+
+Large file support on OSs that support them (i.e., files with more
+  than 2GB on 32-bit machines).
+
+Gforth can now deal with well with broken pipes in most situations.
+
+Default dictionary size is now 4MB.
+
+vi tags files can be built with tags.fs (usage like etags.fs).
+
+gforth.el mostly rewritten.
+
+S": interpreted use now ALLOCATEs the string (they live until BYE).
+
+Long word names (512MB on 32-bit systems) are now supported (change to
+  the header format).
+
+Generalized prims2x.fs into Vmgen (see README.vmgen etc.); used the
+  new capabilities in prims (e.g., automatic handling of the return
+  stack and instruction stream).
+
+New threaded code execution method: primitive-centric (allows the
+  following), hybrid direct/indirect threaded (easier portability),
+  with dynamic superinstructions (typical speedup on Athlon: factor
+  2).  New engine gforth-itc for dealing with some potential
+  backwards-compatibility problems (see "Invoking Gforth" in the
+  manual).
+
+New image file format.
