In Pharo 7.0 releasedDetailed changelog: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/maste...
Sounds incredible! Git integration and related code management changes are especially nice, 64-bit by default is great and support for binary packages is also important. New, extensible code browser (Calypso) also sounds impressive, but I'll have to see it in action first.
Pharo is an incredibly productive environment. Fully inspectable everything (on the language level, but also on GUI level - you can inspect all kinds of widgets interactively) and the Debugger where you can define your logic as needed make for incredible programming experience. Plus, it's Smalltalk, which is a beautiful language in its own right.
With this release, it looks like Pharo may finally become more than just a toy. Looking forward to it!

Things that I find especially interesting, from new stuff:
> TxModel, a modern text model who works with Athens (Preview)
This is very, very nice. New text model was in the works for quite some time now and I'm glad it finally landed. Easy and powerful text editing is important, even in primarily GUI-driven environments. Pharo was a bit behind the times in this regard, which resulted in, for example, Shampoo (http://dmitrymatveev.co.uk/shampoo/).
> OSWindow, a new way to handle windows and input events (Preview)
This allows for creating OS level windows from inside Pharo. IIRC it's supported only on Windows right now, but it's a very nice feature and will make creating apps that "look natively" easier.
> Slots model instance variables as first class eni

ties and enable meta-programming on this level.
This looks rather important and I remember reading about it some time ago. There's a paper about it: http://scg.unibe.ch/archive/papers/Verw11bFlexibleObjectLayo... - I'll need to read it again now that it's implemented.
Then there are updated things, all very nice too. Congratulations to the team and contributors!
