This is a nightly snapshot of Guile, a portable, embeddable Scheme
|
||||
This is release 1.2 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Please send bug reports to bug-guile@prep.ai.mit.edu.

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.red-bean.com, as /pub/guile/guile-snap.tar.gz.

Thanks ===============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
The FSF thanks the following people for generous contributions of
|
||||
their time and talents:
|
||||
- Tim Pierce, for the light-weight SCSH-compatible regexp interface,
|
||||
tracking down Solaris problems, and miscellaneous bug fixes
|
||||
- Gary Houston, for continued work on the system call support
|
||||
- Anthony Green, for help debugging problems on Solaris under Sun's
|
||||
compiler, and general thread expertise
|
||||
- Marius Vollmer, for tracking down bad interactions between the threading
|
||||
system and the interpreter, and improving the way structures print
|
||||
- Bernard URBAN, for making Hobbit work with Guile, and bug reports
|
||||
- Marcus Daniels and Russ McManus, for work on the cygwin (or
|
||||
gnu-win32) port.
|
||||
|
||||
And thanks for bug reports and fixes from Aleksandar Bakic, Thomas

Nightly Snapshots ====================================================

experimental; they will usually not be well-tested, and may not even

compile on some systems. They may contain interfaces which will
