[ANN] Magma 1.0 release 44

[Ramiro Diaz Trepat]

Hi Chris,
Once again, thanks for your work.
One question though, is this version running fine on the latest Pharo 1.0 ?
I haven't been able to start a server successfuly, I get a primitive has
failed.
It doesn't run on Pharo 1.1 or Squeak trunk but you didn't mention those :)

I loaded it in a fresh Pharo 1.0 image using:

ScriptLoader new installer.
Installer ss project: 'Magma';
install: '1.0r44 (server)'.


Cheers
