Dear friends,

Yes - really an impressive release. With many cleanups and new treasures in
the image - but also many shiny new/updated external packages and projects
(like Roassal, Polymath, Calypso browser, ... to name just a few).

Thanks to all who helped - especially to the ones who cared and also worked
on the not so interesting but often hard to solve issues or boring but
necessary parts or infrastructure.

The new git integration in Pharo and the included Iceberg tool will allow us
to work with services like GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket - even own local git
servers (for instance setups using Gogs.io). We can now manage project
resources beside code, commit several packages at once and branch and merge
as necessary.
This really rocks!

Many thanks also to all the contributors of the OpenSmalltalk initiative -
it is also impressive how much progress was done on VM side. Also thanks to
the ones writing new books, articles and tutorials so other can learn and
enjoy such a fantastic dynamic and lively system.

We still have a way to go for Pharo 7 and onwards. I'm eager to play with
the new git based development process and interested on how we can manage to
build our future Pharo based on the bootstrap efforts.

Even when not finally there ... step by step it goes!

Bye
T.

released!

Dear World,
?
The time has come for Pharo 6.0!
?
Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful
environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.
?
This is our most significant release yet. Here are some highlights:
?

- Pharo is now provided in 64-bit version in Linux and OSX and brings even
better performance and stability (beware, 64bits version is a new technology
and a small amount of tests is still failing)
- A new code changes management system named Epicea for easier reviewing and
recovering of your code easily
- Integrated support for Git through an easy-to-use tool for repositories
and commits management named Iceberg (as a preview for Pharo 6, it will be
the default in Pharo 7)
- The unified foreign function interface (UnifiedFFI) for interfacing with
the outside world is significantly improved
- The PharoVM is now part of OpenSmalltalk initiative
- Introduction of object immutability, alternative bytecode sets and block
closures independent of outer context
- Pharo can now be bootstrapped from source code managed by Git
- Pharo modularity is improved
- Pharo is faster
- The Dark Theme was improved and set as default color theme of Pharo ?

?
These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as
important. We have closed 1474 issues in Pharo 6.0 (a more complete
changelog can be found at
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo60ChangeL
ogs.md).?
?
While the technical improvements are significant (starting the transition to
64bits is a remarkable achievement), still the most impressive fact is that
the new code that got in the main Pharo 6.0 image was contributed by more
than 80 people.
?
Pharo is more than code. It is an exciting project involving energetic
people. We thank all the contributors of this release:
