Subject: Announcement:  Squeak Version 2.2 available
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 14:48:45 -0700

Squeak Version 2.2 includes a web browser and mail client written in
Smalltalk, as well as a number of ongoing experiments with end-user
scripting and Squeak's version of the Morphic graphics architecture. 
Information about the release can be found at:
    http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.1
Documentation specific to the release can be browsed at    
    http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeakDoc.1
The above servers are running in Squeak.  The Swiki server software is
included in the release, and some people run Squeak just for this
server!

An extracted mini version of Squeak 2.2 is also available.  It
decompiles system sources with temp names preserved.  The 580k image can
browse over 850k of formatted source code with no other files needed. 
The image includes text editor, compiler, code browsers, file lists,
Floats and LargeIntegers.  It is a complete Smalltalk development
environment that can run in 1MB on many PDA's (interpreters are
avialable for Cassiopeia, HP320LX, Zaurus MI-506, etc).

Squeak is a public-domain derivative of Smalltalk-80 with which it is
still reasonably compatible.  It has been extended with color graphics,
sound synthesis and network access -- all written in Squeak.  Even the
Squeak interpreter is written in Squeak, and it runs bit-identical
images on Windows, Mac, Unix, Acorn, and a number of other platforms.
