0.10.0
* introduced new language management (STLanguageManager)
* introduced remote scripting (STRemoteConversation)
* new tool for semi-persistent environments: stenvironment
* added reading from stdin to stexec
* added remote scripting to stshell and stexec
* new conversation methods
* removed tools: stalk, stupdate_languages
* removed depreciated methods from STEnvironment, removed class STLanguage
Notes:
- you can delete */Library/StepTalk/Configuration directories
0.9.1
* Actor class - STActor. For more information see attached example or
Examples/Smalltalk/stactor.st
* fixes after GNUstep-base fixes of NSUnknownKey
0.9.0
* Changed "full scripting" behaviour. When enabled, all classes are
available for scripting, not only those published by frameworks.
* There was done design fix in the Smalltalk language bundle. Instance
variables of script objects were accessed by index, now they are
referenced by names. This allows further creation of STActor
(STScriptObject successor) object that is composed of script methods and
ivars. Also it would be possible to create script methods for any objc
receiver. Ivar access is done through KVC. For more information do not
hesitate to ask.
0.8.2
* Fixed and changed license to LGPL
* Several fixes from Mateu Batle for the framework and Smalltalk bundle
* Fixed bug with signed/unsigned bytecode in the Smalltalk bundle
0.8.1
* Added ReadlineTranscript
* Renamed, added and deprecated some STEnvironment methods. Methods were
not removed, NSLog warnings were added.
* Added STConversation object. Basically, it's a conversation with
objects in an environment using a scripting language. The reason
for creating this clas was to open a path for easier remote scripting
where you can 'talk in a conversation' with a remote DO server or
application. However, this remote part is just going to be implemented.
0.8.0
NOTE: You HAVE to remove your previous installation of StepTalk to be
able to install new one. (especially Local/Library/Headers/StepTalk).

* Added script objects.
Other:
* StepTalk module was removed, because it was no longer required.
* Added framework loading support in environment description files (.stenv)

For more information about scripting bundle see ApplicationScripting
directory.

* Smalltalk: Added parsing of real numbers
* ObjectiveC: added two new methods into the Runtime object:
selectorsContainingString:

* Created an empty language bundle MyLanguage as an example
* Added GDL2 module
* Fixed installation: removed forced installation to the user's home
directory
NOTE: Please delete all standard StepTalk language bundles, modules and
finders from your home directory if it is not your default installation
directory so new bundles can be found.

Guile bundle is not build by default. You have to make it in
Languages/Guile directory (make; make install). You may try to execute
very simple piece of code in Languages/Guile/Tests using stexec.
NOTE: do not forget to run 'stupdate_languages' after installing any new
language bundle. To find out if languages were updated, try
'stexec -list-languages'
