1. Changes
----------
1.1 The anonymous put/get cells are now initialized to 0 at the start
    of every filter run.  Previously, they retained any values left
    over from a previous run.  This may affect the operation of some
    filters that depended on such uninitialized values.

1.2 In Advanced Edit Mode, the symbol table dump is now displayed
    only if the 'Dump SDL' checkbox is checked during the Codegen
    phase.

2. Bug Fixes
------------
2.1 ((rnd))(a,b) can now return any value in the range a to b, inclusive.
    Previously, it always returned a value in the range a to b-1.  Also,
    ((rnd))(a,b) now returns a value in the range [b,a] if a > b.

3. New Features
---------------
3.1 The Filter Factory built-in function ((rst))(n) is now implemented in FM.
    Calling ((rst))(n) sets the pseudo-random number generator to a new state
    which is a function of both the value of 'n' and the previous state of
    the pseudo-random number generator.  The C run-time library routine
    ((srand))(1) is implicitly called at the start of each filter run to set
    the pseudo-random number generator to a fixed known state, so the
    result of each run with otherwise identical parameters will generally
    produce exactly the same result.  If you want the result to be different
    on each run, then call ((rst))(n) with some unpredictable value of 'n';
    e.g., call rst(clock()) to seed the pseudo-random number generator from
    the elapsed time clock; or call rst(ctl(k)) to seed the pseudo-random
    number generator with the current value of control k; etc.

3.2 When importing a *.8bf file, FM now honors Michael Johannhanwahr's
    "Protect" flag in the PARM resource, and will not import the filter
    if this flag is set.  (Plugin Manager 2.0 uses this flag to prevent
    casual users from viewing the filter source code.)
