NEWS for Mercury 0.13.1
-----------------------
This release is primarily a bug-fix release.
The problems fixed include:
* polymorphic insts and mode-specific clauses did not work together.
* polymorphic insts and export pragmas did not work together.
* the compiler was not correctly enforcing the restriction that type
variables in instance declarations should be distinct.
* the compiler sometimes performed superclass reduction incorrectly,
causing it to reject valid typeclass constraints.
* 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.
* non-exported typeclasses sometimes resulted in incomplete interface
files being generated.
In addition to the above bug-fixes we have the following addition to the
standard library.
Changes to the Mercury standard library:
* We have added a new module `rtree', that provides region trees.
These are a standard data structure for querying spatial information.
