@@ -387,6 +389,12 @@ September, 1999; by Barrie Slaymaker: math fixes and accuracy and
 efficiency tweaks.  Added cmpthese().  A result is now returned from 
 timethese().  Exposed countit() (was runfor()).
 
+December, 2001; by Nicholas Clark: make timestr() recognise the style 'none'
+and return an empty string. If cmpthese is calling timethese, make it pass the
+style in. (so that 'none' will suppress output). Make sub new dump its
+debugging output to STDERR, to be consistent with everything else.
+All bugs found while writing a regression test.
