I haven't updated the list about recent changes for a while. So here's
a few bullet points for anyone still listening.

Since the OSX port I've mainly been working on Newspeak porting, or
related activities (eg. porting Aliens which Newspeak uses).

It's been bugging me for a while that there was no way to compress the
sources database, so I've been working on a solution. The code is
written and I'm using it personally, but until I've gone a few miles
with it I'm not ready to release it.

I'm gradually enhancing the debugger, with the eventual intention of
full edit-and-continue support. Not there yet, but I just added the
ability to inspect activation temporaries by name, so we are making
progress.

Various bug fixes, including a recent nasty in the GC code.

Somebody is obviously still accessing the google code site. I recently
made the image and Windows executables featured downloads (which makes
them appear on the front page) and noticed a jump in the download
frequency. Great stuff. All feedback welcome.

Cheers, talksmall
