Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers:

We have released Pharo https://pharo.org/ version 11!
What is Pharo?
Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful
environment focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.

- Simple & powerful language: No constructors, no types declaration,
no interfaces, no primitive types. Yet a powerful and elegant language with
a full syntax fitting in one postcard! Pharo is objects and messages all
the way down.
- Live, immersive environment: Immediate feedback at any moment of
your development: Developing, testing, debugging. Even in production
environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying steps
again!
- Amazing debugging experience: Pharo environment includes a debugger
unlike anything you've seen before. It allows you to step through code,
restart the execution of methods, create methods on the fly, and much more!
- Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more
than 100 contributors for the last revision of the platform and hundreds of
people constantly contributing with frameworks and libraries.
- Fully open-source: Pharo full stack is released under MIT
<https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT> License and available on GitHub
<https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo>

... more on the Pharo Features page http://www.pharo.org/features.

In this iteration of Pharo, we continue working on our objectives of
improvement, clean-up and modularization. Also, we included a number of
usability and speed improvements. A complete list of changes and
improvements is available in our Changelog
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo110ChangeLogs.md

Some highlights of this amazing version:
Highlights

refactoring support.

- New Tools presented in Calypso (the System Browser) and additional
extended Inspectors.
- All versions of NewTools, Spec, Roassal and Microdown have been
updated with their respective bug fixes and improvements.

System

- Extended Full Blocks and Constant Clock closures support.
- Additional Inlining and optimizations
- Bug Fixes and Clean up.
- Ephemeron Finalization support.

Virtual machine

- Ephemerons Production Ready.
- Initial support for Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD).
- Third-Party Dependency Update (Newer versions, Graphic Libraries
using Hardware Acceleration).
- Clean Ups: Remove lots of old code, notably old experiments, and
dead code.

Development Effort
This new version is the result of 1412 Pull Requests integrated just in
the Pharo repository. We have closed 972 issues and received contributions
from more than 70 different contributors. We have also a lot of work in the
separate projects that are included in each Pharo release:
