A pre-release of Oscar version 0.9.4 is now available; its version

Yet another minor update to Oscar; the bug fix in the last release did not completely
fix the class loading bug it was supposed to, but I am confident that this update
finally eliminates the issue. See the change log for other
minor changes; this release should be considered the most stable Oscar release.
