Using ‘Class Variable Initializer’ packaging rules for IC packaging

Migration Guide : Migrating from Version 6.0 : Using ‘Class Variable Initializer’ packaging rules for IC packaging

Previous to VisualAge Smalltalk V6.0.1, class variable values were not saved when packaging ICs. The #initializeClassVariable:to:inObjectNamed: and #initializeClassVariable:toObject:inClassNamed: packaging rules were being ignored. In VA Smalltalk, these packaging rules have their desired effect of initializing the identified class variable(s) in the packaged runtime IC.

You should examine the senders of these messages in your code to ensure that they specified the initialization values that you want for the class variables at runtime.
