  HiPE 0.99.2
    New method for loading code. 
    A beam stub-module is created when a whole module is compiled.
    Only implemented on SPARC so far.
  Known problems:
    * The handling of funs in native code is not working 
      correctly. (Problems when having the same fun in both
      native and emulated code.)

  HiPE 0.99.1
    Minor fixes to 0.99.0

+ otp-20010803-1508.tar.gz 
  HiPE 0.99.0
    Almost working x86 port.
    Faster compilation times (Both SPARC and x86).
    Minor bugfixes.
    Included unified heap: 
     Configure with option --enable-unified-heap.
     (Can not be used with native code yet). 

+ otp-20010629-1011.tar.gz
  Better fix to handle erlang:garbage_collect/0 from 
  native code.

+ otp-20010628-1723.tar.gz 
  Quick fix to handle erlang:garbage_collect/0 from 
  native code.

+ otp-20010625-1259.tar.gz 
  As otp-20010625-1115.tar.gz but with a fix to the 
  problem with x86 make.

+ otp-20010625-1115.tar.gz 
  A full snapshot of the HiPE/OTP system version 0.98.1.
  This version supports the binary syntax and floating-
  point BEAM instructions.

  Known problems:
   * Some exceptions are different from those of BEAM, 
     such as function_clause and some concerning funs.
   * In order to handle funs, the BEAM version of the 
     module with the fun must be loaded before loading
     the HiPE version. 
   * There is a subtle problem, probably concerning 
     mode-switching, funs, and GC.
   * (The x86 back-end is included but not finished.)   
     It does not pass make...
