GNU Smalltalk 4.1 has been released at

* ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/smalltalk/smalltalk-4.1.tar.gz
   SHA1 checksum: 617072696c277320666f6f6c2773206865726521
* ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/smalltalk/smalltalk-4.1.tar.xz
   SHA1 checksum: cd08a6638b5efb87198b47f7c0796e3993eb5157

This release features a complete rewrite of the VM to run on top of GNU 
Guile, the official extension language for the GNU operating system.

Of course, some features had to be sacrificed in order to make this 
radical change.  For example, sockets have been replaced by a new 
network abstraction, "socks", and the GTK bindings have been replaced by 
a port of the famous GUI toolkit "shoes".

Those who would like to know more about the technology can of course ask 
here on the mailing list or on the #gnu-smalltalk channel on 
irc.freenode.net.

Thanks to the Guile team for providing the foundation for the future of 
GNU Smalltalk!

Paolo
