Well 5.0 is still in Alpha.
Feedback is slow, so the issue is how to drive acceptance?

The problem with the 64bit VM with 32bit images is that all the plugins have to be recompiled. Mind I did do the FreeType one.
However I was thinking that we could run the 5.0 VM in 32bit mode and use the existing plugins to minimize impact.

Here's a little feedback on the building-from-svn part (for rev 193, not sure if you plan on consolidating that with the 5.0 releases or not, in that case just ignore the last part):

- MainWindow.xib is included in resources for both PureObjC targets , it is not needed, and causes an error if you try to build without the iPhone libs installed. (i.e. a "vanilla" xcode install)

- SqueakOSXAppDelegate.m complains sqSqueakOSXInfoPlistInterface is undeclared, adding #import "sqSqueakOSXInfoPlistInterface.h" fixes it, not sure if you feel that's the approriate place though.

- the #error THIS IS BROKEN... labelled code could be written as attached, to work with width/height which are non-multiples of four.

(in short, save dividedWidth/Height as floats, as per their definitions, and use the rounded value of end- start coords as width/height instead. )

After that, it still won't work, of course :)

It seems the underlying bitmap is not updated when a resize occurs, and there's still a multiple-of-four error somewhere (e.g. my stored window size was 1133x761, but the underlying bitmap for opened window seemed to be 1132x761, which leads to a tilted initial view)

Cheers,
