@ -15,6 +15,10 @@ Use array->list and array-copy (from (ice-9 arrays)) on general arrays.
Use scm_is_vector instead.
** libguile/generalized-vectors.[hc] has been removed.
If you were including libguile/generalized-vectors.h directly for any reason, just include libguile.h instead.
* Backward incompatible changes

- The _elements functions require the array handle interface even for true vectors, when all of handle, inc and off are unnecessary. This creates a burden (having to declare & release handles, etc).
- The srfi-4 _elements functions don't accept arbitrary rank-1 xxxarray even though they require the array handle interface (inc, handle are superfluous).
** Plan [3/7]
** Plan [4/8]
- [X] Provide scm_VTYPE_(writable_)elements with signature [(SCM) -> pointer] for all vector types.
- [ ] Provide scm_array1_VTYPE_(writable_)elements with signature [(SCM, &handle, ...) -> pointer] for all vector types. These replace the old scm_VTYPE_(writable_)elements but will be available on the array API and not on the xxxvector APIs.
- [ ] Remove the dependence of vector.c bitvector.c srfi-4.c etc. on array-handle.h
- [X] Remove the dependence of vector.c on array-handle-h
- [X] Remove the dependence of VECTOR-TYPE-ref -> array_handle use seen in scm_array_get_handle.
- [ ] Remove the dependence of bitvector.c srfi-4.c etc. on array-handle.h
- [X] Bug: setaffinity in posix.c failed to release the mask handle
- [ ] Bug: scm_bitvector_elements doesn't select for type = bit
- [ ] Bug: bit-set*! already requires second arg to be true bitvector
