  - The glob and regex functions were moved back from system into clib.
  
+ - Added support for highres timers (clock_gettime et al) on systems where the
+   POSIX timer extension is available. The system module provides a number of
+   new functions (nanotime, nanosleep, etc.) to deal with these. Moreover, the
+   builtin time function will now also make use of clock_gettime (or
+   gettimeofday) if they are available.
+ 
  - Worked around some quirks with the MS Access ODBC driver which caused it to
    reject NULL and empty string parameter values in SQL insert statements.
