This week (25/2022) on the Pharo Issue Tracker

We merged 17 PRs this week.

The main news is that DoIts that evaluate against a context (e.g. printing a value of a temp variable in the debugger) now use normal variables names (PR 9588).
#DoItIn: is gone, as the parameter is not needed anymore (PR 11402)

And PR#11379 enables IM support in SDL2: Some natural languages needs a support agent so-called IM to input letters/symbols including emojis.
