I've updated the version numbers to 1.0.0 and made the following updates to documentation:
Added K8 and K10 to list of processors with assembly support on p2 Section 2, p3 blurb about --gmp-compat Section 2.1 added --gmp-compat to the list of options Removed amd64 and added k10 and nocona to list of host cpus on p5 Expanded blurb about --enable-fat on p5 to include x86_64 Reordered details on p12 about MSVC (web addresses were misplaced) Would someone run their eye over these and check they look OK. In the future we should probably remove all the stuff about build issues, which is way old, and update the info for various systems. We should add a step-by-step guide to building with MSVC and we still say that mpbsd works, which I am not sure is the case at present (though we have a ticket for this last one).
