Improvements in 0.8:

    Typeset mathematics is now available throughout the
    application, for both meaningful and non-meaningful
    mathematics.
    * To insert meaningless typeset mathematics, press Ctrl+4 (or
      Command+4 on Mac) and enter any standard
      calculator-notation-style expression (e.g., (x-1)/y), or any
      LaTeX code enclosed in $ delimeters.
    * To insert meaningful typeset mathematics, press Ctrl+4 when
      inside an empty ME bubble, and use standard ME notation,
      such as x-1=10/y).

    A new set of classroom-tested topics has been added to Lurch.
    Based on the free, online textbook "forallx in Lurch," two new
    topics are available.  See the "Choose Topic" menu for the new
    topics, and see the following URL for the textbook.

Special note for Linux users:
    There is no Linux installation script in this release of Lurch.
    Instead we have provided command line installation instructions
    which have been tested on tested on clean Ubuntu 14.04 installations.
    It probably also functions on other Linux distributions, but
    has not been tested there.  Intrepid users should find no 
    difficulty walking through the comments and doing a manual 
    install on their own Linux/BSD system.
