  Hi, Guys,

 I'm not (yet) working on Pharo (still VW and some VisualSmalltalk in the
 few time left free from my main job), but I follow what you do (not just
 you but all the community) and I have to admit you (all) work really hard.
 Bergel is doing a fantastic job, and your Moose is very nice, etc.
 But, I really liked the presentation of the GT stuff, I can understand the
 energy you put behind your work.

 Great work. I'm happy you are on the ST community and working on the
 language (ST) i like the most. Thanks!
  (Oh, I know you don't like to have Pharo called Smalltalk, but I don't
 like religion's wars, so that is yet smalltalk, for me).

 BTW: Happy Holidays to all.

 Giorgio

 Description
 ---

 This is by far the most extensive Moose release to date. Just take a look
 at these two trailers.
 - Spotter: https://vimeo.com/113832673
 - Inspector: https://vimeo.com/103463364

 The key highlights are:
 - It is based on Pharo 3.0.
 - Roassal2 is a complete reimplementation of the core visual engine of
 Moose.
 - Roassal2 replaced Roassal, EyeSee and Graph-ET, and it features many
 new things including smooth animations, new composeable builders and
 several new layouts.
 - All built-in Moose visualizations use Roassal2.
 - Glamour has been extended with a Pager browser and with Rubric as the
 main text editor.
 - GTSpotter is a new tool that makes it possible to find objects fast.
 - GTInspector saw major usability improvements based on the Pager
 browser, and it now comes with many object specific extensions.
 - GTPlayground provides a new way to handle scripts and when combined
 with GTInspector, it can replace the dedicated easels and editors.
 - Moose Finder has been extended with the ability of handling in place
 visualizations.
 - GTDebugger has been strengthen and was made more robust.
 - PetitParser has been extended with the notion of context which enables
 elegant island parsing.
