[ANN] SIXX 0.2 is now available for VisualWorks

Hi,

We have upgraded SIXX to 0.2.
The new version is available for all platforms (Squeak, VisualWorks,
and Dolphin Smalltalk).

SIXX 0.2:
http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~umejava/smalltalk/sixx/index.html
(You can install SIXX from Cincom Public Store Repository).

SIXX now supports 'shape changed' class deserialization.
Even if class definitions are changed between SIXX file and the
current image, you can read the file via SixxShapeChangeReadStream.

Other features:
- Safer Boolean reading
- Added a new option "SixxSettings>>useNCR"
    - You can specify whether to write multi byte string by numeric
    character references or not.
- Unicode string (de)serialization support (Squeak, VW)
- Added more hook methods for customizing serialization/
deserialization.

More details are described here:

Enjoy!
