This is the first Guile release made by the Free Software Foundation.
However, Cygnus Support has made earlier releases of Guile, the most
recent of which is known as `guile-iii'. The present release
incorporates many bug fixes and improvements, but has dropped some
modules that `guile-iii' supported.

Authors And Contributors =============================================
George Carrette wrote SIOD, a stand-alone scheme interpreter.
Although most of this code as been rewritten or replaced over time,
the garbage collector from SIOD is still an important part of Guile.
Aubrey Jaffer seriously tuned performance and added features. He
designed many hairy but beautiful parts of the tag system and
evaluator.
Tom Lord librarified SCM, yielding Guile. He wrote Guile's operating
system, Ice-9, and connected Guile to Tcl/Tk and the `rx' regular
expression matcher.
Gary Houston wrote the Unix system call support, including the socket
support.
Anthony Green wrote the original version of `threads' the interface
between Guile and qt.
Many people have generously contributed to Guile. However, any errors
are the responsibility of the primary Guile maintainer, Jim Blandy.
Mikael Djurfeldt designed and implemented:
* the source-level debugger,
* the source-level debugging support (although the debugger's user
interface is not yet complete)
* stack overflow detection,
* the GDB patches to support debugging mixed Scheme/C code,
* the original implementation of weak hash tables,
* the `threads' interface (rewriting Anthony Green's work), and
* detection of circular references during printing.
Gary Houston did a lot of work on the error handling code.
Mark Galassi contributed the Guile high-level functions (libgh), and
wrote the guile-programmer and guile-user manuals. (These are in the
process of revision.)
