Yes, that information is out of date. I have a page[1] on GsDevKitHome 
wher information about using Magritte _will_ be found, when the dev 
branch work is released and the Magritte page is updated, I will update 
the link on https://github.com/magritte-metamodel/magritte ...

I've a small amount of work with Magritte and Magritte 3.2.0 is the 
version that I was working with and IIRC the tests all passed at that 
point in time... I see that Sean is weighing in on the discussion as 
well and he is likely the most recent person to work with Magritte and 
GemStone ...

I would say that that is a good place for Magritte/GemStone issues ... I 
keep an eye on the Magritte mailing list and the github project, but I 
may not see issues in a timely fashion, so it is worth pinging me here 
with a link to the issue if you submit one there.
