Previous VMs had buggy code that could easily crash when heavily stressed, as discovered with Vassili Bykov's native Hopscotch UI in Newspeak on Win32.<br>

</div>Hi Eliot,<br>
<br>
do you keep a continuous changelog somewhere for your releases? It would be nice to include that in the VM.<br>
<br>
Also, your Mac VM bundles always have the same version number which is somewhat inconvenient. Would be nice to splice the release version into Info.plist.<br>
<br>
While I'm in nitpicking mode: CFBundleVersion is recommended to be a simple integer, incremented for each bundle release - your "2459" might serve fine. This is not shown in the UI. The Finder shows CFBundleShortVersionString and the Get Info dialog shows CFBundleGetInfoString. Both of these are free-form as far as OS X is concerned, you can put anything you want in there. "Smalltalk vmVersion" includes CFBundleShortVersionString so there may be users expecting a certain format.<br>
<br>
Your current CFBundleGetInfoString has a link to a "boutique web design" company. I'm almost certain that's not what you wanted to put in there.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blush>You point out some vary lazy practices on my part. I'll see what I can do about addressing these next week. The Cog Newspeak VMs are still green but essentially functional so there's perhaps a little time to iron-out the scruffy bits.</blush></div>

In other words: Thanks for the new release ;)<br>
