This is indeed something to be proud of. Thank you, everyone who contributed (and that are a lot of people). And thank you Stéphane and Marcus and INRIA for driving this, Pharo would not be possible without your enthosiasm and continuous support.

- Better primitive simulation
the following two go together, see http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4617 mainly the startup handling has been made more robust and decent command-line notifications have been added. so you will get a nicely colored stack-trace when loading a script with an error. Plus CodeLoader has been simplified
- Better headless support - Better support for error at startup
I guess the new ClassSearch popping up in Nautilus / Browser on cmd/ctrl-F + MC / TestRunner search fields on top of the lists
- Search in tools - Better search
