Hi Hannes,

Unfortunately I cannot find a way to do the publish. The map.squeak.org
site lets me edit my own package releases, and that is where the "publish"
check box is. But I see no way for me to do it with the community supported
FFI package.

Meanwhile, if I try doing the install for FFI from the package level,
then click "accept" to proceed, it tries to load the old 3.10 version.
So that is not good :-(

Dave
