Dear Squeakers,

Aida got recently a development push and together with improvements over 
several years it is now a time for a new release.

Main effort was put on realtime and Single-Page Applications (SPA) to be 
prepared for a forthcoming decade of web development. A dependency 
mechanism was introduced for domain objects to announce its changes 
easily. Web apps can subscribe to changes and update elements of a web 
page accordingly.

Multitab support is another improvement to mention, also many minor ones 
and patches, more in https://www.aidaweb.si/release-notes-6.8

To install on Squeak (tested on latest 5.3 64bit):

i := Installer monticello http: 'http://squeaksource.com'.
i  project: 'SPort';
    install: 'Sport-2.031'.
i  project: 'Swazoo';
    install: 'Swazoo-2.4final.2'.
i  project: 'Aida';
    install: 'Aida-6.8final.2'.

.. then open http://localhost:8888 .

Aida/Web is a Smalltalk web framework for building dynamic web 
applications the Smalltalk way. From classical to single-page web apps, 
on high-level so that building web apps becomes a joy, not a hassle!
