+Release Notes
+=============

 PSPP has the following library dependencies;
 
     * The GNU Scientific Library (libgsl), version 1.6 or later.

+    * GNU diff, for `make check' to complete properly.  (We intend to
+      eliminate this dependency in a later release.)
+
+A few system-specific issues have been noted.  These may be PSPP bugs
+or system bugs; we have not yet been able to track them down precisely:
+
+    * On Solaris, one or more tests may fail `make check'.  We have
+      only seen this reported on Solaris 9 with GCC 3.4.2.  Our
+      reporter says that turning off optimization (with -O0) at least
+      masked the symptoms.
+
+    * On Mac OS X, GCC 4.0.0 build 4061 has been observed to cause
+      some tests to fail.  Later builds should work fine.
+
+Finally, a few extra notes:
+
+    * The Sun WorkShop compiler will not work out of the box in this
+      release.  Use GCC instead.  We will fix this for the next
+      release.
+
+    * GCC 4.x reports an inordinate number of warnings for this
+      release.  You may ignore these for now.  We will fix these for
+      the next release.
