- Code garbage collection bug fixed (bug 389).

- Bug in `FD.exactly` fixed, thanks again to Benko Tamas (bug 378)

- Bug in documentation of `Append` fixed (bugs 331, 372)

- Several fixes in unification (bugs 337)

### 8.2.2 Windows

- Executable functors are now fully supported under Windows.

- More contributions have been made available. In particular the native functors for the regex and gdbm modules have now been built.

- Subprocesses started from Mozart do not open new console windows.

- Mozart is no longer confused by other programs such as `fortify` by a complete redesign of the communication between Mozart and Tk (bug 338).

- Temporary files are put under `C:\TEMP` by default (instead of `C:\`). Creating many files directly under `C:\` made Windows NT freeze.

- `ozd` now looks in the registry to see whether it can figure out where Emacs is installed. Furthermore, `ozd` depended upon `bash` as command interpreter to start Emacs - now it also works with `command.com` and `cmd.exe`.

### 8.2.3 Linux

- Memory management for Linux 2.2.x fixed (bugs 391, 403).

### 8.2.4 Other Platforms

- Initial support for Mac OS X.

- Compiles under FreeBSD (Bug 393).
