Future Work
Some of the future tasks to take this project forward would be:
- Add support for storing the version history of class comments, as well as changes to the structure of classes themselves. This would help in better tracking of the evolution of the source code.
- Changing the version browser to show versions of method source code that have become orphaned in the course of name changes to classes, or due to removal and renaming of the methods. This is especially important since refactoring often involves renaming of methods and extracting code into new method names and in the absence of such a tool it would become difficult to track the changes.
- Build a repository of all the previous method source code that was “lost” in the transition from version 3.8 to version 3.9.
- Build a complete repository of all Squeak methods from versions 1.0 through 3.9.
