[squeak-dev] [ANN] Aida/Web v6.8 released

The list of apps safely availabe in 5.3 is still a short list of diamonds
which, it appears, Aida's alphabetical position could justly top the list!
Would you mind documenting that install script as an new entry for 5.3?

I myself will be quite interested in your client-side implementation of the
new event subscription mechanism.  As an API server, the GraphQL spec
defines a subscription service, too, which I've just implemented in the
engine.  When a smalltalk object signals #changed, updates are pushed to
subscribed clients, asyncronously, as it should be.  :)

Congratulations.
