Grease 1.3 Changelog

Grease 1.3 is the basis for Seaside 3.3

Features

• Introduce a new GRDynamicVariable which allows for platform specific implementations. On common dialects the implementation should no longer use exceptions/notifications.
• Add a #thisContext method to GRPlatform for accessing the current execution context even on dialects that do not have a thisContext variable like GemStone/S or VASt.

Porters

• You need to provide a GRDynamicVariable class in the platform specific package. Ideally this is a dynamic variable or process/thread local variable that does not rely on exceptions/notifications.
• You need to provide a GRDialectPlatform >> #thisContext method. If your dialect has a thisContext variable the implementation is a simple as ^ thisContext sender.
