@ -8,6 +8,41 @@ Please send Guile bug reports to bug-guile@gnu.org.
Changes in 2.1.8 (changes since the 2.1.7 alpha release):
* Notable changes
** Update to latest 2.0 changes
Notable this includes the fix for CVE-2016-8606.
** GUILE_PROGS searches for versioned Guile
The GUILE_PROGS autoconf macro can take a required version argument. As
a new change, that version argument is additionally searched for as a
suffix. For example, GUILE_PROGS(2.2) would look for guile-2.2,
guile2.2, guile-2, guile2, and then guile. The found prefix is also
applied to guild, guile-config, and the like. Thanks to Freja Nordsiek
for this work.
