Folks -

I have just wrapped up Squeak 2.6 as a Mac self-extracting archive on the UIUC server in the Squeak/2.6 directory, named

	Squeak2.6.sea.bin

This includes
	Squeak2.6.image
	Squeak2.6.changes
	Squeak VM 2.6 PPC
	Squeak VM 2.6 68K
	ReadMe.txt
	Squeak3D plugin for PPC
	SoundCodecPrims plugin for PPC

I have also stored uncompressed image, changes and readMe.txt files for the convenience of those making up similar packages for other platforms.  These should be removed when the other compressed packages are installed.

As always, make sure to transfer the image AND changes as raw binary files and, if you unstuff any Squeak archive, make sure the preferences of your extraction utility specify no conversion of text files.

I don't have time to detail the major new features in 2.6 right now, but it's a good one, with many enhancements and fixes from all of you.

Take a bow ;-).

PS, Test Pilots:  Since by nature you will be bored as soon as you get 2.6, you can execute...
	EToySystem eToyVersion: 'Squeak2.7alpha' date: Date today
and prepare to encounter more stimulating turbulence with your next update.
