NEWS since Mercury 0.13.1
-------------------------
Changes to the release numbering:
The release is now numbered according to the year and month the
release was made, eg 10.04 is the release made in April 2010.
Previously the release naming scheme was 0.x where x was the x'th
major release of the system.
Changes to the Mercury language:
* We have removed support for automatic initialisation of solver variables.
