Well, I have one a bit old at:

Remember - it's not really up to date. I should revive it...

Oh, no problem! :-) Suggestions and feature requests are all welcome!

I am working on SM quite a lot. But currently I am working on 1.1 of SM
- intended for the upcoming 3.5 alpha.

Squeak 3.4 is about to enter beta any day and I would like to keep SM
"stable" too "in synch" with the base release cycle. So before 3.4 being
released sometime before x-mas there will be at least a few new 1.0x
releases of SqueakMap fixing bugs etc.

For example - the maintainer/author bugfix should be posted but I
thought I could collect a few more before releasing a new update.

The upcoming SM 1.1 has especially:

1. Support for package releases! The big one.
2. Support for "resources" and "persons". So in 1.1 you will be able to
register 3 different things: "persons", "packages" (with package
releases) and "resources".
3. Support for "links" between all objects on SM (categories, packages,
packagereleases, resources, persons)
4. Improved download etc like an intelligent cache.
5. Ripped out the old Modules stuff.
6. Cleaned up API.
7. A bunch of other stuff I can't remember now.
