Hi all -- This is just a small heads-up, that we have a show-stopper for the next release, which is the abscence of BrokenPromise, needed by our own Git Browser for Squeak's git support. https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/BHBVRXIXUFGXDLIAFGLBBZ2LCX4OKYGD/ As we value backwards compatibility, we should figure out a way to have a BrokenPromise, at least in "deprecation mode". Any volunteers?
