Squeak 3.7 is released! It was a bit of a long time coming, but it is now available for download at http://squeak.org. Thanks to everyone who contributed in one way or another.
PR announcements will be going out to various public places soon.
Here's a summary of the major new features in 3.7, copied from the "What's New" section in the Welcome Window:
* Version 2 of SqueakMap, a major upgrade which supports multiple
releases for packages, user accounts and much more. * Babel, a framework for supporting language translations in the UI. (e.g. French, Swedish, etc.) * SmaCC, the Smalltalk Compiler Compiler deployment runtime from John Brant. The SmaCC development tool lets you define a parser/compiler. * Some packages removed and placed on SqueakMap, including the XML parser and IRC. * The Accufonts bitmap font set. This means the original Apple NewYork font has been removed, to help clean up the Squeak-L licensing issue regarding fonts. * BitstreamVeraFonts, a set of free TrueType/antialiased fonts. * Chronology package. This contains ANSI DateTime, refactored Date and Time classes. * The remaining ANSI compatibility methods. Squeak now includes all of the major ANSI compatibility changes. * A Change Notification framework from the KCP team at Berne. This sends consistent notification messages when code changes happen in the system. * Latest updates from the SqueakLand/Etoys world. * An enhanced look and feel including menu icons, gradient scrollbars and window titlebar buttons, etc. * Horizontal scrollbars now supported in all scrollable text/list panes, and very large lists are now supported with LargeLists. * Class comments immediately visible in Browsers when a new class is viewed. * Enhancement packages incorporated from SqueakMap: NamedProcess, ShrinkingSelection/ParenBlinking, BreakpointSupport, LargeLists. * Support for animated GIFs and saving PNG files. * Support for compressed source files. * New class Matrix which replaces Array2D. * The usual numerous small enhancements and fixes.
