[ANN] Pharo 7.0 released!

by Esteban Lorenzano

Pharo 7.0 released! =============== Dear World and dynamic language lovers: The time has come for Pharo 7.0! Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback. This is our most significant release yet. Here are the key highlights of this release: â¢ Pharo is now provided in 64-bit version in Linux and OSX and brings even better performance and stability. The 64-bit version is now recommended for Linux and Mac, and is provided as technical preview for Windows. â¢ Pharo comes with a new version of the PharoLauncher (https://pharo.org/download) THE tool to manage your distributions (access to regular versions, jenkins builds, and older versions). â¢ Pharo build has a fully new build process that supports its full bootstrap from sources. This will enable the production to specific (micro) images. â¢ Iceberg, the git client for Pharo has been significantly improved, and is the default CMS. â¢ Calypso, the angular stone of PharoThings, is the new system Pharo browser. It replaces Nautilus and brings better remote working and more advanced browsing capabilities. â¢ IoT is now an important part of Pharo. Installing PharoThings (https://github.com/pharo-iot/PharoThings) provides an impressive amount of tools to develop applications in small devices. â¢ The unified foreign function interface (UnifiedFFI) for interfacing with the outside world is significantly improved to work properly on Windows 64-bit. Pharo 70âs new infrastructure and process set the stage for a new generation of version. The visibility of GitHub combined with the powerful tools that have been validated with more than one year of beta testing is massively pay off. These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as important. We have closed a massive amount of issues: 2142 issues! (A comprehensive changelog can be found at: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo70Change…) While the technical improvements are significant, still the most impressive fact is that the new code that got in the main Pharo 7.0 image was contributed by more than 75 people. Pharo is more than code. It is an exciting project involving energetic people. We thank all the contributors of this release: Gabriel Omar Cotelli, Gustavo Santos, Marcus Denker, Torsten Bergmann, Esteban Lorenzano, Bernardo Ezequiel Contreras, Guille Polito, Pablo Tesone, Yoan Geran, StÃ©phane Ducasse, Cyril Ferlicot, Vincent Blondeau, Denis Kudriashov, Julien Delplanque, Tim Mackinnon, Max Leske, Andrew P.
