I apologize in advance if I'm simply stating the obvious here, but I can't tell what you mean exactly from the below.

First, as I'm sure you are aware, Squeak is fundamentally made up of two parts: the Virtual Machine and the Image. We'll ignore the source code aspects for now which are of course 2 other files. The development of the two main pieces occurs in parallel certainly, but somewhat separately. The result of this is that in effect at all times there are two pieces with slightly different version numbers that are both current.

As Mariano mentioned the usual site to find the very latest Unix VM is

http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/

Where you will currently find a 3.10-4 version. The basis for this version number is fundamentally the major version of the image used to generate it, and a minor version number as new VM releases are issued between major image releases. This is not completely consistent across platforms so you will see variations in version numbers for Mac and Windows and other platforms for the VM. By and large the VM changes slowly and there is rarely a need for most people to update it very often.

The Image is the primary element most people are interested in and where most change occurs. This part is cross platform and the same image can be used with any reasonably modern VM. The most recent release is 3.10.2-7179 and in general one can find it at

http://ftp.squeak.org/current_stable/

Of course in practice the obvious thing to do when looking for the latest release is to go to

http://www.squeak.org/

where you might find the Download link in the menu to the left or perhaps the Downloads box at the right. For Unix the box on the right simply points to the Download page. On the Download page you find a number of links within sections for each platform for the VM and sections for the Image and Sources.

Frankly I'm curious where you downloaded 3.10.1 (Image or VM?) and got the impression it was the current release.

I am currently using Squeak 3.8 and am quite happy with it except that when a debugging window comes up all other open windows are redrawn which can be very annoying especially since I tend to have a lot of windows open (many that I have just failed to close).

I downloaded the most recent version of Linux which I assumed to be 3.10.2 but it was 3.10.1 instead. Is there are way to get Squeak 3.10.2 for Linux? If not, when will it be available?

Will 3.10.1(2) fix my problems with window redrawing?

The software I am writing involves implementing algorithms for building finite state machines from regular expressions. Thus I assume that there are no features in 3.10 that I really need for my work. Am I right?

Thanks,
