Pharo 7.0 released!
===============
Dear World and dynamic language lovers:
The time has come for Pharo 7.0!
Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful
environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.

This is our most significant release yet. Here are the key highlights of
this release:
• Pharo is now provided in 64-bit version in Linux and OSX and brings even
better performance and stability. The 64-bit version is now recommended for
Linux and Mac, and is provided as technical preview for Windows.
• Pharo comes with a new version of the PharoLauncher (
https://pharo.org/download): THE tool to manage your distributions (access
to regular versions, jenkins builds, and older versions).
• Pharo build has a fully new build process that supports its full
bootstrap from sources. This will enable the production to specific (micro)
images.
• Iceberg, the git client for Pharo has been significantly improved, and is
the default CMS.
• Calypso, the angular stone of PharoThings, is the new system Pharo
browser. It replaces Nautilus and brings better remote working and more
advanced browsing capabilities.
• IoT is now an important part of Pharo. Installing PharoThings (
https://github.com/pharo-iot/PharoThings) provides an impressive amount of
tools to develop applications in small devices.
• The unified foreign function interface (UnifiedFFI) for interfacing with
the outside world is significantly improved to work properly on Windows
64-bit.
Pharo 70’s new infrastructure and process set the stage for a new
generation of version.
The visibility of GitHub combined with the powerful tools that have been
validated with more than one year of beta testing is massively pay off.
These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as
important.
We have closed a massive amount of issues: 2142 issues! (A comprehensive
changelog can be found at:
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo70Change…
).
While the technical improvements are significant, still the most impressive
fact is that the new code that got in the main Pharo 7.0 image was
contributed by more than 75 people.
Pharo is more than code. It is an exciting project involving energetic
people. We thank all the contributors of this release:
