"Stable Squeak" is no vapoware - I got a prerelease image from John Sarkela.
The image is derived from Squeak2.8 with the apple fonts removed.
The image comes with the following packages:

	01. Base Contributions
	02. S-Unit 3.0
	03. Base Image Tests
	04. Events 
	05. XML (simple to use XML compiler)		
	06. Serializer (simple language neutral object serializer, format is
XML)
	07. Flow framework 
	08. Remote Objects
	09. Refactoring Browser
	10. Annotated Objects
	11. Repository
	12. Modules
	13. Modular Tools
	14. Smalltalk Interchange Format (SIF) File support 

Since the last tour stop was SmalltalkSolutions I think John will 
incorporate last changes and publish a finalized form. I've send him an
email 
to report the progress of the tour also to the Squeak mailing list.

Write an e-mail to sarkela at home.com to express direct interest.
