> I am pleased to announce a new release of Magma.  Release 42 brings
> unprecedented scale and availability of persistent domain models to
> Squeak users.  In particular, a single logical repository can now be
> served from multiple servers simultaneously, each hosting their own
> physical copy.  To maintain consistency, just one server receives
> writes and broacasts commit-records to "warm-backup" servers
> asynchronously.  The warm-backups ensure to keep themselves constantly
> up to date automatically.
>
> Individual servers in the "Node", even the primary, can be brought
> off-line and back on-line without disruption to clients.  Maintenance
> routines such as full-backup and compression may optionally be run
> while a repository is off-line, resulting in true 24x7 operation with
> no performance degradation due to maintenance jobs.  The more physical
> copies of a repository that are brought on-line, the more read-scale
> the overall Node will provide.  For more details, see:

> Scales up as well as down:  Magma retains it's existing ability to
> scale an existing, large, multi-user repository _down_ to a single
> user on a single laptop easily, without a single change to application
> code.  This can be very useful for diagnosing production issues
> without disturbing production.

> 42 one-click loads cleanly into 3.9, 3.10 and Pharo, and is supported
> on those images.
