[squeak-dev] [ANN] 3.10 is Final, over, finito ...

Edgar J. De Cleene
Formal part and in Ralph absentia....

This release (3.10) is the first release on the road to smaller, more
compact releases of Squeak.

The Packages that have been removed are:
   * Flash
   * StarSqueak
   * SmaCC
   * Speech
   * Movies
   * FixUnderscores
   * OB
   * OmniBrowser

The Universes browser written by Lex Spoon has been added to this
release; this makes it much easier to install packages. Many actively
developed packages are easily installable using this browser.

For older packages that are not yet available from the Universes
browser, SqueakMap is still available in the image  to install these
packages.

Packages can also be installed directly from code repositories such as
http://www.squeaksource.com/ using the Monticello browser. For example,
Keith Hodges' Installer package is available from
http://www.squeaksource.com/Installer, and the Universes package is
available from http://www.squeaksource.com/universes.

Quality control
-------------------------------

We know that this release is not yet perfect, but there are now more
than 2200 automated tests that run under Mac OS X, Windows XP and
SimplyMepis Linux 6.5 every time a [BUG] or [ENH] report from Mantis is
made to our update stream.

Mantis
-------------------

 From now on, bug reports and improvements are best reported by filling
in a Mantis report at http://bugs.squeak.org. Instructions are available
at http://bugs.squeak.org/proj_doc_page.php .

On behalf of the 3dot10 team,
