(During the 1.9 series, we will keep an incremental NEWS for the latest
prerelease, and a full NEWS corresponding to 1.8 -> 2.0.)
Changes in 1.9.2 (since the 1.9.1 prerelease):
** Global variables `scm_charnames' and `scm_charnums' are removed.
These variables contained the names of control characters and were
used when writing characters. While these were global, they were
never intended to be public API. They have been replaced with private
functions.
** EBCDIC support is removed.
There was an EBCDIC compile flag that altered some of the character
processing. It appeared that full EBCDIC support was never completed
and was unmaintained.
Changes in 1.9.1 (since the 1.9.0 prerelease):
** `scm_set_port_seek' and `scm_set_port_truncate' use the `scm_t_off' type
