Bug fixes, including, but not limited to:
the core (centralized) system
distribution subsystem
constraint solving facilities
Oz debugger (ozcar)
the Windows port
various memory leaks
All in all, a lot of them. Really a lot.. The system is used now for a series of our projects, as well as for projects outside the Mozart consortium, and also for teaching at all our three sites. Have also a look at http://www.mozart-oz.org/cgi-bin/oz-bugs/FIXED
Oz programs can reference now up to 2GB of live data on a computer with the 32bit address space, compared to .5GB for all the previous releases.
New supported platforms - linux ppc & pentium 4.
The distribution subsystem has been improved, in particular, as the traffic between Mozart sites increases. In extreme cases the win is up to orders of magnitude.
Unfortunately, the inter-site communication over shared memory (property 'distribution.virtualsites', see also Chapter 13 of ``System Modules'' is currently inoperable. We are working on bringing it back in the next release. This is caused by extensive changes in the implementation of the distribution subsystem, as outlined in Section 10.3.
