Hi Dan,
I thought that Squeak Central was in control of the update process. Who
exactly is the maintainer
of the 3.2 fork and why did this fork take place? Is Squeak Central now
out of the loop?
Cheers, Roger.....

I seem to be unable to upgrade the most current published version of
Squeak 3.2 to 3.3. Am I missing something?
Yes.
1. Take a raw 3.2 image
2. DoIt: "SqueakVersion setImage"
3. Help -> updates
This loads a few updates, but then stops on or about update 4681.
Please advise where I am missing the boat, or what I should do to
effect the update to current alpha using the updaters.
A choice was offered, at update #4653, to advance to 3.3 and the
maintainer of the 3.2 fork chose NO. There are no provisions for
advancing to 3.3 after that point.
It's true that this differs from most earlier releases, because 3.2
continued to evolve after the fork, rather than merely receiving a few
fixes that might have allowed for later advancing to 3.3.
It is conceivable that you could fool your system into thinking that
it was at update 4653 (remove or rename all changeSets after this #),
*then* change your version and go forward from there, but I have no
certainty that it would be successful.
Hope this helps.
