Some status:
The Preview is functional (all tests passing:) on GemStone (included in base for GLASS 1.0-beta.9), Squeak 4.3 through 4.5 (is Squeak4.5 the trunk?) and Pharo 1.1 through 1.4. Christophe Demarey is helping me port the Metacello Preview/Metacello Scripting API to Pharo2.0.
For the Squeak guys ... I did finally address the bug that was bugging me, but I'm still interested in some real world feedback ... There are a handful of users, but I haven't gotten enough bug reports to satisfy me that it is being beaten on:)

| Dale has done some really cool work on Metacello! From the original
| announcement at
|
http://forum.world.st/Metacello-Preview-release-1-0-beta-32-2-td4642064.html| :
|
|
| The Metacello Preview release provides the following features:
|
| - Metacello Scripting API (user guide[1] and reference[2])
| - Metacello-Base package for inclusion in Squeak/Pharo base images
| - support for git and GitHub (filetree:// and github:// repository loaded)
|
| In typical Dale fashion, he wants to provide our community with as much value
| as possible, so he's been tentative to release his "preview" version until
| he gets feedback from users and can tailor it to our real-world needs.
|
| I feel, after checking with Dale, that integrating the preview into Pharo and
| Squeak trunk now will provide a balance between exposure and malleability,
| to make sure we have an API we'll all love by the next respective releases.
|
| Cheers,
| Sean
