The TempEst Program Verification Toolset
                        Version 1.2, March 11, 1996

=============================== WHAT ===============================

	This is the second public release of the TempEst verification
package. A toolset for the formal verification of safety properties of
the text of programs written in the Esterel programming language. The
safety properties are expressed in temporal logic (propositional
linear time temporal logic).

============================ WHAT'S NEW ============================

Major new features for this version:

	Support for bounded-fairness properties - properties that
	involve the use of one-shot system timers (i.e. real-time
	alarms, operating system alarms, ...). You can now check
	Esterel programs that contain real-time alarms.

	Proper support for the newer file versions of automata that
	the Esterel compiler generates, with enhanced error trace
	reporting and better handling of large automata.
