Pharo 10 Released!

Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers:

We have released Pharo version 10 !

Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful
environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.

[p10]

Pharo 10 was a short iteration where we focused mainly on stability
and enhancement of the environment :

  * Massive system cleanup: gained speed, removed dead code, removed
    old/deprecated frameworks (Glamour, GTTools, Spec1)
  * All Remaining tools written using the deprecated frameworks have
    been rewritten: Dependency Analyser, Critique Browser, and many
    other small utilities.
  * Modularisation has made a leap, creating correct baselines
    (project descriptions) for many internal systems, making possible
    the work and deployment of minimal images.
  * Removing support for the old Bytecode sets and embedded blocks
    simplified the compiler and language core.
  * As a result, our image size has been reduced by 10% (from 66MB to
    58MB)
  * The VM has also improved in several areas: better async I/O
    support, socket handling, FFI ABI,

Even being a short iteration, we have closed a massive amount of
issues: around 600 issues and 700 pull requests. A more extended
changelog can be found at here.

While the technical improvements are significant, still the most
impressive fact is that the new code that got in the main Pharo 10
image was contributed by more than 80 people.

Pharo is more than code. It is an exciting project involving a great
community.
