I did say silent about a new release because I was hoping to include EtoileUI 
in the release. But I haven't really worked on it since September, so it isn't 
ready yet.
However DocGenerator is now more or less ready to be released. Still a lot of 
things to improve and implement in theory… but well I have to stop at some 
point :-)
I'll post another mail about it soon.

I haven't used Smalltalk on Linux since this summer, so I should give it a try 
I suppose.

There are various things I wanted to do before releasing it:
- Rename -properties to -propertyNames (given that -properties conflicts with 
some Cocoa API)
- Renamed ETProperty to ETPropertyViewpoint (less critical, but it's related to 
some uncommitted code I have. This code makes possible to create custom 
viewpoints on an object graph, where a viewpoint corresponds to a new object 
graph representation)
- iirc the mixin support is still broken with the new runtime
- Finish to document the mirror reflection API
- Deprecate most NSURL+Etoile which only works with the file scheme and have 
GNUstep base implement the new equivalent methods recently added to Mac OS X
- Improve the documentation to use the new DocGenerator abilities (like 
grouping classes/protocols/categories to build an API overview page, regroup 
methods by task etc.)

So either we can ignore all that, and release it as it is, I don't mind. 
Or take in acccount the first and the last point, which are the only important 
ones in the list imo.

Probably one or two weeks after the FOSDEM? 
For the next two weeks, I'd like to hack a bit on EtoileUI, and finish some 
things to demo at the FOSDEM.

So the release would include EtoileFoundation, LanguageKit, EtoileText and 
DocGenerator, right?

Cheers,
Quentin.
