default in Pharo!

- Inspector Introduces concept of "inspection concept" which allows to configure how the presentation will be show (and if it will be shown). For now it does not do much, but potential is huge.
- Inspector uses SpMillerPaginatorPresenter.
- Inspector uses popover to allow command expansion in the toolbar (otherwise is too big).
- Inspector panes are closeable now.
- Inspector, Playground now understand <meta+g> command
- Playground pages now can "open in new page".
- Activation in single click (which triggers column expansion) is now default for inspections (it was double click, but it felt weird).
- Added several inspections (extensions to objects) to match what we had before.
- Most commands now delegate its behavior to their contexts to allow better handling of them.
- Introduce "icon providers" to handle how icons are provided in applications.
- Refactor the way icons are used in StPharoApplication to allow switching of icon sets and the gradual transition from current naming to a better, semantic way of name icons.
- Fixes #128
- Fixes pharo-project/pharo#7700
- Fixes #123
- Several bugfixes.


Small Speed Improvements
========
Some tiny improvements, but the morph related code (like #hasDropShadow) is called in the main rendering loop.

- optimize-hasDropShadow #7917
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7917
       
- Cleanup code for Morph properties #7903
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7903
       
- Do not allocate a block when executing #isInstalled #7936
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7936
       

Fixes
=====

- Fix #7898 #7918
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7918
               
- Fix infinite recursion upon send of not-understood message to nil #7902
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7902

- [fix] fixes selector extraction when asking for it at the first chara… #7881
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7881
               

Improvements / New Features
===========================

- Improve-isHaltNode #7919
        It was detecting all sends to Halt, now it filters for selectors in the right category there.
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7919
       
- Implementing hasProperty in Behavior and RPackage. #7875
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7875
       
- Add ExternalAddress class>>#allocate:bytesDuring: #7727
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7727
       
- No "inconsistent method classification" for methods in deprecated method category #7868
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7868


Cleaning unused Variables
=========================
After all vars are cleaned, we will add a ReleaseTest so this can never happen again.

- Remove unused ivars from HeuristicCompletion packages #7943
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7943

- Care on unreferenced variables in OpalCompiler packages #7944
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7944

- Remove unused environment ivar from BuilderManifestTest #7940
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7940
       
- Removed unused instance variable traitDefinition in CDTraitParserTest #7886
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7886
       

Halt Cleanups
=============

There should be no #halt (and similar) sends in the code, Iif it is used for testing, this should be tagged.
The goal then is to add a ReleaseTest to make sure the code stays clean.
This makes the "Browse Breakpoints” feature more usable, too

- tag more tests with <haltOrBreakpointForTesting> #7926
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7926
       
- 7927-halt-left-in-OmBlockrefreshIfNeededStartingAtsince #7931
        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7931


Cleanups: remove Code
======================

        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7891

- Remove DeprecatedFileStream package #7885

        https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/7873

Cleanups
========
And again lots of small cleanups… think about them not as how important one of them is.
