                                WARNING
        This working version is believed to be stable, but
        we have not run our full regression-test suite.

Summary:
    This release is primarily a bugfix release.
Details:
  - installer:
- 
    
      - Eliminated any mention of lexgen.  (Lexgen was an early precursor
	to ml-ulex.)
 
- command-line tools
- 
    
      - 
	Fixed typo in ml-build script that prevented library anchors
	from being registered.
      
 
- SML Basis library:
- 
    
      - 
	Fixed a number of inconsistencies between the Posix.TTY structure
	and the Basis specification.  Thanks to Adam Chilpala.
      
 
- CM:
- 
    
      - 
	Fixed bug in CM's parallel make facility that failed to have
	the master re-link modules after letting slaves compile them.
      
 
- MLRISC:
- 
    
      - 
	x86MCEmitter crashed when the immediate operand to MOVB was outside
	of the range -128 ... 127.   Only the low order 8 bits of the
	immediate operand are now significant.
      
- 
	Added preliminary support in MLRISC for Staged Allocation, a technique
	for specifying calling conventions.  See
	
		
		http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/pubs/staged-abstract.html
	 Initially, this mechanism is being used to generate C calls for the
	AMD64.
- 
	Fixed bogus operand sizes in AMD64 instruction spilling.
      
 
runtime:
      - Fixed a problem with files that have very large numbers of literals.
	When SaveCState was called with two values to save, a subsequent
	GC could cause the RestoreCState to fail because the saved state had been
	promoted to tagless pair.
