BioSmalltalk 0.4 Release

Time to talk about the new 0.4 release. BioSmalltalk virtual-images include basic developement libraries for doing bioinformatics, for example XML APIs, OS services, HTTP requests, serialization, refactoring, etc. Both BioPharo and BioSqueak are editions of BioSmalltalk and includes specific platform packages, as all Smalltalk platforms evolves on their own.

There are separate downloads for different OSes: Windows, Linux and MacOS X. And there are different "Editions" which currently are: Pharo 1.4 and Squeak 4.4. Main developement is happening in Pharo 1.4. The Squeak edition is experimental and does not contain menu entries for targeted browsing and updating.
