They're notable to us, but fortunately many of the changes since the last release are just changes to 1.9 code that won't be visible to a 1.8 user. Anyway, check the NEWS, or if you're too lazy and everything goes well, just check your inbox tomorrow. I should apologize for lack of responsiveness over the last couple weeks. I started poking at uniform vectors, and that code is the badness. It's arrays and generalized vectors and uniform vectors and bitvectors and bytevectors and normal vectors &c &c, and instead of there being some kind of orthogonal exposition of the types, *all of the code calls each other*. It's nutty. Trying to straighten out the mess, the mess pulled me in instead, a big open parenthesis... I have a branch working more or less, but it won't be ready for review for another week or so. Did I mention that the code makes the pun "ra" for "array", apparently to conserve electrons? Anyway, distcheck passes, so Ludovic if you don't mind, the repo seems to be in a releasable state. Let me know if I can help in any other way; I'll be working but online tomorrow should you need me. Cheers, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
