 Version 2.0.2 (in progress)
 ===========================
 
+2010-10-12: wsfulton
+            Fix unary scope operator (::) (global scope) regression introduced in 2.0.0, reported by
+            Ben Walker. The mangled symbol names were incorrect, sometimes resulting in types being
+            incorrectly treated as opaque types.
