+** Pure 0.4 2008-06-19
+
+This release features some more bug and portability fixes, a cleanup of the
+source tree and an overhaul of the build system, see the ChangeLog for
+details. Building a separate runtime lib on x86-64 works now (but requires a
+patched LLVM, see the INSTALL file for details). Moreover, it is now possible
+to install different Pure versions in parallel.
+
+An Emacs mode for Pure and support for executing Pure scripts using "shebangs"
+has been added. Paging of the 'list' command is now implemented using the
+program specified with the PURE_MORE environment variable. This allows you to
+disable this option (if PURE_MORE is undefined) or choose any pager program
+and options that you prefer. Define PURE_MORE=more in your shell startup files
+to get back the old behaviour of piping 'list' output through 'more'.
+
+There's also a new syntax for multiple left-hand sides in function definitions
+and 'case' rules, as suggested by Jiri Spitz and discussed on the mailing
+list. Please refer to the manual page for details. To accommodate this change,
+the bitwise operators '&' and '|' were renamed to 'and' and 'or',
+respectively.
