Hi Eliot --
My feeling is that we should fix all of these, and include the primitive suspend fix. I shall refrain from making any changes other than in fixing these four issues.
Let's do that. There is still time. :-) I updated the squeak-app bundling to be able to include any tagged OSVM version. So we can continue testing both vm and bundles. The current bundles include the VM tag 202112201228.

Well, I figured that the pre-compiled (default) manifest only bothers 32-bit builds for Windows because there we use gcc instead of clang. I am still trying to understand how we can fix the 32-bit builds for Windows in this regard. Just deleting
msys64/mingw32/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/default-manifest.o
does not do the trick as the linking step (ld) will fail quite early [1]:
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -o mkNamedPrims.exe -mconsole -m32 ../../../platforms/win32/util/mkNamedPrims.c C:/msys64/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/10.3.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find default-manifest.o: No such file or directory collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [../common/Makefile:221: mkNamedPrims.exe] Error 1
***
So, the question is: Should I try to fix this and then make another release candidate, which would include the already pushed [2] SqueakSSL fixes for Ubuntu 16 as well? Or should we keep the current one? What about that hard-to-reproduce/debug BitBlt segfault [3]? Hmm...

There will be another release candidate because our current build system for Windows (i.e., MSYS+MinGW) hard-codes a manifest into the executable, which prevents us from enabling High-DPI-Awareness.
Stay tuned.

Hi all --
Here is the next release candidate: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/tag/202112201228 [https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/tag/202112201228]
Note that the macOS build artifacts are still unsigned and not notarized but will be as soon as I attach those to our squeak-app bundling job [1], which produces ready-to-run artifacts [2]. So, if you cannot manage to execute the macOS artifacts in this form, please report, compile yourself, and/or wait for a separate notification on the squeak-app bundles.

Please test this VM version: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/tag/202112022203 [https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/tag/202112022203]
Choose your preferred platform. Focus on cog.spur flavors for 64-bit machines.

What's you overall feeling of having a new release candidate of the OSVM?
Overall pace has been decreasing during the last weeks. Maybe this is a good time then? Latest commit was about 10 hours ago. So, wait for 2-3 days and then tag that version, produce binaries and test those?
Best, Marcel
