   The new `Field` class contains types representing mathematical

   There is also a new `Round` class for types that can sensibly be
   rounded to integers.  This class has the methods `floor`, `ceiling`,

   The type of `(^^)` is modified to be
   `{a, e} (Ring a, Integral e) => a -> e -> a`. This makes it clear
   that the semantics are iterated multiplication, which makes sense
   in any ring.
 
   Finally, the `lg2`, `(/$)` and `(%$)` methods of Arith have

-## Solver versions
-
-Cryptol can interact with a variety of external SMT solvers to
-support the `:prove` and `:sat` commands, and requires Z3 for its
-type checker. Many versions of these solvers will work correctly, but
-for Yices and Z3 we recommend the following specific versions.
-
-* Z3 4.7.1
-* Yices 2.6.1
-
-For Yices, this is the latest version at the time of this writing.
-For Z3, it is not, and the latest versions (4.8.x) include changes
-that cause some examples that previously succeeded to time out when
-type checking.
