+ 0.5.10 (26 July 2003)
+ 
+       Runtime engine:
+ 
+       * Enable the verifier debug mode by default.
+       * Implement tail calls properly.
+       * Enum string formatting (Thong Nguyen, Gopal V).
+       * Run a final GC and finalizer pass before engine shutdown.
+       * Explicitly call the static constructor in the main class (Gopal V).
+       * Add the "-C" option to control the method cache size (Yannis Bres).
+       * Add stack traces to exception objects thrown by the engine.
+       * New monitor implementation (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Prevent the process from exiting until all user threads have
+         been properly terminated (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Configuration switch for object or hashing monitors (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Internalcalls for threading (Thong Nguyen).
+       * De-initialize the GC properly at engine shutdown (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Move finalization to a separate thread (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Use atomic allocation for objects with no GC'able fields.
+       * Register finalizers for atomic objects (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Lock out the method cache while the unroller is running.
+       * Don't create an OS thread until "Thread.Start" (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Work around "va_list" problems under PPC GNU/Linux systems.
+       * Bytecode verifier fixes (Gopal V).
+       * Implement the generic unroller for x86 and ARM.
+       * Internalcalls for "System.Reflection.Emit" (Richard Baumann).
+       * Manual register assignment for PPC (two times speed up).
+       * Change interface dispatch to use Interface Method Tables (IMT's).
+       * Abandon finalization for objects that survive shutdown (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Reuse array types where possible to prevent memory leaks.
+       * Compute the right array offsets for multi-dimensional arrays (Gopal 
V).
+       * Handle "GetType" properly for array types (Gopal V).
+       * Promote primitive types during array references (Gopal V).
+       * Internalcalls for "System.Diagnostics.Process".
+       * Add a "--dumpconfig" option (Gopal V).
+       * Handle nested types properly in the internalcall table (Gopal V).
+       * Look for both ".exe" and ".EXE" file extensions.
+       * Fix stack merging for ternary control flows (Gopal V).
+ 
+       Common Compiler Issues:
+ 
+       * Incorrect code generation for casting "uint" to "byte".
+       * Speed up the detection of "-flatin1-charset" (Gopal V).
+       * Fixes to indirect casting (Gopal V).
+       * Add the "-winforms" convenience option (Gopal V).
+       * Grammar errors detected by Bison 1.75 (Gopal V).
+       * Add the "--version" option (Gopal V).
+       * Detect single-file plugins correctly in the front end.
+ 
+       C# Compiler:
+ 
+       * Some new syntax for calling C# from C - can simply declare an
+         "extern" method inside the "__module" type.
+       * Report errors for "Finalize" methods that are not properly
+         declared as destructors.
+       * Report an error for "override" members with no corresponding 
"virtual".
+       * "unchecked" is required for large "uint" to "int" conversions.
+       * Fully gather a type before moving to nested types (Gopal V).
+       * Handle escape sequences in the C# pre-processor better (Gopal V).
+       * Distinguish '<' used as an operator or in a generic type reference.
+       * Handle NaN properly for relational operators (Gopal V).
+ 
+       C Compiler:
+ 
+       * Flush global initializers between functions.
+       * Remove unnecessary dereferencing in "(*f)()" expressions.
+       * Semantic analysis problems in the third argument of "?:".
+       * Always allow casts to "void", regardless of source type.
+       * Permit "register" to appear in a formal parameter list.
+       * Decay array types are dereferencing with '*'.
+       * Clone all type modifiers when copying a "struct" type.
+       * Don't output type definitions for dangling class references.
+       * Anonymous enumerated types are always replaced with the underlying 
type.
+       * Code generation and semantic analysis for initializers.
+       * Force ".init" to be called from any function that references
+         global variables, so that C# code can call C without going
+         through the Crt0 initialization step first.
+       * Wide character constants and strings.
+       * Fix "sizeof(long double)" to use the correct boxing type.
+       * Fix "sizeof" to correctly measure the length of strings.
+       * Replace the clumsy "__invoke__" syntax with "T::method" instead.
+       * Quote cpp arguments on MacOS X.
+       * Add "error" declarations to the parser to improve error recovery.
+       * Move includes from ${prefix}/lib to ${prefix}/share to be consistent
+         with Debian packaging guidelines.
+ 
+       Java Compiler:
+ 
+       * Wrap "for" statements in a scope block (Gopal V).
+ 
+       Assembler:
+ 
+       * Output debug information for local variables and their scopes.
+ 
+       Loader and Metadata:
+ 
+       * Scope problems - sometimes finding a nested class instead of global.
+       * Move the ".ildebug" section to the end of the image so it can be
+         more easily stripped using "ilstrip".
+       * Forcibly change TypeRef's into TypeDef's in "ILClassCreate" to
+         work around MS'es assembler which outputs same-assembly TypeRef's.
+       * Start adding support for ".rsrc" sections.
+       * Load "ParamDef" tokens on-demand.
+       * Modifications to support "System.Reflection.Emit" (Richard Baumann).
+       * Look for both ".dll" and ".DLL" file extensions.
+ 
+       Linker:
+ 
+       * Properly resolve nested types with the same names by different 
parents.
+       * Initializers and finalizers.
+       * Strip multiple '/' characters from the end of ar member names,
+         because some archives have filenames ending in "//".
+       * Change the default output from "a.out.exe" to "a.out" or "a.exe",
+         to be consistent with gcc.
+ 
+       Platform Support:
+ 
+       * Modify libffi so that it works for both cdecl and winapi.
+       * Always use "LoadLibrary" to load native DLL's under Win32.
+       * Recognize both '/' and '\' as pathname separators, to work around
+         Windows programmers who don't use DirectorySeparatorChar like
+         they should.
+       * Better detection in configure.in for the thread system (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Socket options (Gopal V).
+       * Change "MAX_THREADS" to 1024 in libgc (Thong Nguyen).
+       * Remove "ffitest" from the build because it breaks IA-64.
+       * Move the console input code to "support".
+ 
+       Other:
+ 
+       * Adjust hash tables to use prime sizes for better element spread.
+       * Add the "cssrc2html" program (Jeff Post).
+       * Modify "csdoc2html" to generate href's to "cssrc2html" (Jeff Post).
+       * Update the C ABI and users guide.
+       * Modify "ilheader" to match changes to the C compiler.
+       * Add "ilstrip" and "ilranlib" to round out the toolchain.
+       * All "cli-unknown-*" symlinks to make cscc look like a cross-compiler.
+
