Everyone,
Open Cobalt (http://opencobalt.org -- based on Open Croquet) is nearing its public alpha release. We would like to ship Open Cobalt with the most up-to-date VM possible on Mac, Linux and Windows, preferably at the same version on each. Ideally, that would probably mean 3.10.4 on every platform.
Looking at http://squeak.org/Download/ and http://squeakvm.org, I see various latest version #'s available for the different platforms. One possible course of action I could take is do fresh builds on each platform from the current subversion sources. But before go through that exercise, I would like to ask the knowledgeable members of this list:
1) What is the latest STABLE version of the Squeak VM that is available for all three major platforms?
2) Is there any reason anyone can think of that this latest version would not be suitable and stable for Open Cobalt's alpha debut? This would include performance issues. If so, what is the most recent VM that would be suitable and stable?
3) We would like to expand the number of platforms that Cobalt is available on. Does anyone know of Squeak VM builds on platforms such as Solaris and FreeBSD that have the functioning openAL and openGL bindings necessary for Cobalt?
All pointers, links, tarballs, and advice will be most appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ed Boyce for the Open Cobalt Project
