+NEWS for Mercury 14.01.2, not released
+--------------------------------------
+
+This is a bug-fix release.
+
+* Fix array.sort, which has been buggy since 2001. You may wish to
+  reference array.sort_fix_2014 to ensure that you using the fixed version.
+* Fix the handling of nondet code by the auto-parallelisation analysis in
+  mdprof_create_feedback. (Bug #364)
+* Fix string.between_codepoints so that the clamping of start/end points
+  works as documented.
+
+
+NEWS for Mercury 14.01.1, 8 September 2014
+------------------------------------------
+
+This is a bug-fix release.
+
+* The function string.string/1 and related functions now handle version
+  arrays properly.
+* Fix resource leaks in dir fold predicates.
+* The mfilterjavac program is now generated with the correct file extension
+  on Windows.
+* A problem that caused compilation of the Boehm GC to fail on 64-bit
+  openSUSE 13.1 systems has been fixed. (Github issue #14)
+* The documentation now builds correctly on Cygwin systems.
+* The script configure_mingw_cross now supports 64-bit Windows targets.
+* We have added workarounds for problems with (arguably broken)
+  system headers on MinGW and MinGW64 systems.
+* The MinGW port now builds in the absence of POSIX threads library.
+* Low-level C parallel grades now work on Windows instead of crashing
+  at startup. (Bug #338)
+* We now use thread-safe alternatives to strerror(). (Bug #340)
+* We have added the configure option --enable-gc-mmap.
+* We configure Boehm GC to use mmap in threaded grades on Linux to avoid
+  conflicts with glibc malloc leading to memory corruption.
+* A problem that caused string.format/[23] to sometimes return incorrect
+  results when formatting floats with the 'g' conversion specifier has
+  been fixed. This bug only affected the non-C backends. (Bug #342)
+* string.format now handles special float values (i.e. nan, inf,  and -inf)
+  correctly with the non-C backends.
+* A bug that caused io.write_float/[34] to append ".0" to float special values
+  has been fixed. This bug affected the C and C# backends.
+* In the C# and Java grades, the predicate string.from_char_list now
+  implements the documented behaviour for input lists containing null
+  characters (i.e. it throws an exception).
+  Likewise, for string.from_reverse_char_list in the C# grade.
+* We have fixed a problem that caused `mmc --make' to attempt to install
+  libraries in non-existent grades.
+
+Changes to the Mercury compiler:
+
+* The compiler now supports stripping of executables in a separate
+  post-link step. The new options, --strip-executable-command,
+  --strip-executable-shared-flags and --strip-executable-static-flags
+  are used to control this.
+  (This is now the default on Mac OS X systems.)
+
+
+NEWS for Mercury 14.01, 10 February 2014
+----------------------------------------
+
+Changes to the Mercury language:
+
+* Repeated type variables may now occur in the heads of type class instances.
+  For example, instance declarations like the following are now allowed:
+
+      :- instance foo(list(T), map(T, T)).
+
+Changes to the Mercury standard library:
+
+* We have added the function cord.condense/1.
+
+* The following functions in the standard library's cord module now use
+  constant stack space: foldl/3, foldl_pred/4.
+
+* We have added the following predicates to the array and version_array
+  modules: is_empty/1, all_true/2 and all_false/2.
+
+* We have added the following predicates and functions to the map module:
+  det_min_key/1, det_max_key/1, foldl2_values/6 and foldl3_values/8.
+
+* We have added the following predicates to the list module: foldr2/6,
+  foldr3/8, det_take/3 and map_foldr/5.
+
+* We have added the following predicates to the bag module:
+  foldl/4, foldl2/6, and to_list_only_duplicates/2. The predicates
+  old union/3, intersect/3, least_upper_bound/3 and subtract/3 all had
+  complexities that depended strongly on the size of their second argument,
+  and much more weakly on the size of their first argument. We have renamed
+  these to union_small/3, intersect_small/3, least_upper_bound_small/3 and
+  subtract_small/3 respectively, and replaced them with new implementations
+  of the original four predicates whose complexity is proportional to
+  the total size of the two input arguments.
+
+* We have added the following predicates to the assoc_list module:
+  foldl2_values/6 and foldl3_values/8.
+
+* We have added the following predicates and functions to the pqueue module:
+  is_empty/1, peek/3, peek_key/2, peek_value/2, det_peek/3, merge/3,
+  det_peek_key/1 and det_peek_value/1.
+
+* We have added the predicate bimap.equal/2.
+
+* We have added the following predicates to the int module: fold_up3/9 and
+  fold_down3/9.
+
+Changes to the Mercury compiler:
+
+* On Mac OS X systems the compiler is now configured use the version of the
+  host system as the default value for the deployment target.
+
+  A new configuration option, `--with-macosx-deployment-target', allows
+  an alternative value to be selected at configuration time.
+
+Portability improvements:
+
+* We have made the implementation compatible with GCC 4.8 and Visual Studio
+  2013.
+
+* We have made the implementation compatible with OS X 10.9.
+
+Changes to the extras distribution:
+
+* We've added a library that provides support for accessing the function
+  trail from Mercury code.
