I've started working on the next release. It's still a week out.
I'm working on the "What's new?" section of the website. Here's my
current list.
<ul>
<li>MLton now runs on Cygwin/Windows.
<li>There have been several additions to the <tt>MLton</tt> structure:
<tt>Exn</tt>, <tt>IntInf</tt>, <tt>Process</tt>, <tt>Profile</tt>.
<li>MLton now supports full length arrays (provided there is
enough memory). That is, <tt>Array.maxLen</tt> is <tt>2^31 - 1</tt>.
<li>MLton's runtime system can now use large amounts of memory (up to 4G),
including more than the available RAM.
<li>Many command-line switches have been changed to be more regular,
and some have been removed.
<li>MLton no longer supports <tt>_prim</tt> for defining compile-time
constants.
<li>There were several bug fixes for type inference of flexible record
patterns.
</ul>
Any corrections or additions?
