Detailed changelog: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo70ChangeLogs.md https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/maste... Sounds incredible! Git integration and related code management changes are especially nice, 64-bit by default is great and support for binary packages is also important. New, extensible code browser (Calypso) also sounds impressive, but I'll have to see it in action first. Pharo is an incredibly productive environment. Fully inspectable everything (on the language level, but also on GUI level - you can inspect all kinds of widgets interactively) and the Debugger where you can define your logic as needed make for incredible programming experience. Plus, it's Smalltalk, which is a beautiful language in its own right. With this release, it looks like Pharo may finally become more than just a toy. Looking forward to it!

GToolkit is also an exciting new development that's happening in parallel with the mainline Pharo. This is a reimagined programming workflow for Smalltalk with new UIs for coding, debugging, documenting, example browsing, testing, etc. Likely the best bits of this environment will be cherry-picked into future Pharo releases, but meanwhile it is available here at https://gtoolkit.com/ https://gtoolkit.com/ and I for one am building an application on it.

  Are there any screencasts or similar videos out there? Looks promising but it probably "clicks" more if you see it in action with a more complete example.

    I'd recommend downloading and starting it. It opens into an interactive "notebook-like" tutorial. The system is very discoverable. Has a markdown-like syntax where you can embed Smalltalk objects and code examples and interact with them directly in the page.

    There is a nice overview/demo, though unfortunately the quality of the video isn't great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeYEais1eT4&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeYEais1eT4&feature=youtu.be
