+This release is primarily a bug-fix release.  
+It fixes some bugs with the binary distribution of 0.9,
+stops the compiler accepting some incorrect inst declarations,
+a bug in exception handling, and fixes a problem with the source
+distribution where `configure' did the wrong thing on some architectures
+if you ran it twice.

+In addition, Morphine has been added to the extras distribution.
+Morphine is a trace analysis system, which allows Mercury programs to be
+debugged and dynamically analyzed using a Prolog interface.  You need
+the ECLiPSe Prolog system to use Morphine.  See the README file in the
+Morpine directory for more details.
