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

Summary:
   Bugfixes and minor feature enhancements.
Details:
  - Libraries:
- 
    
      - Replaced stub for Array2.copy with an actual
      implementation.
- Fixed erroneous out-of-bounds test in
      *ArraySlice.update.
- Removed deprecated function Substring.all.
- Tweaked the new interval set API (in SML/NJ library)
      somewhat.
- Renamed
      Pack{Big,Little}
      to their correct names
      PackWord{Big,Little}.
- Changed hexadecimal digits to upper-case as required by the
      Basis specification.
- EXene is now maintained by a group of people at K-State:

- Tools:
- 
    
      - Fixed problem in back-trace facility where a spurious
      message about exception ExnDuringExecution would be printed.
 
- System:
- 
    
      - Re-organized the way the compiler refers to libraries such as
      the Basis, various components of the SML/NJ library, and the
      ML-Yacc library.
 (It is now possible to redefine the pathname anchors that normally
      are used to refer to these libraries (for the purpose of pointing
      user code to alternative implementations etc.) without disturbing
      the proper functioning of the interactive system and the compiler.)
