BTW, the PharoWelcomePage window is very well done, really beautiful, professional and helpful. It looks even better using the Dark theme ;-)

>> This is our most significant release yet. Here are some highlights:
>>
>> - The PharoVM is now based on Spur, the new memory management, and it brings with it a 35% speedup!
>> - A new unified foreign function interface (UFFI) replaced NativeBoost to provide a strong Spur-compatible framework for interfacing with the outside world.
>> - The Glamorous Toolkit now includes the GTDebugger to offer a moldable infrastructure that allows��the developer to customize the debugger deeply.
>> - The underlying Reflectivity mechanism has reached maturity with multiple pieces coming together��to empower developers to instrument their own systems. For example, we now have breakpoints��implemented as just a simple extension of this mechanism.
>> - QualityAssistant is now part of the image to provide live feedback during development.
>>
>> These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as important. We have closed��2446 issues in Pharo 5. Take a moment to go through a more detailed recount of the progress:��https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo50ChangeLogs.md.
>>
>> While the technical improvements are significant, just think of getting 30% faster out-of-the-box,��still the most impressive fact is that the new code that got in the main Pharo 5.0 image was��contributed by 100 people. Together we have touched 43% of the classes, and 20% of the methods. The��following visualization rendered with Roassal in Pharo 5.0 is dedicated to this effort. The picture��shows the touched classes and packages in gray, the authors and the links to the changed classes in��red, and, ��using an automatically generated visual id, you can spot authors that have worked on��similar projects.
