Hi all, The last release is almost a year old and now that the Pharo-VM is mostly merged back into the code base, it is a good time to work on the next stable release. I had a chat with Eliot and Clement and it looks like the Sista bytecode set/full block support and Ephemerons will be ready to release. We have decided to set the release date to February 1, which gives us more than a month to revise our release bundles and test the VMs. Please find the corresponding GitHub milestone at [1], the GitHub project at [2] should give a good overview over what needs to be done. There is still plenty to do, so any contributions are greatly appreciated!
Best, Fabio
