People of Squeak,
The RC3 distribution of Squeak 4.0 is now available at:
http://ftp.squeak.org/4.0alpha/Squeak4.0.rc3.tar.gz http://ftp.squeak.org/4.0alpha/rc3/
Please chip in, test it out, and reply to this thread if you see any problems. Classes of problems I'd consider blockers:
- Broken VM - Corrupt file - Things to do with the image that potentially block relicensing
If all is well, I will go ahead and roll the 4.0 directory structure with all of the other files one usually finds there.
Thanks!
Ah, I should have made a statement about what's changed since RC2.
- Newer Windows VM (3.11.8) - Newer Mac VM (4.2.2beta1U, with SparklePlugin.bundle removed, it had issues)
This should make things a bit more convenient for folks intent on doing the closure bootstrap.
The reason I removed SparklePlugin.bundle: it had some symlinks to stuff in the author's local directories (instead of the correct system directories) that were breaking my build process. I took John's advice and simply removed the bundle. I also fired up the VM to do a sanity check and make sure it still worked.
Thanks everyone! Freedom tastes better than cheese! Say no to mouse traps!

Good work. I was wondering why you needed to go to all the trouble with scripting and whatnot for Mac? Don't you just drag the files into a folder and cntl-Compress from the context menu?
Might I suggest some clear thought on naming conventions and directory organization?
For example I see: ftp://ftp.squeak.org/4.0alpha/rc3/ Squeak4.0-basic.zip Squeak4.0-mac.zip Squeak4.0-win32.zip
So how does Squeak4.0-basic.zip differ from the others? Is Squeak4.0-mac.zip = basic or something else? When I unzip a file, I expect to get a folder with the same name. Other people don't I know, but it might be something to consider.
I always try to think - write once, read many. Try to have a naming convention that will keep the confusion demons away for the long term future.
