Dear Squeakers,

welcome to this edition of The WeeklySqueakSummary, an (in principle) monthly but somewhat traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog.

Again, we did not have too many posts during the past four weeks - two this time.

The "big news" is that Squeak 4.2 is finally there [1]. From what has been going on on squeak-dev in terms of trunk commit messages and release discussions, one could conclude that some important things have been changed. Most of them are somewhat under the hood, but all in all, this release looks like a very good one. The details are in the post - and in the image. ;-)

IWST, the "research track" of ESUG, is calling for contributions [2].

The past month's news items:

[1] Squeak 4.2 final now out! http://news.squeak.org/2011/02/03/squeak-4-2-final-now-out/
