Hi folks,

a new 3.0 MacOS-X VM is now available for download at:

	http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~marcel/Squeak/

the full URL being:

	http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~marcel/Squeak/Squeak-MacOSX-VM-3.0-2001.03.04.sb.tar.gz

New in this release:

	- Sound support using CoreAudio
	- Further factoring
		- all the UI/media related support code now has its own framework, SqueakAppKit
		- the front end app now consists of some nibs and 2 classes

The factoring means that virtually all the functionality is now in 2 frameworks:

	- Squeak.framework:  basic VM and support code
	- SqueakAppKit.framework:  UI-related, graphics, sound, pasteboard, etc.

If you want to build a faceless Squeak server app or command-line tool then linking against just the Squeak.framework is sufficient.  If you want interaction, you'll need to link against SqueakAppKit.  In either case, the additional code required is absolutely minimal.

Enjoy,

Marcel
