Michael notes that a lot of new stuff just hit the dev build of Cincom Smalltalk, so there are a few integration issues to sort out:

What to say, this build is going to be a bit messy for those giving it a go. It's the birth child of several major changes being merged in at once. It's very exciting, because many of the enhancements I've been loading in to my image (eg: RB4xx) are now in there by default. The new SUnitToo and SUnitToo(ls) are now included as well. There's lots of good stuff in there.

As an added bonus - Seaside 2.8 is included in the build and for the first time since we started this project, all the tests pass in the image straight out of the box! That's very exciting. In our development environment we now have over 300 unit tests that help us automate the testing of new Seaside versions. All of those pass too.

Our development versions of Seaside are now pulling in Glorp prerequisites if you load the Seaside-Glorp goodie as well. This brings Glorp+Seaside to a wider development audience and it should be getting a great deal more focus over the next few months as we gear up to the release of Cincom Smalltalk VisualWorks 7.6 and then Web Velocity 1.0 some time after that.

The next release is scheduled for Q1 of 2008, so things should calm down by then - and the toolset will be incrementally better.
