Hi Andrey.  Nice work.   Is there is big list of all of the changes
that have been incorporated into the new design?  This change record
would be very helpful.

A minor English language note to avoid unintentional bad puns-- you
might not want to have a filename with "ass" in it.   Perhaps just
spell out  "assembly"?  ;)
