I've now released version 5.2.1 of Poly/ML on the SourceForge site. This is largely a bug-fix release of 5.2 and incorporates various fixes to the run-time system and basis library. I'll update the release notes on the web site with details of the bug fixes. The functional IO library has been largely rewritten to be much more efficient.
One change that may affect a few people is that X-Windows/Motif support is now turned off by default in the configure script. To include support for X-Windows/Motif specify --with-x when running "configure"
Note: Since the compiler has not changed when you run Poly/ML 5.2.1 the start-up line will still say "Poly/ML 5.2 Release". However poly -v will say something like Poly/ML 5.2 Release RTS version: I386-5.2.1
