A week ago, we started the cycle of intermediate releases of 6.2. They can be found on the EiffelStudio development site at http://eiffelstudio.origo.ethz.ch.

I was asked what the benefit of Exceptions as Objects (EAO) was in Eiffel. My short answer was flexibility of design. I knew that this answer was far from sufficient. Now I take the time my machine is busy running tests to think about it deeper and write it down. Hopefully people who are trying using it or starting to learn this area of Eiffel may better understand the mechanism and its benefits.
