It has been a while (too long) since the last point release
of MOL. In any case, here it is. Most new features (compared to
the latest point release) has been described in earlier postings.
However, the following things are just a couple of days old:

- The Mac OS installer now detects available disks as it should.

- Mac OS X performance improvements. VSID lookups are now
much faster; benchmarking indicate that the context switching
overhead has been cut by about 15-30% under MacOS X.

- Improved kernel memory handling and resource reclaiming.

- New '--alt' switch added in order to make it simpler to configure
and run multiple sessions.

- Framebuffer caching turned off in Mac OS X.

- It is possible to explicitly specify which xdga modes to use.

For people who run Mac OS X, I strongly recommend upgrading to
the latest MOL version.
