<ul>
<li>
<p>
New platforms.
</p>
</li>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<a href="RunningOnIA64">IA64</a>/<a href="RunningOnHPUX">HPUX</a>

</p>
</li>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<a href="CompileTimeOptions">Command-line switches</a>.
</p>
</li>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Added: <tt>-mlb-path-var '<name> <value>'</tt>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Removed: <tt>-keep sml</tt>, <tt>-stop sml</tt>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<li>
<p>
Improved constant folding of floating-point operations.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Experimental: Support for compiling to a C library; see <a href="LibrarySupport"> documentation</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Extended <tt>-show-def-use output</tt> to include types of variable definitions.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Deprecated features (to be removed in a future release)
</p>
</li>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Bytecode codegen: The bytecode codegen has not seen significant use and it is not well understood by any of the active developers.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Support for <tt>.cm</tt> files as input: The ML Basis system provides much better infrastructure for "programming in the very large" than the (very) limited support for CM. The <tt>cm2mlb</tt> tool (available in the source distribution) can be used to convert CM projects to MLB projects, preserving the CM scoping of module identifiers.

<p>
Added: <tt>may-page-heap {false|true}</tt>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>may-page-heap</tt>: By default, MLton will not page the heap to disk when unable to grow the heap to accomodate an allocation. (Previously, this behavior was the default, with no means to disable, with security an least-surprise issues.)
