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

Summary:
Important bugfixes and minor feature enhancements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Runtime system:
---------------
- Fixed a GC bug that occasionally caused data corruption.
- Improved the heap sizing policy.
- Added a runtime flag that lets the user turn of aggressive
heap trimming. This can improve performance of programs with
very large heaps at the expense of causing a (very slow) space
leak.
- Added support for Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger").
Compiler:
---------
- Added workaround for overloading bug in type checker.
Basis:
------
- Word64.fromString should now behave correctly. (Notice that Word64
is not an official feature. It's current implementation is extremely
inefficient. We provided it just for the benefit of NLFFI so that
C functions that pass long long values can be used.)
- Fixed a bug in the implementation of div and mod for IntInf.
This also fixes a corresponding problem with Word64 and Int64.
Libraries:
----------
- Added a "join" combinator to ParserComb in smlnj-lib.cm.
- Fixed serious bug in new implementation of structure Atom in CML.
- Added singleton function to MONO_PRIORITYQ interface.
- Fixed bug in GetOpt.getOpt.
- Added Atom.same and Atom.lexCompare.
Interactive system:
-------------------
- Added mechanism for re-creating a heap file for the interactive system
after configuration variables have been changed.
Installer:
----------
- Added support scripts for Mac OS X PackageMaker and modified
config/install.sh so that it supports re-dumping a heap image
after customization.
Code generator:
---------------
- Added a gc protocol checking phase. This phase is enabled with
the flag "check-gc". "debug-check-gc" turns on the verbose mode.
