Fellow Squeakers,

I have been working with the 3.8 image for a bit and thought the community
would like a little god news.

Here's what I did:

Dispose of mascot and empty trash.  I like him, but for a day job image,
he's distracting.
Resize to 1024x768 screen
Load personal customizations and bigger color chooser.  No problems.

Here is what I loaded and did.  Unless otherwise noted, I answered yes to
all of the version and release warnings.

Do day job work updating the diagrams by hand.
File in lower life form generic class reader and
    generate more new DB table diagram objects.
Save and export big diagram to GIF.
    The palette color registration is so much
    better now.  Excellent improvment.

Found out that green duplication handle didn't work.
    Moved   HaloMorph-->doDupOrMakeSibling:with:
    from 3.8 6665-full image based on mailing list clue.
    Green Halo to dupe a morph works again.


In Short:  it works.
Squeak keeps getting better.
