Anyone interested on helping port SUnit 3.2
TimM
Ross recently asked me if I could help port the upgrade of SUnit to 3.2
(I believe dolphin is at 3.1 but not sure if that's a true version). Is
anyone interested in running with this? Niall has supplied me some
fileouts and diffs (see his description below) so it should be quite
easy to do (and it would be a shame not to stay up to date). Drop a
reply and I can send them on.
As an aside, while I love the UI of Dolphin ( and continue to show other
Smalltalkers how both cool and efficient it is) the lack of Monticello
support and the fact I now mainly use a Mac and Linux servers means that
I don't fire it up as often as I used to. I'm pleased to see contuned
pledge support for Dolphin and maybe in the future something might mean
that i'm more in a position to rejoin you guys more frequently.

Hopefully, this is all you need and you can just file these into
Dolphin, editing them to deal with any issues in the format, then
compare to the prior latest Dolphin SUnit (3.1, I would assume).
2) File-outs of SUnit 3.1 and SunitTests 3.1 in Dolphin 4.0 .pac format,
so that you can compare the start point with the current latest SUnit in
Dolphin. All dialects should be code identical in these two packages so
there should be no differences unless the current Dolphin is older than
3.1. However this will help you detect any essential Dolphin-oriented
changes should there be any; hopefully there are none.
(The other packages, SUnitPreload and SUnitUI, are unchanged between 31
and 32.)
In SUnit 3.2, a few methods were moved to 'deprecated' protocol and
almost all protocols were trivially renamed to VW-oriented style from
the VA-oriented style they had in 3.1 - Dolphin may well have made the
protocols suit its style. Except for these trivia, all the changes are
as explained in my talk which you can download from the ESUG website.

I take it no-one is interested then? I'll let Niall know (and
potentially I may get some time to have a go, although not in the near
future). If it crops up, pong either of us.
