About this release ---------------
All in all, there were over 870 issues treated in the issue tracker.
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=1&q=milestone%3D1.4
Read it again, yes 870 is huge, take two minutes and have a look at the list of improvements! Now you got a feeling for the effort. And this not our own work but the work of our community! It is possible because people worldwide helped! We want to deeply thank them.
We want to thank in particular Inria for its constant support, in particular for the salary of Igor Stasenko and for help in the infrastructure put in place.
We have accomplished this huge task for a better system because we were together. Do not forget that we are working on a consortium to support our system. Do not forget that our goal is to build a system so that we can make a living with our creativity and programming skills.
Read the Pharo vision document and join!
Thanks ***a lot*** for your participation, energy and fun.
The Pharo Team
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.
