Miguel, Giving you the benefit of the doubt, you misunderstand. Something did change "suddenly" in my experience and (as I ****CLEARLY**** stated in my email), it could easily be that the links on the Pharo site are stale. It is also possible that some small change just made it into 1.4, and fixed several things that were wrong. If you would stop looking for ways to be offended, and READ what I wrote and think instead of reacting emotionally, you would see the likely scenarios.
No - I'm not kidding. I'm trying to help with marketing. The systems I was downloading from the Pharo site were "just plain broken" and that does not put a good light on the very hard work that goes into the system. Either a small but important change was recently made, OR, the links on the pharo site need to be condense to point to Jenkins.

How could this possibly "suddenly" happen? What do you think that the Pharo community is doing? Of course isn't suddenly! It is the result of the hard work that Stef, Markus, Igor, INRIA people and the Squeak community (from where a lot of improvements are picked) are doing every day, one step at the time. So, please don't send messages like this. Isn't that "somebody just do a lot work to make things better". It is the result of the long term plan that Pharo was created to fulfill. It is the work of people, with names, with effort invested. This mail is very offensive to the people that, from long ago and with a lot of fights and effort, has been working hard to make a vision a reality. Miguel Cobá
