Hi Esteban and Everyone,

I would like to request we start the process for promoting a new Pharo 7
VM.  d952580 (vmLatest as I write this) has two changes that I'm
looking forward to:

- Fix path encoding / decoding on OSX
  Hopefully this will finally allow me to submit the File Attributes
  changes (fogbugz 18279[1] & 21368[2]).
- Add primitiveChangeMode(), primitiveChangeOwner() and
  primitiveSymlinkChangeOwner()
  This will allow Pharo to set file owner & group IDs and posix
  permissions on Unix platforms (Linux & OSX).


Other changes include:

- stdio is flagged correctly on Windows
- Windows 64 bit work
- fflush added to sqFileTruncate()
- Eliot's work on Cog
- Everything else I've missed :-) (sorry to those authors)


Running the automated test suite on Linux 32 bit, Linux 64 bit and
Windows 32 bit produces basically the same set of failures with the
current stable VM and the proposed VM.
