For those who want an easier transition from BB / Component Pascal, I
recommend trying Gardens Point Component Pascal. I've been using it daily on
Windows 7 for a couple of years with no problems. It is maintained and
supported. A link to the GPCP site is here:
http://www.cfbsoftware.com/gpcp
The great thing I find is that I don't feel like I'm a castaway on a
Component Pascal island. You can call the standard .NET Windows functions
and code written in C# (and the numerous other .NET languages that are
available). Because of the way the Common Language Runtime (CLR) is designed
it is very similar to calling a function written in GPCP.
You can then dabble with writing C# functions as and when you feel like it.
Although C# superficially looks similar to C many of the drawbacks
associated with C have been eliminated. That is not surprising as Anders
Hejlsberg, who designed the language was also responsible for the design of
Turbo Pascal, Borland's Object Pascal and Delphi and their influence on C#
is obvious.

I believe that interested Russian oberon-community with a support of international professionals and communicable users will continue releases somehow and not difficult open-source-kind support.
You can find the version above 16rc6 here, it already includes come fixes.
http://oberoncore.ru/_media/projects/bb16base-core.7zUntil this year is possible to make the release including most fixes from the mail-list and the forum OberonCore.ru.
I (or someone from Russian community) will notice it in mail-list when it happen.
