   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.
