Opentalk for ObjectStudio - We are delivering this in preview (beta) for this release, with full support in the next cycle. This allows object to object communication between VW and OS; OS developers can take advantage of VW features like Web Services, Web Toolkit (etc) - and VW developers can ship a fully native Windows GUI - all with full object level communications back to the main application
Better searching in VW - it seems like a small thing, but a type ahead matcher in senders/implementors/find class/Store makes for a much nicer development experience.
Better scalability in VW web applications - a lot of R&D has gone into creating a more scalable application server
VM plugin support - the Squeak plugin system has been ported to VisualWorks. This will allow for easier integration of platform services
There's a lot of other new stuff as well - check out the summary page. We should be shipping the new VW and OS versions later this month. Stay tuned!
