* Multiple code segments in arbitrary program entities (applications, GLibs,
etc., anything that has a data segment).
* Not yet in this beta, but hopefully in the next one, complete removal of the
32 KB limit.
* New GLib caller stubs that put you in charge instead of using heuristics.
* Much more thought has been put into the theory and practice of A4-based data,
turning it from a bug into the most powerful of all features. You can, for
example, decide for yourself for which launch codes you should have globals.
You can have globals on a find or a beam receive if you need them, for example.
For people still unwilling to embrace A4-based data, A5-based is supported as
well.
* More explicit support for arbitrary custom program entity types.
* Bug fixes and immense efficiency improvements throughout.
* A 115 KB programmer's manual.

Just like all GNU software, they are for UNIX or something UNIX-like. I have
heard about things like Cygwin and Mingw32 that emulate UNIX-like environments
under Weendoze (this is what existing Weendoze binary distributions of older
prc-tools versions use), but I have better uses for my time than playing with
them.
