This was supposed to be a minor release, but in the end it turned out to be a major release with significant improvements.

The key highlights are:

- Based on Pharo 2.0.

- All built-in visualizations use Roassal.

- Roassal received a significant performance boost and new smart graph layouts like TreeMapLayout or ForceBasedLayout.

- Roassal uses Athens for nice looking vectorial graphics.

- New charting engine based on Roassal: Graph-ET.

- Glamour changed to enable dynamic scripts, while still remaining backward compatible.

- Glamour received a RubricTextPresentation for using the new Rubric text morph.

- Glamour, Roassal, EyeSee, Graph-ET editors are more robust when dealing with errors in scripts.- New GTDebugger with dedicated workflows for Announcements, PetitParser and Glamour itself.

- Extended GTInspector for several object types.

- Usable version of GTMetaceller for handling Metacello configurations.

- FAMIX was strengthen to handle functions better in various programming languages.

- New free type fonts and simpler whitespace-loving theme.

- Lower memory footprint for large models.
