Pharo 3.0 Released!

Dear World,
Pharo 3.0 (http://www.pharo.org) is here.  The past year seemed short as we got busy building more than usual. Many things have changed in Pharo. Here are the highlights: - The new modular Opal compiler is now the default compiler used in the system. - The Athens vector graphics canvas is now integrated and it supports Cairo rendering on all platforms. - Many tools have been rewritten using Spec, a new framework for building user interfaces. - Versionner and Kommiter are two of the new development tools. - RPackage, a new package mechanism got enhanced with tags and is fully integrated in the system. - The debugger model was rewritten to become modular, the inspector received a bump to support multiple views, and the Nautilus code browser supports tags, search and lot more improvements. - Morphic has seen many cleanings and improvements and the visual theme has been revamped. These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as important. We have closed 2364 issues in Pharo 3 (compared with 1727 issues in Pharo 2). Take a moment to go through a more detailed recount of the progress: Pharo is improving on many fronts. Just take a look at the code city of Pharo (built with Pharo for Pharo). Every building is a class, and the red bricks represent the modified methods in Pharo 3.  Many things are changing but the system gets more stable. Moving from Pharo 2 to Pharo 3 is almost a matter of just loading the code. Remember that Pharo is your platform.
