Well, 3.1 is not really a development branch: it is clearly intended to be the next stable branch. The first release might not have been perfect, but the author has made it clear that 3.1 is 'the way forward' and that the 3.0 branch will be discontinued. I will happily make a separate branch if there is even one smalltalk user who wants to keep 3.0.x around (if you read this: please respond). But otherwise I'm inclined to just drop 3.0 in the near future and let people convert their programs. For those interested, check out the 'Incompatible changes' section on http://smalltalk.gnu.org/news/gnu-smalltalk-3-1 Regards, Johan --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAkplXPwACgkQaOElK32lxTv+gQCdFJHzEZAGdPIhWctJwVsJUKIo m5UAoIhgt+TpGqGebvYI0CnN4KTUE8R4 =fNYc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq--
