It depends of what you mean by "new version". In the past few years there have been one or two numbered releases per year. The last release was 4.5 and the next one will be a dual 4.6/5.0 release (4.6 with the traditional Squeak image format and 5.0 with the new Spur image format) and that is coming soon.

If you mean small updates to "Trunk", these have been happening daily as normal (but you might not see them from an older image).

cool!

Will squeak get to 64 bit linux and support some kind of concurency? perhaps with epoll or other even loopy things? or actor model or csp?
I worry about scalability for smalltalk web apps..but frank sargent said gemstoen glass handles that concurrency for me?

comments welcome

interesting vid
