After 7 months of intense development, the NASM team brings you NASM
2.0!!!

This version of NASM supercedes version 0.98.39 (and Apple's 0.98.40)
and introduces full 64-bit (x86-64/x64/AMD64/Intel 64) architecture
and object file support.

We have also addressed quite a few bugs and feature requests along the
way.

We hope you sincerely enjoy the latest version of NASM and what it has
to offer :)
