We are planning on a release candidate at the end of June, with a brand
new official release at the end of the summer -- probably September.

We've been working on various fairly significant revisions, including a
partial re-engineering (reverse-engineering! :-)) of FLINT to remove the
excessive cost of runtime type passing.  We're just about to build  
110.63.1
for local testing, and this includes the first significant changes in  
FLINT
for a long time.  110.64 will be announced shortly after.

We've also moved the server for www.smlnj.org to a local machine here
at UofC, and we've started a long overdue cleanup and revision of the
web site.

Want to help out with some of the work?  Volunteers welcome!  We can
give you an account on the local gforge server that is now hosting
development.
