+Tag: blume-20020129-INSTALL
+Description:
+
+- Added somewhat detailed installation instructions (file INSTALL).
+- Fixed curl-detection bug in config/install.sh.
+- It is now possible to select the URL getter using the URLGETTER
+  environment variable:
+
+      not set / "unknown"      --> automatic detection (script tries wget,
+                                   curl, and lynx)
+      "wget" / "curl" / "lynx" --> use the specified program (script "knows"
+                                   how to properly invoke them)
+      other                    --> use $URLGETTER directly, it must take
+                                   precisely two command-line arguments
+                                   (source URL and destination file name)

+Description:
+
+John Reppy:  Changes c-calls API to accept client-callback for
+allocating extra stack space.
+me: Corresponding changes to mlriscGen (using a dummy argument that
+    does not change the current behavior).

+Tag: blume-20020128-retraction
+Description:
+
+0. Retracted earlier 110.38.  (The Release_110_38 tag has been replaced
+   with blume-Release_110_38-retracted.)
+
+1. Fixed a problem with incorrect rounding modes in real64.sml.
+   (Thanks to Andrew Mccreight <andrew.mccreight@yale.edu>.)
+
+2. A bug in ml-nlffigen related to the handling of unnamed structs, unions,
+   and enums fixed.  The naming of corresponding ML identifiers should 
+   now be consistent again.

+Description:
+
+   Added a target called nowhere in the configuration scripts.
+   Enabling this will build the MLRISC 'nowhere' tool (for translating 
+   programs with where-clauses into legal SML code) during installation.

+Tag: blume-20020125-ffi
+Description:
+
+A large number of tweaks and improvements to ml-nlffi-lib and
+ml-nlffigen:
+
+   - ML represenation types have been streamlined
+   - getter and setter functions work with concrete values, not abstract
+     ones where possible
+   - ml-nlffigen command line more flexible (see README file there)
+   - some bugs have been fixed (hopefully)

+Description:
+
+   There is a dramatic simplification in the interface to the
+   register allocator for RISC architectures as a result of making 
+   parallel copy instructions explicit.

+
+Bug fix for c-calls on x86 (having to do with how char- and
+short-arguments are being handled).

+Tag: blume-20020121-ff
+Description:
+
+Another day of fiddling with the FFI...
+
+1. Bug fix/workaround:  CKIT does not complain about negative array
+   dimensions, so ml-nlffigen has to guard itself against this possibility.
+   (Otherwise a negative dimension would send it into an infinite loop.)
+
+2. Some of the abstract types (light objects, light pointers, most "base"
+   types) in structure C are now eqtypes.
+
+3. Added constructors and test functions for NULL function pointers.

+Description:
+
+Made config/srcarchiveurl point to a new place.  (Will provide boot
+files shortly.)
+
+Maybe we christen this to be 110.38?

+Tag: blume-20020118-more-ffifiddle
+Description:
+
+Today's FFI fiddling:
+
+  - Provided a structure CGetSet with "convenient" versions of C.Get.* and
+    C.Set.* that use concrete (MLRep.*) arguments and results instead
+    of abstract ones.
+
+  - Provided word-style bit operations etc. for "int" representation
+    types in MLRep.S<Foo>Bitops where <Foo> ranges over Char, Int, Short,
+    and Long.

+Tag: blume-20020118-use-x86-fp
+Description:
+
+Now that x86-fast-fp seems to be working, I turned it back on again
+by default.  (Seems to work fine now, even with the FFI.)
+
+Other than that, I added some documentation about the FFI to
+src/ml-nlffigen/README and updated the FFI test examples in
+src/ml-nlffi-lib/Tests/*.

+Tag: leunga-20020117-x86-fast-fp-call
+Description:
+
+   1. Fixed a problem with handling return fp values when x86's fast fp
+      mode is turned on.  
+
+   2. Minor pretty printing fix for cellset.  Print %st(0) as %st(0) instead
+      of %f32.
+
+   3. Added a constructor INT32lit to the ast of MLRISC tools.
