ftp://alix.inria.fr/pub/squeak/unix/2.3 contains the usual stuff for:
alpha-osf1-v4.0 i386-linux-2.0.36 (linked against glibc-2.0.7) i386-linux-2.1.24 (linked against libc-5.4.38) sparc-solaris-2.5.1 sparc-sunos-4.1.4
with the regular four-file snack-packs in the "distributions" directory.
Major noteworthies:
* graphics-related bug fixed (can anyone spot what it is? this bug has been there since 1.13 and nobody noticed!)
* user-defined primitives are gone (definitively! -- use named primitives instead)
* there's an optional low-res 1/50 second clock using ITIMER_REAL and SIGALRM, avoiding lots of relatively expensive calls to gettimeofday()
NOTE: this means that sleep() won't work; if you really absolutely cannot avoid calling sleep() from custom-made code then change #define USE_ITIMER to #undef USE_ITIMER at sqXWindow.c:93 and recompile the VM
* the ".image" extension on the image name is added implicitly (you have the option of omitting it on the command line)
* a couple of Makefile pimples squeezed, more or less as suggested by Bert Freudenberg and Lex Spoon
Let me know of any problems ASAP. Enjoy!

Jumping windows ? Moving the window up to the border sometimes let them jump.

Ah, sometime ago I profiled the VM and was shocked how much time was spend in this routine.

If someone could put a compressed tar file with the image and the changes file on a ftp server I would appreciate.
This package would probably be a round 4 Mbyte instead of 10 Mbyte for the uncompressed files.
I prefer bzip2 because it compresses better than gzip. But gzip would be ok for me too.
