Probably 0.79, because I made the changes to use template-based array
classes shortly after that (back in November of last year).

I hope that g++ 2.6.x will fix these problems, give us a working port
to the Alpha...

The NEWS file that's distributed with 1.0 (or, if you just want the

most of the user-visible changes.  Making a list of exactly which bugs
have been fixed might be a bit harder.
