Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback. Lot of improvements at different levels have been performed such as (i) Pharo is now provided in 64-bit version, (ii) a new code changes management system named Epicea for easier reviewing and recovering of your code easily or (iii) an integrated support for Git through an easy-to-use tool for repositories and commits management named Iceberg.
We have closed 1474 issues in Pharo 6.0 (a more complete changelog can be found at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo60ChangeLogs.md).
While the technical improvements are significant (starting the transition to 64bits is a remarkable achievement), still the most impressive fact is that the new code that got in the main Pharo 6.0 image was contributed by more than 80 people.
Pharo is more than code. It is an exciting project involving energetic people.
