<div><span>Hi all!</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>We just released the next version of the
OpenSmalltalk VM. </span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Please find the binaries here:</span></div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/tag/202205110711"><span>https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/tag/202205110711</span></a><br>
</div>
<div>(see VMMaker.oscog-mt.3184 and update.oscog-mt.6.mcm)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That version will be used in the upcoming Squeak 6.0 and
also updated</div>
<div>bundles for Squeak 5.3. And probably in upcoming Cuis
releases. :-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is an attempt of a change log (since 2020): </div>
<div>
<div>- Adds ARMv8/Aarch64/ARM64 JIT incl. support for Apple M1</div>
<div>- Adds "fast C primitives" via #FastCPrimitiveFlag<br>
</div>
<div>- Adds support for catching exceptions in FFI callouts</div>
<div>- Adds #primitiveScreenScaleFactor (for DPI-aware images)</div>
<div>- Adds primitives 568 and 578 complementing 88
(primitiveSuspend)</div>
<div>- Adds #primitiveMultipleBytecodeSetsActive to update
image format for SistaV1</div>
</div>
<div>- Adds VectorEnginePlugin</div>
<div>- Fixes regressions in ARMv6 support</div>
<div>- Fixes performance regressions of -metal and -opengl
backends on macOS</div>
<div>- Fixes -core-graphics backend on macOS</div>
<div>- Fixes Retina scaling on macOS, i.e., support "backing
scale factor"</div>
<div>- Fixes primitive 126 to fail on graphics backends w/o
composition buffer</div>
<div>- Fixes regressions in vm-display-fbdev on Linux</div>
<div>- Fixes time sync (e.g., for DST) on Windows</div>
<div>- Fixes UDP binding on Windows</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am sure that I forgot something especially in plugin
code. Please expand on this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BIG THANKS to everybody who has worked on this release!
Personally, I would like</div>
<div>to thank Eliot, who is a great software architect who keeps
on making the OSVM</div>
<div>faster <span>with every commit. Thank you!</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Marcel (on behalf of the OSVM core dev team)</div>
