Hi all!

We are currently packaging RC1, which will be the first (and maybe only)
release candidate of Squeak 5.3.

Due to recent discussions on the list, here are some infos from yesterday's
board meeting:

- Release VM will be 201912311458 if there is no veto


Not a veto but a request that we use the latest VMs here:

https://travis-ci.org/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/jobs/652284937

These are VMMaker.oscog-nice.2714/202002190233.  The main reasons to use
them are that a) that Nicolas recently got a fast primitive highBit working
and b) they are otherwise almost identical to 201912311458.  The highBit
primitive would then be able to be enableded in 6.0 alpha.

The Mac Pharo builds fail because of a technicality, but all the Squeak
ones are good.

- No new sources file for 5.3; so slightly bigger changes file compared to
5.2
- No update of the localization files ("locale") due to time constraints
- Same Linux directory structure as in 5.2 (compact bin/shared in Linux
bundle; resources/bin/lib/squeak in all-in-one bundle) due to time
constraints
- Next Trunk version will be 6.0alpha ;-)

So, we want to keep the CI infrastructure as is and push the release out as
soon as possible. :-)

***

If we overlooked important fixes from the Inbox, please speak up now! :-)

Best,
Marcel
