Besides welcoming Marcel to the board yesterday, we discussed that 
we'd like to push for the 4.6 / 5.0 release by April 30th. Somehow my 
name was the only one to be found on the volunteer list as release 
manager, but Eliot voiced his willingness to assist, but will be 
relying on others to chip in as well. 
 
So, I've just updated the Squeak 4.5-13686 image from trunk (lo and 
behold, it worked without a hitch!) to produce a Squeak4.6-14191.zip 
which is now available at ftp.squeak.org/4.6alpha/. 
 
>From this snapshot forward, lets start thinking about the 4.6 release 
and all that we want to be in it. If you have any low-level changes 
to the image that would benefit from as much testing as possible, now 
is the time to get those finalized and committed into the trunk. 
Controversial changes should start in the Inbox as always, we still 
have time for one or two more arguments. :) 
 
In a few weeks, we'll want to start being more conservative with our 
changes; only things like tools and cosmetics -- and we'll hammer out 
the look and UX. 
 
4.6 is a dual release also as 5.0. We'll be releasing two VM's and 
two images; one each for the Cog and Spur formats. The content of the 
images will be equivalent.
