Thanks for the advice about Spec2. I was keen to try Class-diff out, so I fired up Pharo, followed the installation instructions with no problems, and then tried the example. The example got a run-time error, and I expect that it's because the Pharo release I fired up was Pharo 9.
Which release(s) of Pharo is Class-diff intended to work with?
