 <h2>Current Release</h2>
 
+Mercury 0.8.1 was released on December 13, 1998.
+The only change in this release was that we fixed some
+problems with the scripts for building the binary release;
+apart from that it is identical to 0.8.
+There is no need for users who already have 0.8 to upgrade.
+
+Source and binary distributions of release 0.8.1, and
+a patch file containing the diffs between 0.8 and 0.8.1,
