> Hi everyone,
>
> After nine months of work by our software team, and several weeks of
> sprinting by Bert Freudenberg, Yoshiki Ohshima, Scott Wallace, and myself,
> we're very happy to announce the Squeak Etoys 4 release candidate!
>
> What's a release candidate, you ask?  Well, it's hopefully the final
> version, but we want more testing first.  It's better than a beta, but not
> quite ready for real use.  We'll be releasing the Etoys 4 final on October
> 21st.
>
> Please help us test the new Etoys!     We want to make sure that it's rock
> solid before getting used in schools and homes throughout the world.
>
> You can download the Etoys 4 release candidate here:

> It's at the bottom, below the fancy icons, under "Release Candidates."

> To learn what's new in Etoys 4, you can start by watching an interview with

>
> * loading and sharing projects directly to the central Squeakland Showcase
>
> * fully "license clean", so that it can be included in Linux distros
>
> * improved toolbar and viewer
>
> * optional drop-down categories for the project info box
>
> * lots of fixes and new translations throughout
>

>
> We'll respond to your comments on Monday, or earlier if we can't resist

>
> Special thanks to everyone who made suggestions or helped us test the betas.
