    variables in instance declarations should be distinct.
  * the compiler sometimes performed superclass reduction incorrectly,
    causing it to reject valid typeclass constraints.
-* parallel builds using mmake now work again.
+* installation of static archives on Mac OS X using mmc --make now
+  works correctly.  Previously, static archives caused linking problems
+  because the table of contents was not being updated after installation.

  In addition to bug-fixes we have the following addition to the
  standard library.
