-          GHC now supports SMP:
-          when you compile with <option>-threaded</option>, you now get
-          an RTS flag <option>-N</option> that allows you to specify the
-          number of OS threads that GHC should use. Defaults to 1.
-          See <xref linkend="using-smp" /> and <xref
-          linkend="lang-parallel" />.

-	  There are significant changes to the way scoped type variables work,
-	  and some programs that used to compile may no longer do so.
-	  The new story is documented in  <xref linkend="scoped-type-variables" />.

-          gives some background, but the user manual should be complete (tell

-          GHC now supports bang patterns to require a function is strict
-          in a given argument, e.g.
-          <programlisting>
-    f (!x, y) = [x,y]</programlisting>
-          is equivalent to
-          <programlisting>
-    f (x, y) | x `seq` False = undefined
-             | otherwise = [x,y]</programlisting>

-          The restriction that you cannot use two packages together if
-          they contain a module with the same name has been removed.
-          In implementation terms, the package name is now included in
-          every exported symbol name in the object file, so that
-          modules with the same name in different packages do not
-          clash.  See <xref linkend="package-overlaps" />.

-        <para>
-          GHC now treats source files as UTF-8 (ASCII is a strict
-          subset of UTF-8, so ASCII source files will continue to
-          work as before). However, invalid UTF-8 sequences are
-          ignored in comments, so ASCII code with comments in, for
-          example, Latin-1 will also work.
-        </para>
-
-        <para>
-          A way to have Latin-1 source files pre-processed by GHC is
-          described in <xref linkend="pre-processor" />.

-          GADTs can now use record syntax. Also, if the datatype could
-          have been declared with Haskell 98 syntax then deriving
-          clauses are permitted. For more info see <xref linkend="gadt" />.

-          There is a new pragma <literal>LANGUAGE</literal> which allows
-          extensions to be specified portably, i.e. without having to
-          resort to the <literal>OPTIONS_GHC</literal> pragma and giving
-          GHC-specific options. The arguments to the pragma are the same
-          extensions that Cabal knows about. More info in

-          When you use <command>ghc --make</command>, GHC will now take
-          the executable filename from the name of the file containing
-          the <literal>Main</literal> module rather than using
-          <filename>a.out</filename>. The <filename>.exe</filename>
-          extension is appended on Windows, and it can of course be
-          overridden with <option>-o</option>.

-        <para>
-          GHC's garbage collector now deals more intelligently with
-          mutable data, so you mostly no longer need to worry about GC
-          performance when a lot of memory is taken up by
-          <literal>STArray</literal>s, <literal>IOArray</literal>s,
-          <literal>STRef</literal>s or <literal>IORef</literal>s.

-          GHC now allows more generalisation when typing mutually

-          The rules for instance declarations have been further relaxed.
-          You are now permitted to have instances whose heads contain
-          only type variables, e.g.
-          <programlisting>
-    instance C a</programlisting>
-          and instances whose constraints are not only type variables,
-          e.g.
-          <programlisting>
-    instance C2 Int a => C3 [a] b</programlisting>

-          By default, pattern bindings in GHC are now monomorphic.
-          This means that some valid Haskell 98 programs will get
-          rejected, but we believe they will be few in number.
-          To revert to the old behaviour use the
-          <option>-fno-mono-pat-binds</option> flag.

-          GHCi already does more defaulting than Haskell 98 so that, for
-          example, <literal>reverse []</literal> shows a result rather
-          than giving an ambiguous type variable error. There is now a
-          flag <option>-fextended-default-rules</option> to use these
-          defaulting rules with GHC too.

-          Linear implicit parameters have been scheduled for removal for some

-          If the program is idle for a certain amount of time then GHC
-          will now take the opportunity to do a major garbage collection.
-          The amount of idle time that is required before that happens
-          is controlled by the new <literal>-I</literal> RTS flag.

-          is needed if you want to increase the resolution of the time
