changes:

    there is no enclosing scope on nested design components
        [i.e. @DECOMPOSITION (Foo.Bar) is now simply
         @DECOMPOSITION (Bar)]. This is not how it is explained
         in the course.

    in generic PDL entry exercise:

        after semanticizing after doing second PDL Complete:
            many errors come up: the instructions refer to a SINGLE error
            "prompt illegal for" message has been changed to "Prompt is not
                permitted for the ________________ annotation."
        instructions tell students to fill in prompts with "NONE." instead
            of "NONE"
        after deleting annotation, the error message is "The __________ 
            annotation must be specified." instead of "No ________
            annotation specified"
        after adding @ALGORITHM annotation, the error message is "The ________
            annotation is not permitted here." rather than "__________
            annotation not permitted"
        prompting for PDL Complete resolves to Design_Implementation.Complete,
            not Design.Complete
        step 28.a. is not generic--talks about "use" clause
    
    summary exercise:
        page 115 5.a change "unsatisfied" to "unallocated"
        page 116 delete "The log will..." instructor note 4
        page 117 4 needs @DESCRIPTION, @SOURCE, and @DESTINATION annotations
        page 120 4.c. @LIMITATIONS annotation should not be there

    we need to teach them about activity-relative traversal

    diagram of transaction processor needs second "add money" loop which leaves
        and enters the "accumulating transaction" bubble

bugs:

    multiple @REQUIREMENT annotations currently don't work, so one of
        the traversals in the exercises does not work (supposed to be
        fixed in next release)
    traversal within a CSCI is activity-dependent, so instructions on
        summary exercise do not work (supposed to be fixed in next
        release)
    incremental compilation is very fragile, and it is used in some
        of the exercises, resulting in errors
