+<h1>Nemerle 0.9.2 in the wild</h1>
+<p>
+  This version brings a bunch of new features and of course several bugfixes.
+  We now require mono 1.1.11+ or MS.NET 2.0. About 180 svn commits were done
+  since the last release.
+</p>
+<p>
+  New language features:
+</p>
+
+<ul><li> Generators aka <a href="http://nemerle.org/Yield">yield support</a>
+</li><li> <a href="http://nemerle.org/List_comprehensions">List comprehensions</a> + ranges 
+</li><li> <a href="http://nemerle.org/Extensible_matching">Extensible pattern matching</a>
+</li><li> 'this' can be now used as the full type (including type parameters)
+      of the current class.
+</li><li> Matching directly in function parameters, it is now possible to say:
+<xmp class="code-csharp">
+        def foo (x, (y, z)) { ... }
+        def bar ((a, b), (c, d, e)) { ... }
+</xmp>
+</li> </ul>
+
+<p> Macros: </p>
+<ul><li> New package of profiling macros: http://nemerle.org/Profiling_macros
+</li><li> Extensions in logging macros: http://nemerle.org/Logging_macros
+</li><li> <a href="http://nemerle.org/Design_patterns#Macro_included_in_standard_library">
+   Nemerle.DesignPatterns.ProxyPublicMembers</a> macro has been added
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>  Library: </p>
+<ul>
+<li> New RList module (Random Access Lists as described by Chris Okasaki),
+      by Wojtek Knapik.
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>Other:</a>
+<ul><li> -main flag in ncc for specifying entry point.
+</li><li> Kinda hackish support for ASPX/ASMX in cs2n.
+</li><li> NoiseEHC contributed a fix to MSBuild task, which is necessary for VS plugin development
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>  Bugfixes:</p>
+<ul><li> Always use at least 16M of stack when compiling on MS.NET (should
+      fix stack overflow errors).
+</li><li> Fix foreach on multidimensional arrays.
+</li><li> XSP2 fixes by Kanru Chen.
+</li></ul>
