This bugfix release fixes problems with building the library in the C# grade on Cygwin and with using GCC in C99 (or GNU99) mode. There are also some minor additions to the standard library.
New features in this release include Unicode support,
a new form of memory profiling, and the ability to initialize mutables using semipure or impure function calls. Support for using MSVC as the C compiler has been improved and support for using clang as the C compiler has been added. The Java backend is now compatible with Java 1.7. In addition, numerous performance improvements and bugfixes have been made.
