[ANN]: Next OpenSmalltalkVM Release Planned For February 1

Hi all,

The last release is almost a year old and now that the Pharo-VM is mostly merged back into the code base, it is a good time to work on the next stable release.

I had a chat with Eliot and Clement and it looks like the Sista bytecode set/full block support and Ephemerons will be ready to release. We have decided to set the release date to February 1, which gives us more than a month to revise our release bundles and test the VMs.

Please find the corresponding GitHub milestone at [1], the GitHub project at [2] should give a good overview over what needs to be done. There is still plenty to do, so any contributions are greatly appreciated!

Best,

Fabio

Dear all,

We've just reached an important point for the next release: our CI builds finally pass again [1]. Thanks to everyone who worked on this!

If you break it, please fix it. If you want to try out something or work on a feature, please use a branch first. :)

Happy holidays!

Fabio
