Thanks, Alex! And thanks for releasing, too :).
I am very happy that this part of Moose got traction again. I hope to get more in the future.
Roassal is already integrated with Glamour (and it even has an Easel now), and thus it loads in Moose. The key now would be to focus on removing all dependencies from Mondrian to stress the new engine. There are still rough edges in Roassal, but if we focus on it I am sure we can enhance it significantly.
Cheers, Doru

Hi!
The release of Roassal is now official. As you might have seen, Roassal is now distributed with Moose. The plan is to slowly replace Mondrian by Roassal. This may take some time, but we will reach the point that Mondrian can rest in peace.
Roassal remains largely compatible with Mondrian. The visualizations you have scripted with Mondrian should normally work with Roassal without too much pain.
Gofer new squeaksource: 'Roassal'; package: 'ConfigurationOfRoassal'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfRoassal) project lastVersion load.
Having Roassal out implies that I will essentially focus on Roassal instead of Mondrian. Naturally, I will continue to incorporate important bug fixes in Mondrian. But as far I am concerned, no major enhancement of Mondrian is planned.
We learnt a lot with Mondrian. Roassal really goes one step further with better interactions, a clean low level if you wish to build your own domain specific language. To be short, Roassal is simpler and better.
I suggest people to enter bug fixes and requests for enhancement in the Moose google project as we are doing for Mondrian.
