- Fixed garbage collection while finalizing objects
- Many ANSI methods for Character have been covered
- First attempt to reach endianness image compatibility
- String to Number methods and viceversa have been added
- Super messages have been fixed
- Syntax shortucts such as Object>>#caseOf:otherwise: have been added
- Fixed cascading parsing
- A complete Smalltalk compiler has been added
- Support for cross-compiling and with more options have been added to Scons
- Save text of methods
- Increased initial memory size from 20000 objects to 100000 objects
- More C functions have been documented
- An important issue in ArrayedCollection?>>#replace:From:To:With: primitive has been fixed
- Access mode (read, write, read and write) to Streams and more methods to FileStreams? have been added
- CompiledMethod? and CompiledBlock? inheritance has been reorganized
- Run Smalltalk scripts from command line
- New plugin to wrap native Win API to create a simple WinWorkspace
- Build Syx for Windows CE with WinWorkspace running on the device
- Support for user-defined startup sequence has been added

Cross-compiling to Windows CE has been done with host=arm-wince-mingw32ce using CeGCC by disabling all configuration options. Endianness compatibility is not perfectly reached yet.
