This was posted on http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.370 concerning the present status of the JitterVM:
"The Jitter VM was released for Squeak 1.31. Users should note that it has a serious bug in the way it caches the structure of classes. If you write code that redefines a class with many subclasses, you may crash shortly afterwards. I have written test code that crashes it every time. Ian has not released a Jitter for 2.0 or 2.1. He is working on a from-scratch new one. Presumably it will not have the cache bug. -- Ted Kaehler"

Yes, but where is the 2.1J image? Or has the JIT implementation been abandoned on the Mac? The only one I can find is the same one Travis mentioned, which seems to be 2.0 - which I was under the impression meant there'd be problems playing with Morphic using the 2.1 image (of course, I'm under a lot of impressions, and I'm sure many of them are quite wildly wrong - perhaps this is one of those :-)).

I got my 2.1 in st.cs.uiuc.edu Smalltalk/Squeak/2.0/Squeak2.1sea.bin. I seem to remember that after downloading the archive I was surprised because it was name 2.0. Ignore this because inside it is actually 2.1.
