Slate 0.3.2 is now available from the downloads area on the main site. 
It is now the stable reference release for users. To summarize the 
activity of the last few months(!), Slate now has a number of 
additional features:

A new inheritance system (mostly transparent) which allows greater 
control over inheritance precedence to avoid nasty multiple inheritance 
bugs.
Cross-platform socket support.
UTF-16 support added, but Unicode support is not yet fully integrated 
into the core.
External library access was filled out, allowing greater ease of 
dynamic binding to available legacy libraries.
ncurses and Windows console support were added, along with a "smart 
editing" REPL which supports command history and live editing.
Functional programming support and more method query protocols.
Syntax extension: `() now acts to quote the expression enclosed.
As usual, many bug fixes and smaller feature enhancements are included.

The archive is at: http://slate.tunes.org/downloads/slate-0.3.2.tgz

The instructions for usage in README have been updated, so please 
review them. Detailed changes are listed in NEWS.
