So what's new?
ObjectStudio:

- Many, Many bug fixes
You can grab the release notes here (pdf) - they go into full details on what's new. If you are a Cincom customer, you should expect to see the release CD/DVD arrive within the next couple of weeks (if you don't, please let us know). NC users - we'll have the site updated with the new download after the new year, so you can make Smalltalk part of your New Year's Resolutions :)

James et-al,
I was poking around the release notes and found a typo :
The warning section on page 4-6 -- last line says the following : "this operation with quickly crash the image" -- should read "this operation will quickly crash the image".. I'm still reading but it sounds very impressive with all the new stuff.. I'll be checking out the NC version when it's available! Thanks!

Here's a few more typos if you're interested..
On page 4-16 :
"A schema identical that for the supported Store databases"
Perhaps it's supposed to say :
"A schema identical to that for the supported Store databases"
Another on page 4-18:
Along these lines, you can instantiate an instance of an OpenSSL algorithm same way as the native ones."
probably should be :
Along these lines, you can instantiate an instance of an OpenSSL algorithm in the same way as the native ones."
One more minor nit on page 4-19:
The current version of the wrapper should support usual OpenSSL installations on Windows and Linux..."
probably should be :
The current version of the wrapper should support typical OpenSSL installations on Windows and Linux..."
