-          This is a stable release.  Note that gnustep-core is now installed in 
-	  the LOCAL domain by default instead of the SYSTEM domain. You may 
-	  want to remove old installations in the SYSTEM domain to avoid 
-	  any incompatibility problems.
-	  Or you can force installation in SYSTEM using make
-	  GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install.

+          instead of the SYSTEM domain. You may want to remove old
+          installations in the SYSTEM domain to avoid any

 	Highlights:
 	<deflist>
+	  <term>NSBundle</term>
+          <desc>Improve lookup of versioned library resources and improve
+	  location of resources based on the location of the executable
+	  under ms-windows.
+          </desc>
 	  <term>NSConnection</term>
-	  <desc>Keepalive is only enabled on mswindows and for server
-	  connections using NSMessagePort.
+          <desc>Adds a new keepalive mechanism to check connections at periodic
+	  intervals to see if the other end is still there.  This is enabled
+	  for message ports on ms-windows, where the operating system does
+	  not inform us when the other end goes away, and is not needed on
+	  the socket based connections on Unix.
+          </desc>
+	  <term>NSDate</term>
+          <desc>Implement keyed archiving.
+          </desc>
+	  <term>NSException</term>
+          <desc>Implement full support for native objecive-c exceptions,
+	  though this requires a fix for the objc runtme which is not yet
+	  available in gcc.  The patch for the runtime can be found at
+	  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27466
+          </desc>

+	  <term>NSTask</term>
+          <desc>Adds a new method in a category in the Additions library ...
+	  The +launchPathForTool: method will locate a named tool by looking
+	  in all the standard locations in the USER, LOCAL, NETWORK and
+	  SYSTEM domains, and also by looking in PATH.
+          </desc>

+          <desc>Adds undocumented MacOS-X support of KVC methods.
+	  </desc>
