19 % NOTE TO MAINTAINERS: the way these notes are organized:
20 % (1) What's new in the current release
21 % (2) What's next ("real soon now")
22 % (3) What was new in previous releases (reverse chronological order)
25 % Remember: this isn't the compiler documentation! -- it's just
26 % pointers to it. Mentioning something in the release notes is not
27 % the same as documenting it.

61 %GHC~0.26 (7/95) was the last major release of GHC for Haskell~1.2.
63 %GHC~0.27 (12/95) was a `` binary-only from-working-sources
64 %no-guarantees snapshot ... for i386-unknown-linuxaout and
65 %i386-unknown-solaris2 platforms...''
67 %GHC~0.28 (5/96) was the same thing, for the i386-unknown-linux (ELF)
70 %GHC~0.29 (7/96), released at the same time as 2.01, is just ``0.26
71 %with bug fixes''; i.e., the current state-of-play on the Haskell~1.2
72 %compiler development.

77 document. Made for a nice long document, but it wasn't that
