-Release 2.08 is a bug-fix release.  It addresses some of the bugs
-discovered in 2.07.  A detailed list of changes can be found in the
-Users' Guide.
+Release 2.09 contains some library changes that may break programs
+using glasgow extensions.  The main points:
+
+       * PrimIO has been removed, replaced by IO in all places
+         (including the type of C calls).
+       * The types of IO and ST have changed, to make them more
+         efficient.  This won't bite you unless you go digging
+         around in the IO or ST monads, which you shouldn't...
+       * Several extension libraries have been moved to be
+         compatible with Hugs.  See 
+
+               ftp://haskell.org/pub/reid/libs971028/libs.html
+       
+         for the definitions of the new libraries.
+       * Several of the interfaces exported by GlaExts are deprecated,
+         as they have been moved into common libraries (ST for instance).
+         GlaExts will eventually contain only extensions that are
+         exclusive to GHC.
+
+We've also fixed several bugs, one space leak, and added better
+handling of warnings (-W, -Wall and -Wnot flags).  As usual, see the
+release notes in the Users' Guide for the full story.
