Anybody knows the tentative release date for VA Smalltalk 8.5 ?

The instantiations page says "planned for August, 2011". I'm planning to switch the product codebase from VA 8.0.2 to VA 8.0.3, but if 8.5 will be available soon I will wait until the release.

Regards,

Gabriel

Gabriel -

We will be giving the V8.5 release date at ESUG in a couple weeks. I would
suggest waiting for V8.5 rather than starting an upgrade to V8.0.3 now.

We have never listed every fix and enhancement made in a release, only those
fixes and inhancements that would be visible (and possibly affect) users.
So, in particular, several VM fixes are not listed. Also we have never
explicitly listed documentation fixes (although it could be argued that we
should list them). The number 60+ comes from counting the cases resolved in
V8.5 which involved changes to product code or documentation.
