<div>I have appreciated having the V3 image but this is only for

<br>
The subject says it all.<br>
<br>
I want to simplify some code in the image by unifying
Character and UnicodeCodePoint. But this can not be done for
the old v3 image format, as it can't handle immediate
Characters and is therefore limited to 256 distict Characters.
Additionally, OpenSmalltalk has shifted to Spur only quite
some time ago, as Squeak and Pharo have also done.<br>
<br>
So, I'm planning on removing the v3 image from the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev"
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev</a>
repo soon. If anybody has some special need for v3 images,
let's discuss them.<br>
<br>
On an unrelated topic, the new directory structure for <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis6-2"
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis6-2</a>
will also be used for <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev"
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev</a>.
If your specific workflow depends on the current directory
structure, you may need to adapt it. Please take a look at
6.2, and see how it could affect you.<br>
<br>
These changes allow either for simplification of code, or to
improve the experience, especially for newcomers and casual
users. I believe they are worth the possible nuisances.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Thanks Folks.<br>
<br>
I'm just back from vacations. I have already pushed the changes to
unify UnicodeCodePoint and Character into a single, unicode capable,
immediate, Character class.<br>
<br>
Shortly I'll remove the v3 image, and will also start modifying the
folder structure to be more like Stable Cuis 6.2, as no negative
feedback appeared about that.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
