That would be awesome. Let's check :-) here is my understanding of the state of the world right now: The latest stable image release is Pharo-50771.image. The latest stable VM source release is pharo-vm-2016.02.18. These two releases are not compatible: This interpreter (vers. 6505) cannot read image file (vers. 6521). So the problem is that if a distribution packages the latest VM source release then the users won't be able to run the Pharo 5 VM that they download from pharo.org or via the pharo-launcher image. Is that correct? If so that's fine and hopefully we can fix it for Pharo 6.0. But if I am misunderstanding and a fix is available today that would also be good to know. I am looking for the "latest VM source release" in http://files.pharo.org/vm/src/vm-unix-sources/ and assuming that non-spur is the stable option for pre-6.0 images. Cheers! -Luke
