We are happy to announce the release of Iliad version 0.8 for GNU
Smalltalk et Pharo.

New features include:

- Iliad is now using Grease and non portable code has been partially
replaced;
- The "mark dirty" mechanism has been rewritten to improve support for
tabs/windows sharing the same session;
- The new Formula package makes it easy to build validated forms;
- Control flow has been improved with new widgets (like confirmations,
sequences, etc) and widgets can append or prepend other widgets;
- In addition to static files served with ILDiskDirectory, they can also
be served from the image with ILMemoryDirectory;
- Smalltalk code can be evaluated on DOM events with #on<event>Do: ;
- Rewrite rules can be applied to the url builder;

Last but not least, the release also includes an experimental
implementation of Comet using XmlHttpRequest long polling.

GNU Smalltalkers can download Iliad with gst-package (using GST 3.2):
gst-package -t ~/.st --download iliad
