> Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers:
>
> We have released Pharo <https://pharo.org/> version 12!
> What is Pharo?
>
> Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful
> environment focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.
>
>
>    - Simple & powerful language: No constructors, no types declaration,
>    no interfaces, no primitive types. Yet a powerful and elegant language with
>    a full syntax fitting in one postcard! Pharo is objects and messages all
>    the way down.
>    - Live, immersive environment: Immediate feedback at any moment of
>    your development: Developing, testing, debugging. Even in production
>    environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying steps
>    again!
>    - Amazing debugging experience: Pharo environment includes a debugger
>    unlike anything you've seen before. It allows you to step through code,
>    restart the execution of methods, create methods on the fly, and much more!
>    - Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more
>    than 100 contributors for the last revision of the platform and hundreds of
>    people constantly contributing with frameworks and libraries.
>    - Fully open-source: Pharo full stack is released under MIT
>    <https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT> License and available on GitHub
>    <https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo>

> In this iteration of Pharo, we continue working on our objectives of
> improvement, clean-up and modularization. Also, we included a number of
> usability and speed improvements. A complete list of changes and
> improvements is available in our Changelog
> <https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo120ChangeLogs.md>
>
> Some highlights of this amazing version:
> Highlights New breakpoint system
>
> The debug point system is a breakpoint model that supersedes the previous
> implementation of breakpoints and watchpoints. They are configurable,
> composable, and extensible. The traditional breakpoints remain available,
> including conditional breakpoints, one-time breakpoints, and object-centric
> breakpoints. Additionally, there are new types of breakpoints, such as
> chained-breakpoints, which condition the activation of certain breakpoints
> on the triggering of others (e.g., breakpoint B only activates if
> breakpoint A is hit first). Debug points also feature a dedicated browser
> and integration options.
>
> Tools
>
>    - Scalable fluid class syntax is now the default one
>    - Preparing the introduction of the Bloc graphic system by migrating
>    more tools to Spec2 widgets
>    - Spec2 UI framework enhancements to support GTK 4
>    - Leaner version of the Metacello package manager
>    - More robust and strict mode for FFI
>
> System
>
>    - New architecture for refactorings and domain specific transformations
>    - Code loading speed improvement
>    - Fast browsing via fully optimized package tags
>    - Optmized memory usage via optimized method protocols
>    - Compiler simplifications and improvements
>
> Virtual machine
>
>    - Massive image support with permanent space
>    - String/ByteArray comparison speed up
>
> Development Effort
>
> This new version is the result of 1895 Pull Requests integrated just in
> the Pharo repository. We have closed 865 issues and received contributions
> from more than 70 different contributors. We have also a lot of work in the
> separate projects that are included in each Pharo release:
