Version 5.05 released

Not all the files are there yet but the 5.05 version was released
Friday; I expect that the remaining material will be available over
the weekend.

This is largely a maintenence release, but there are new opcodes and
features.
Anthony Kozar has but together the notes below; I trust we have not
forgotten too much. (I know there is something else…..)
A small additional note; there is now a French manual in the release.
