[elephant-devel] 0.9 RC1

[lists at infoway.net]

Hi Ian,

Can't say that I noticed any problems after commenting out the miser-width. Will try to look further as well.

As far as the docs is concerned, not a bid deal. It's just that since I've been offline for such long time and the many changes made in RC1, I wanted to get up to speed as fast as possible by going through the docs first (since you mentioned you guys made significant changes to the docs).

Anyway, hope I'll be able to start contributing more soon.

Thanks,
Daniel
