There was no released Pharo-5-64bit for comparison IIUC Pharo-6-64bit is "stable" but I guess as its adopted into more varied use and environments, some issues may arise. So use 6-64bit if you need its image size capability, otherwise use 6-32bit (but still develop using 6-64bit to find those outlying bugs more quickly and cover 6-32bit with CI testing) cheers -ben > and for production applications we should wait for 6.1? > What you want is for any bugs you find to be integrated into 6.1, so you need to use 6.0 to find them ;) cheers -ben > At the moment it seems a little chaotic - we all like the new features, > and 6 is definitely a breath of fresh air - however if you want to deploy > something commercially then you need stability. > > > Tim > > > On 3 Jul 2017, at 19:28, Esteban Lorenzano <esteba...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > >> On 3 Jul 2017, at 20:08, Bernhard Pieber <bernh...@pieber.com> wrote: > >> > >> Hi, > >> > >> What VM would you recommend for a production app on macOS Sierra? > >> - Pharo 6, right? > > yes > > > >> - I assume 32-bit because 64-bit is still experimental, right? > > not particularly, you can download it and use it. > > some tests fails but people is already using it (iceberg will not work, > but AFAIK, is the only thing that does not works). > > > >> - The one I get with „curl get.pharo.org | bash“ has a reproducible > crash when typing (https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk- > vm/issues/141).
