*** 1,3 ****
--- 1,101 ----
  
+ 0.5.4 (29 March 2003)
+ 
+       Runtime engine:
+ 
+       * Support for custom marshalling.
+       * DirMethods.CreateDirectory internalcall (Aditya P. Bansod).
+       * Bug in decimal division (Jonathan Springer).
+       * Fix the unpacking of enumerated values in internalcalls.
+       * Re-design method profiling (CH Gowri Kumar).
+       * Inline StringBuilder.Append(char) and Char.IsWhiteSpace(char)
+         because they are heavily used in text processing code.
+       * Modify inline method detection logic to use a table.
+       * Box and unbox "float" and "double" correctly.
+       * Handle typed references for "dup" and "pop".
+       * Stub out internalcalls for "System.Reflection.Emit".
+ 
+       C# Compiler:
+ 
+       * Pipe the output of "cscc-cs" and "cscc-c-s" directly into the
+         assembler, to reduce the need for temporary files.
+       * Add the "-fminimize-parameters" option to the compiler, which
+         removes ParamDef blocks that are set to trivial values and hence
+         reduces the runtime memory requirements.
+       * Re-order static constructors so that explicit definitions are
+         placed last (Gopal V).
+       * Performance improvements to the lexer.
+       * Marshalling information for delegate parameters.
+       * Parser support for Generic C# (no semantic analysis yet).
+       * Generate BeginInvoke and EndInvoke declarations on delegates.
+       * Detect nested namespaces that aren't defined by "using" clauses.
+       * Enforce abstract class and method restrictions.
+       * Don't allow aliases to refer to other aliases.
+       * Fix operator resolution involving implicit int -> uint coercions.
+       * Pointer coercions, casts, arithmetic, and array operations.
+       * Resolve ambiguities between types and properties with the same name.
+       * Fix ambiguity problems related to finding the same method along
+         multiple interface inheritance paths.
+       * Support interface implementations from parent classes.
+       * Quietly skip documentation comments in attribute lists.
+       * Improved error reporting for field declarations (Gopal V).
+       * Read-only variables can be assigned in psuedo-constructors (Gopal V).
+ 
+       C Compiler:
+ 
+       * ECMA-compatibility fixes to the struct output routines.
+       * Better name generation for anonymous structs and unions.
+       * Allow struct's with no fields.
+ 
+       Assembler, Disassembler & Linker:
+ 
+       * Support for Generic IL extensions.
+       * Handle object files generated by Visual C++ a little better.
+       * Custom attribute owner syntax.
+       * Compatibility fixes in the IL assembly support code.
+       * Dump odd identifier characters in octal, not hex.
+       * Use left-recursion to parse ".data" declarations (Gopal V).
+       * Column numbers in ".line" directives.
+ 
+       Documentation:
+ 
+       * Dump attribute and event information from "csdoc".
+ 
+       Loader and Metadata:
+ 
+       * Smooth out the overhead of back-patching to improve performance
+         of NFS-mounted C# compiles.
+       * Load minor tables such as Constant, FieldRVA, etc on-demand.
+       * Performance and data structure improvements.
+       * Support for Generic IL extensions.
+       * Improvements to error messages for unresolved externals.
+       * Report all metadata token errors; not just the first one.
+       * Support for export type definitions.
+       * Shift the name information out of ILClass to support on-demand 
loading.
+       * Recognize ".data" as a static data section in addition to ".sdata".
+       * Loading images from memory buffers instead of files.
+ 
+       Platform Support:
+ 
+       * Updates to libffi for ppc.
+       * Primitives for monitor operations.
+       * Remove script dependency on /tmp because it creates Win32 problems.
+       * Other Darwin-related fixes (Jonathan Springer).
+       * Directory routines for Win32 (Tobias Oberstein).
+ 
+       Csant:
+ 
+       * Handle ".." references in file sets properly.
+       * Base directory fixes for some tags.
+       * Mono-compatibility fixes.
+       * Dynamic library support for Win32 (Aditya P. Bansod).
+       * Mixed-endian "double" support for ARM processors.
+ 
+       Other:
+ 
+       * Begin implementation of a "mscoree" emulation.
+       * More detailed reporting in "ilsize".
+       * Debian compatibility fixes (Stephen Compall).
+ 
  0.5.2 (8 February 2003)
