This is release 1.0 of of Guile, a portable, embeddable Scheme
This is a nightly snapshot of Guile, a portable, embeddable Scheme
implementation written in C. Guile provides a machine independent
execution platform that can be linked in as a library when building
extensible programs.
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.
Please send bug reports to bug-guile@prep.ai.mit.edu.
Guile is available via anonymous FTP from
Important Facts About Snapshots ======================================
Please keep in mind that these sources are strictly experimental; they
will usually not be well-tested, and may not even compile on some
systems. They may contain interfaces which will change. They will
usually not be of sufficient quality for use by people not comfortable
hacking the innards of Guile. Caveat!
However, we're providing them anyway for several reasons. We'd like
to encourage people to get involved in developing Guile. People
willing to use the bleeding edge of development can get earlier access
to new, experimental features. Patches submitted relative to recent
snapshots will be easier for us to evaluate and install, since the
patch's original sources will be closer to what we're working with.
And it allows us to start testing features earlier.
Nightly snapshots of the Guile development sources are available via
anonymous FTP from ftp.cyclic.com, as /pub/guile/guile-snap.tar.gz.
