The last update of the bug-free 3.0 was 3545. Checking almost
a thousand updates to track down a bug is a very impressive
work. Thank you very much, Scott!

Yes, this sounds convincing to me. I am still using 2.7 for all
of my MVC stuff and it is only now that I began to bring it
to 3.2. The release quality of 2.7 was really excellent and I
think it was for a long time the most beautiful release for MVC
users.

Dan also asked:

2.7 for MVC 
3.2 alpha (last update: 4599) for Morphic

Yes, of course. I will do that now, during my summer
holidays.

Scott is seemingly surprised that there are almost no MVC
users. I am surprised  too, but I think I remember that two years
ago there was some discussion  about how to bring users to
Morphic. The decision to ship Squeak 3.0 with Morphic as the
default user interface obviously brought most user to Morphic
and that is a beautiful success.


Greetings,
Boris
