                                 WARNING

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

Summary:

     Support for Mac OS X on Intel machines, new directory layout,
     subversion-based source repository, preliminary amd64 support
     in MLRISC and backend, new code generator tools (ml-ulex, ml- 
antlr).

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--

MLRISC:

   - support for AMD64 added (not yet thoroughly tested)

compiler:

   - preliminary hook-up of AMD64 backend

runtime:

   - worked around problem with signal delivery on Intel-based Macs

ml-lpt ("language processing tools"):

   - two new tools: ml-ulex, ml-antlr
   - ml-ulex: lexer generator with unicode support
   - ml-antlr: ANTLR-inspired LL(k) parser generator
   - first public release; still "beta" quality

source repository:

   - the SML/NJ sources are now hosted at smlnj-gforge.cs.uchicago.edu
   - the revision control system is now subversion
   - the project name is "smlnj"
   - source code available via anonymous svn from
       svn://smlnj-gforge.cs.uchicago.edu/smlnj
   - source code (directory-) tree has new layout

scripts:
   - scripts adjusted to deal with new directory layout
   - three scripts for simplifying svn access added:
       check out svn://smlnj-gforge.cs.uchicago.edu/smlnj/admin
     and put it on your shell's PATH
   - use checkout-all.sh to get a fresh copy of the sources
   - refresh-all.sh: perform "svn update" on each source (sub-)tree
   - stat-all.sh: perform "svn stat" on each source (sub-)tree
   - see HISTORY file for details on new layout
