- THUD-0.23, released 2001-09-13

  - Configuration looks for guile-1.5.x or later

        This is primarily for module system improvements (in fact, it
        was THUD that originally motivated these changes).

        Unfortunately, Hobbit development has not kept up w/ that of
        Guile, so "./configure --disable-compiled-modules" is highly
        recommended for now.

  - Flop update happens at the beginning of the cycle.

        To simulate parallel flops, THUD keeps two values for the flop,
        the value-to-be, and the current value.  Copying the value-to-be
        into the current value now happens at the beginning of the cycle
        instead of at the end.
