|

|

Changes in 1.9.14 (since the 1.9.13 prerelease):
|
||||
|
||||
** New module: `(ice-9 futures)'.
|
||||
|
||||
See "Futures" in the manual, for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** Add bindings to GNU `sched_setaffinity' and `sched_getaffinity'.
|
||||
|
||||
See "Processes" in the manual, for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** New module `(srfi srfi-38)', External Representation for Data With Shared Structure
|
||||
|
||||
See "SRFI-38" in the manual, for more information. Thanks to Andreas
|
||||
Rottmann.
|
||||
|
||||
** New module: `(web uri)', URI data type, parser, and unparser
|
||||
** New module: `(web http)', HTTP header parsers and unparsers
|
||||
** New module: `(web request)', HTTP request data type, reader, and writer
|
||||
** New module: `(web response)', HTTP response data type, reader, and writer
|
||||
** New module: `(web server)', Generic HTTP server
|
||||
** New module: `(ice-9 poll)', a poll wrapper
|
||||
** New module: `(web server http)', HTTP-over-TCP web server implementation
|
||||
|
||||
See "Web" in the manual, for more information, but as a taste of things,
|
||||
try the following command line:
|
||||
|
||||
meta/guile examples/web/debug-sxml.scm
|
||||
|
||||
Then visit http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser. Let us know how
|
||||
it goes!
|
||||
|
||||
** Better Emacs Lisp implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Brian Templeton's Summer-of-Code work was finally merged in, which
|
||||
should improve the state of Guile's Elisp support. There is still some
|
||||
work to do, so patches are welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
** R6RS fixes
|
||||
|
||||
There were many fixes and enhancements to the R6RS support. Thanks to
|
||||
Julian Graham, Andreas Rottmann, and Göran Weinholt.
|
||||
|
||||
** Expression-oriented readline history
|
||||
|
||||
Guile's readline history now tries to operate on expressions instead of
|
||||
input lines. Let us know what you think!
|
||||
|
||||
** Better syntax errors
|
||||
|
||||
The Scheme expander, Ecmascript compiler, and other language
|
||||
implementations now produce more useful syntax errors. The default
|
||||
error handlers print them out more nicely now.
|
||||
|
||||
** Lots of documentation updates
|
||||
|
||||
In particular, the documentation for GOOPS and regular expressions has
|
||||
seen some work. Unfortunately the code has come too fast and furious
|
||||
for full documentary folios, so some of the new modules are still
|
||||
undocumented.
|
||||
|
||||
** Better pretty-printing
|
||||
|
||||
Indentation recognizes more special forms, like `syntax-case', and read
|
||||
macros like `quote' are printed better.
|
||||
|
||||
** Multicast socket options
|
||||
|
||||
Support was added for the IP_MULTICAST_TTL and IP_MULTICAST_IF socket
|
||||
options. See "Network Sockets and Communication" in the manual, for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** Deprecate `cuserid'
|
||||
|
||||
`cuserid' has been deprecated, as it only returns 8 bytes of a user's
|
||||
login. Use `(passwd:name (getpwuid (geteuid)))' instead.
|
||||
|
||||
** New procedure `reload-module', and `,reload' REPL command
|
||||
|
||||
See "Module System Reflection" and "Module Commands" in the manual, for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** New `,in' REPL command
|
||||
|
||||
See "Module Commands" in the manual, for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** Allow user-defined REPL meta-commands
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is not documented yet. See `define-meta-command' in
|
||||
`(system repl command)'.
|
||||
|
||||
** Add support for unbound fluids
|
||||
|
||||
See `make-unbound-fluid', `fluid-unset!', and `fluid-bound?' in the
|
||||
manual.
|
||||
|
||||
** Add `variable-unset!'
|
||||
|
||||
See "Variables" in the manual, for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
** New procedures: `compose', `negate', and `const'
|
||||
|
||||
See "Higher-Order Functions" in the manual, for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** Command line additions
|
||||
|
||||
The guile binary now supports a new switch "-x", which can be used to
|
||||
extend the list of filename extensions tried when loading files
|
||||
(%load-extensions).
