VA Smalltalk - Early Customer Access Program

Welcome

Instantiations is pleased to offer this program to allow our customers access to pre-release versions of VA Smalltalk.

Pre-release versions give our customers a chance to see new features as they are implemented and an opportunity to provide feedback
before the release.

Note: Pre-release versions are snapshots of internal builds that are a work in progress.
They may, or may not, be fully functional and are not intended for use in production systems.

If you are a VA Smalltalk customer with an active support subscription, you already have access and can begin downloading
the pre-release software now!

If you are not a customer just yet, we want to welcome you and ask that you check out the following links below:

• registering for a free trial version of the latest product release
• purchasing the product

Downloads

VA Smalltalk v9.2 Pre-Release Builds are zero-install distributions (no installation or modifications to the system required)
providing new 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines coupled with the latest Smalltalk images for our upcoming release.
