Changes on BASE, from 1.6 to 1.7 enhancements: sprintf-like parameter insertion for strings modifications: get rid of an unnecessary polymorphism selector (Character>asString, the only send was in Application>sourceIdentifierForVersion:); lots of programmers went into a trap when using that code without Application Management loaded removed selectors: Character>asString Filename class>stringFromArray: NOTE: You should carefully check for further sends to Character>asString . Either replace the calls or backup the method and reinstall after upgrade of BASE.
