Hi Thushar,

Magma's developer mostly uses Squeak, so the latest version of Pharo
that Magma works more or less out-of-the-box on is 1.3.
I made a start on porting it to 1.4, and then 2.0 but then promptly
ran out of time.  However, as far as I'm aware the porting should
mostly consist of the change to SystemAnnouncer, and Filesystem as you
mentioned.
Magma has a pretty comprehensive test suite, so it should be
relatively easy to verify any porting effort.

I know that people seem to be gravitating towards other solutions, as
Stéphane mentioned, but Magma is still an excellent tool, and is
ridiculously simple to use.  I like it enough that for my own
projects, I'm still using Pharo 1.3 so I can use it, until the desire
to use 2.0 and beyond finally pushes me into completing my porting
effort ;)

If you do want to give the porting a go yourself, I'd suggest posting
to the Magma list.  Chris is very supportive of porting efforts.

Regards,
Stuart
