Dear SML-Evolution Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the release of SML# version 2.0.0 from:

  http://www.pllab.riec.tohoku.ac.jp/smlsharp/

SML# is an extension of Standard ML with practically important
features, including record polymorphism, seamless interoperability
with C, true separate compilation and linking, and native multithread
support on multicore CPUs.

The most notable change in SML# version 2 is that the SML# compiler
now works with the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure.  The new SML#
compiler compiles SML# code including all of the above features to
LLVM IR code and produces native code through LLVM.  More than half of
compilation phases and library modules has been rewritten for the LLVM
support.  These changes also greatly speed up the compilation
processes.

Due to the LLVM support, we expect that the SML# compiler can be
easily extended to a multi-target compiler.  While this 2.0.0 release
only supports x86 platform, we plan to support x86-64 very soon.

Some more descriptions are in the following document.
