According to the Smalltalk books, the Smalltalk language undergoes a reimplementation cycle every two to four years. So, given the fact that the current version of Smalltalk is dated '80, and the books were published in (approximately) '84, where is Smalltalk 88 (and 84 for that matter)?

Version 3 of the Smalltalk Virtual Image is reportedly under development at Parc Place Systems. Anyone have any details on what it will contain?
