That's really exciting news... appreciate you sharing it with the wider community (I know when you mentioned its existence a while back I went and watched the Esug recordings to get more info, and looked at some of the extensive test cases to get a feel on what it looked like - its neat).
Having multiple options for persisting data (from simple Fuel up to Soil and Glorp and Gemstone) is very useful.

Soil is an object oriented database in pharo <http://pharo.org/>. It is transaction based having ACID transactions. It has binary search capabilities with SkipList and BTree+ indexes.

This release is still considered early stage because
- although in ApptiveGrid there are over 4000 instances of it and there are other users there isn't a wider range of use cases, yet. So it is not fully battle tested. This just as reminder when you start compaining I need somewhere to point my finger to and say "I told you!" ;) - there are few things missing that you might expect like garbage collection, etc.
So but it is definetely usable and awaiting the brave ones of you to try.
Hopy you enjoy it!
