Well, there are no builds for that version. Are you referring to the build 202004210425?<div><span style="font-size: 10pt"><a href="https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/202004210425#files" target="_blank">https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/202004210425#files</a></span><br></div><div><br></div><div>So, that would be like bleeding edge, right?

There was one major change to how the VM moves from machine code into the interpreter, replacing a setjmp/longjmp pair with a much lighter-weight "jump-call with substituted return address". But this "just works". We're able to perform experments without disturbinf=g trunk. SO for example, adding makefiles to allow building of the VM under clang-cl.exe on Windows was done without affecting the other builds at all.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div id="gmail-m_8746207609124841345__MailbirdStyleContent" style="font-size: 10pt;font-family: Arial;color: rgb(0,0,0)"><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Marcel</div><div></div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-top:20px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px">
