[squeak-dev] [ANN] Monticello backport to Squeak 3.4

I don't believe to be a "die hard" squeaker but one that give big
importance to the stability.

In such sense all my production projects are currently on 3.8 (and 1
or 2 on 3.7).

I don't think will invest time to migrate to 3.9, may be 3.10 or the
next one, depending of the customer needs and the improvements I need.

To my own playing I'm using mostly 3.10.

HTH.

Germán.
