+Changes made since 2.09:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item export some missing operations from @ST@/@LazyST@.
+
+\item remove wired-in @runST@ from the compiler, move @runST@ from
+@STBase@ to @UnsafeST@ and give it a type signature.  Fix a bug in the
+compiler to do with universal quantification so this actually works.
+
+\item fix cut-n-paste-o in @PosixUtils.lhs@.
+
+\item better code for checking for overlapping(incomplete?) patterns.
+
+\item @-fwarn-simple-patterns@ for pattern-bindings that could fail.
+
+\item win32 green-card stubs imported.
+
+\item fix 'make carries on after errors' problem {\em again}.
+
+\item driver fixed to be perl4 compatible again.
+
+\item obscure happy bug fixed.
+
+\item @Word@ removed from hbc library to avoid conflicts.
+
+\item lots of fixes to the binary distribution system - you can now do
+@gmake binary-dist Project=Happy@ from the top-level and get a Happy
+binary distribution.  GHC binary distributions no longer contain
+Happy.  
+
+\item add some suffix rules for SGML, we can use SGML-Tools for
+documentation now.
+
+\item added an new manual for Happy, in SGML format.
+
+\item added the GHC/Hugs extension library documentation as a separate
+document, and removed that information from the Users' Guide.
+
+\item Fixed a bug where ':::' wasn't being parsed properly in interface files.
+
+\item Fixed a long-standing bug in the strictness analyser.
+
+\item Fixed the cause of the @getWorkerIdAndCons@ panic.
+
+\item Moved the array tests from ghc/lib into the test framework.
+ghc/lib/tests now doesn't exist.
+
+\end{itemize}
