CincomSmalltalkWiki: VW System Changes scripts

It is often useful to know what changed between versions of VisualWorks. If you have published the VW base into your Store repository, this is pretty simple; you can simply publish the new versions and calculate differences. If you have not published base, this methodology using the ChangeList will work nicely:

Open a ChangeList
Read Sources from the visual.sou file for the version you would like to check against. Also read in the .pst (parcel source) files for all parcels you would like to compare.
On the Remove... menu, select Same Code as System and Same Source as System.
On the Forget... menu, select Forget All Marked.

Now, you should have all the major changes between the systems captured. The following scripts will produce some simple HTML files reporting on the differences:
