            <p>The upcoming release of the OpenSmalltalk VM is looking
              good. The current release candidate (OSVM Version 2026)
              looks good, we will most likely get one more soon.</p>
            <p>Around fall last year, I volunteered to oversee the next
              Squeak release. I would like to propose a schedule the
              move things foreward:</p>
            <p>- Feature Freeze on <strong>March 25</strong> (i.e.,
              Squeak 6.1 beta)<br>
              - Code Freeze on <strong>April 10</strong> (i.e., Squeak
              6.1 rc1, rc2, rc3, ...)</p>
            <p>Then we will see how many release candidates we need to
              decide on the final version and open up Trunk development
              again, which will likely be &quot;Squeak 7.0 alpha&quot;. Hopefully
              before end of April.</p>
            <p>Go ahead and take a look at the current state of affairs
              right now :)</p>

            <p>After the Feature Freeze, we will offer Squeak bundles
