Titaniumc version 0.609 is now available.  This is a bug fixing
release; while the compiler internals have changed in numerous ways,
few new features are visible to the end user.  Significant changes
since the last public release include:

  * new features

    - for off-site users, more flexible configuration of the name and
      location of the Split C runtime library

    - partial port of the core "tc" compiler to C++ compilers other
      than G++.  This is a work in progress.

  * selected bug fixes

    - fix multiplication and division of domains by points that
      contain negative components (PR #170)
      
    - generally improved stability of generated C code when compiled
      using Sun's WorkShop Pro C compiler instead of GCC

    - avoid crashing upon termination of a Linux / POSIX threads
      executable (PR #172)

    - avoid certain potential deadlocks in the distributed
      implementation of "synchronized" monitor locks

    - generate correct code for short-circuiting logical operators
      (&&, ||) with constant operands (PR #173)

    - throw a NullPointerException when dispatching to a method that
      is nonstatic but statically bound (PR #177)

    - generate correct code for calling static methods with overloaded
      nonstatic methods present in the same class (PR #179)
