The most recent syntax

Hello,

If I'm not wrong there are more than one way to do some things in Smalltalk when
3.0 is released. What is the most recent syntax in GNU Smalltalk for

 - Creating classes (with some instance variables, class variables, comment etc...)
 - Extending classes
 - Creating objects

? I guess it is not the syntax on online documentation?

Superclass subclass: Subclass [
     | instVar1 instVar2 |
     ClassVar1 := Dictionary new.
     ClassVar2 := nil.

]

Same as above, with "ClassName extend" or "ClassName class extend"
before the bracket.

This has not changed, it's standard Smalltalk.

Thanks, now I am stuck at creating methods for them. Actually, if there are
sample programs written in new syntax they would help me a lot, all the samples
in source package are written in old style :(

Not really, everything in kernel/* and scripts/* and big parts of
packages/* is written in the new syntax; so is the tutorial, maybe you
should just read that.
