 There are now both 'signed' and 'unsigned' variants of the standard library

 Recent Changes to ISPC
 ======================
 
-This section summarizes recent changes and bugfixes.
+See the file ``ReleaseNotes.txt`` in the ``ispc`` distribution for a list
-
+of recent changes to the compiler.
-* 17 May: Fixed a number of bugs related to error handling in Windows*.  In
-  particular, if you use the ``/E`` command line flag to ``cl.exe`` (rather
-  than ``/EP``) when using it as a preprocessor, then ``ispc`` will
-  correctly report the source file position with warnings and errors.
-
-* 15 May: Improved error messages and warnings in many cases.  For example,
-  the column number is reported along with the line number and
-  the source line with the error is printed as part of the message.
-
-* 8 May: ``ispc``'s typechecker has been substantially improved in how it
-  handles ``const``-qualified types.  Some programs that previously
-  compiled may now fail with errors related to ``const``.  For example,
-  ``ispc`` issues an error message if you try to assign a member of a const
-  structure.
-
-* 2 May: "uniform" short-vector types are now stored across the lanes of
-  the SIMD registers.  This enables you to also write classic 'explicit
-  vector' computation in ``ispc`` as well.  This change does change how
-  these types are laid out in memory; see `Data Layout`_ for more details.)
