[ANN] Pharo Launcher 3.2 released

Pharo Launcher 3.2 has just been released! It is available from http://pharo.org/download.

Pharo Launcher now comes with a command-line version that you can use from a terminal! You can check the documentation of commands as well as instructions to make pharo-launcher available on the command line.

This nice feature is now available thanks to the contributions of Axel Marlard, David Bajger and I as well as the support of Damien Pollet for the Clap library.
