I've counted half a dozen reports of people burnt by it and stability concerns can only discourage more people from testing Pharo 6 beta. The answer ever time has been to use vmLatest, so why not someone just log onto the files server and manually rename the current "-latest" to "-stable". Don't take time to determine which "latest" is most stable. Any seems a better choice than the VM with *known* compactor bug. We need a stable-Pre-Release-VM for final beta testing. cheers -ben > > Best, > > > On Sun, Apr 30, 2017 at 1:10 PM, Oleks <olk.zayt...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> The same happened to me about a week ago.
