There's been a lot of work by a lot of folks in this release. Quite a bit of
restructuring has happened in order to provide the dynamic loading function,
which is intended to make extending Hercules for new devices and new
instructions much easier. It's been quite a qhile since the last release,
but I think it's well worth the wait.
