Folks,

Source code, pre-loaded VMM image, precompiled Linux/386 and Darwin/ 
PPC binaries available.

Enjoy,
Ian

[3.8 was never promoted to stable, so the release notes describe the  
major...]

Changes since 3.7-7:

VM:

   The VM is now fully compatible with Croquet and will run both Squeak
   and Croquet images.

   Attribute 1006 answers a string describing the VM build environment.

VM drivers:

   vm-display-X11 no longer generates Squeak KeyUp events for X
   KeyRelease events that came from autorepeat.

Plugins:

   Parts of aio and sqUnixSocket modified to support asynchronous
   notification of i/o, and a new entry point (aioSleep) added for the
   benefit of the Mac VM.  (In some cases it's trivial to demonstrate a
   factor of 2000 improvement in socket throughput.)

   SO_REUSEPORT has been enabled for any architectures that support it.
   At the time of writing Darwin does but Linux does not.

   UUID plugin now supported and bundled.

   OSProcess and XDisplayControl plugins updated from Dave Lewis's
   distributions and bundled.

   CroquetPlugin and FloatMathPlugin from Andreas are now bundled for
   full Croquet compatibility.

   Security plugin now obeys SQUEAK_USERDIR if set.
