Current summary of proposed 3.4b fixes

After getting everyone's feedback on the previous thread, here's my 
current summary of the fixes we should consider for 3.4.  This doesn't 
mean that all the other submissions will get completely dropped, of 
course... a bunch of them will probably go into 3.5alpha.

Daniel suggested a schedule of pushing these (or whichever ones we agree 
on) out into the external stream by the 15th or so, and then going to 
gamma on the ~22nd, and then final at the end of the year.  So, we're 
keeping this list relatively small, and we should decide on these in the 
next couple of days.

1. Recommend for 3.4beta:
----------------------------------------------

[FIX] WeakKeyAssn-raok (29 November 2002) * [email protected] (29 
November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2842.html
- Seems like a very straightforward fix to an obvious bug.

[FIX] Translation to iso-8859-1 encoding in Scamper (16 November 2002) * 
Boris Gaertner (16 November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2770.html
- It sounds like this one has been tested pretty well.  With this fix, 
if I look at 
http://map2.squeakfoundation.org/sm/package/4f0b9db6-8add-43aa-8d6b-53e6a0ea8442 
in Scamper, Göran's name now shows up correctly.  (Daniel commented on 
this being somewhat out of scope, perhaps because Scamper will be pushed 
out into a package soon.  But it's still in the image right now, so I'd 
say it's in scope, and it's a noticeable bug.)

[FIX] UUID-Fix-CdG (19 November 2002) * [email protected] (19 November 
2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2786.html
- Discussed in Goran's post.  It sounds like there is some agreement 
that we should go with this simple fix for now, and fix Random sometime 
in the future, since that is much more involved.  (Did anyone else 
besides Cees have a chance to test this a bit?)


2. Probably recommend for 3.4beta, but could use some final feedback:
----------------------------------------------

[FIX] DNSerror-ls (3 November 2002) * Lex Spoon (3 November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2735.html
- Goran, were you able to test this?  (Ned said that Michael Rueger is 
already working on the httpGet:* problems for his reworking of this 
stuff for 3.5, so we don't need to do more beyond this simple fix for 
3.4 right now.)

[FIX][3.2][3.4a] ArchiveFixes2-nk (12 November 2002) * Ned Konz (12 
November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2748.html
[FIX] RelativeZipExtractFix-nk (13 December 2002) * [email protected] 
(13 December 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2909.html
- I've tested these and given feedback to Ned.  These changesets fix 
some but not all problems with the Archive Viewer.  But they definitely 
fix certain problems, so I think they could probably go in.  We may not 
be able to fix all problems in time for 3.4, we'll see. (say, by the 
15th or so.)

[FIX] WeakMessageSend2-nk-rw (8 December 2002) * Ned Konz (8 December 
2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2891.html
- Was there any agreement that this change is safe enough for 3.4?  It 
seems to fix a few problems with the current when:send:to: stuff.
