I'm just getting back to Alice after a year or so, and have a few 
questions about 1.4:

-- is there a list of changes from 1.3 posted somewhere? (I've looked 
around the web site, but not too diligently :)

-- equality types are now supported, yes?

-- has there been a change in the semantics of cyclically satisfied 
futures? I believe (?) the following generated an exception (Hole.Cyclic 
or something like that) in 1.3:

   val p:int promise = promise();
   fulfill(p,future p);

now the future appears to be satisfied by a default value:

   (val p:int promise = promise(); fulfill(p,future p); future p) ==> 0

thanks for any help.
