+RETRO 12 - 2017.12 (WIP)
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+- Now builds using GCC (thanks to wuehlmaus in the IRC channel for discovering a bug related to the order of linker arguments when dealing with GCC)
+- Now builds on older Ubuntu systems with broken GNU make.
+
+Language Improvements:
+
+- ASCII constants are now using `class:data` (reducing image size by nearly 500 cells and removing call/return overhead when used)
+- `s:with-format` now supports \_
+- Added `s:split-on-string`
+- Added `s:index-of-string`
+- Added `s:replace`
+- Added `s:tokenize`
+- Added `s:tokenize-on-string`
+
+Interfaces:
+
+- *RRE* has significant improvements.
+
+	- a `unix:` namespace with access to system-specific functionality:
+
+		- `unix:system`
+		- `unix:popen`
+		- `unix:pclose`
+		- `unix:fork`
+		- `unix:wait`
+		- `unix:exec0`
+		- `unix:exec1`
+		- `unix:exec2`
+		- `unix:exec3`
+		- `unix:getpid`
+		- `unix:kill`
+		- `unix:getenv`
+		- `unix:putenv`
+		- `unix:chdir`
+		- `unix:write`
+		- `unix:sleep`
+
+	- Additions to `f`:
+
+		- `f:sin`
+		- `f:cos`
+		- `f:tan`
+
+	- Addtions to `file`:
+
+		- `file:spew`
+
+	- Interactive mode when launched with `-i`:
+
+    rre -i
+
+	- `bin/listener` now uses `rre` directly and no longer has to copy the RETRO code into a temporary file.
+
+Documentation:
+
+- Added a `Building.md` with some notes on the build process.
+- Fixed formatting issues in the `LICENSE.md` (thanks to Mateusz Piotrowski)
+- Build now uses a shell script instead of multiple Makefiles
+- Added a database (tab separated data) of the words
+- Added a `glossary` tool to search, edit, and extract data from the words database
+
+Examples:
+
+- Added `edit.forth`, a functional text/code editor
