- ``lib/present`` a pruned ground-API library with present tense only
- ``lib/mathematical`` special-purpose API for mathematical applications
- ``lib/multimodal`` special-purpose API for multimodal dialogue applications

decreases quite a bit.
5. Judging from the English implementation, there is a promise to get
a lighter and more efficient resource library, just because of
lessons learned from earlier implementations.
5. The result is a lighter and more efficient resource library, just

Compared to 0.9, compilation times and gfc sizes have dropped by
50% up to 70%.
Version 0.9 is hereby "frozen" to its current state, which means that
extensions and bug fixes are not carried over to it. However, if
requested, we might provide a reimplementation of the old API using

be made some time in March.
BUT WE ALREADY RECOMMEND USING 1.0 INSTEAD OF THE OLDER VERSIONS.
