update stream
Last updated at 1:05 am UTC on 17 January 2006
The update stream is a term for the list of updates which can be loaded by any Squeak user to update an image to the very latest Squeak version.

To load updates, choose 'update code from server' from the 'help...' menu.

This is typically done if you're using an alpha or beta release of Squeak. It's not as useful if you want to upgrade from one stable version to the next stable version. (e.g from 3.6 final to 3.7 final) In that case it's typically faster to download the newer Squeak version from the ftp site.

Starting with Squeak 3.8alpha, an "Unstable Updates" update stream has been re-instituted. This update stream may be slightly ahead of the regular "Squeak Public Updates" update stream, but it may have more serious bugs in it, so don't use it with an image that isn't already backed up. Here is a description of the intent behind the unstable stream.

See Code updates for more details.
