Headed towards a 4.0. The binary format will change slightly but
incompatibly (e.g. renumbering of intrinsics). Having a new GC is
enough of a change to warrant a minor version bump, and it's been 5
years so why not go major.
* GUILE-VERSION (GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION): Bump to 4.0.
(GUILE_MICRO_VERSION, GUILE_MINOR_VERSION): Bump to 3.9.0.

features.
* libguile/scm.h (scm_tc7_thread): Give threads their own tc7.
* libguile/threads.h (struct scm_thread): Add a tag, so that struct
thread can be a SCM directly. Add a struct gc_mutator* member.
(scm_thread_handle): New inline function.
(SCM_I_IS_THREAD, SCM_I_THREAD_DATA, SCM_VALIDATE_THREAD): Update to use
tc7 instead of SMOB tags.

* libguile/gc-internal.h: Move init functions that take "struct
gc_stack_addr" here, so that internal Whippet uses don't cause Whippet
to be added to public headers.
* libguile/gc.c (scm_storage_prehistory): Take struct gc_stack_addr as
arg, and pass to gc_init. Return a mutator pointer.
* libguile/init.c (scm_i_init_guile): Pass mutator and stack base to GC
and thread init routines.
* libguile/threads.c (scm_trace_dynstack, scm_trace_thread)
(scm_trace_thread_mutator_roots): New infra for marking threads in terms
of Whippet API.
* libguile/threads.c (guilify_self_1): Since we don't use a separate GC
kind for threads any more, and thread marking is keyed off
gc_mutator_set_roots, we can avoid some of the gnarly synchronization.
(on_thread_exit): Arrange to gc_finish_for_thread.
(scm_i_init_thread_for_guile): Use gc_init_for_thread.

the current mutator's SCM thread object.
* libguile/trace.h: New file, to declare implementations of trace
routines.
* libguile/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add trace.h.
* libguile/gc.c: Define an event listener that collects basic
statistics, runs C hooks, and arranges to run the Scheme hook if it is
nonempty.
(scm_gc_stats): Fetch statistics from the gathered event data.
(scm_gc_dump): Use scm_basic_stats_print.
(scm_storage_prehistory): Fix indentation.
(scm_init_gc_protect_object): Remove dead code.
(queue_after_gc_hook): Not really needed, as we have an after-GC C event
to run the C hooks. Scheme hook activation is inlined into the event
listener.
(start_gc_timer, accumulate_gc_timer): No need any more.
(scm_init_gc): Simplify hook registration.
* libguile/Makefile.am (WHIPPET_EMBEDDER_H): Define this variable
instead of using -include; otherwise we don't get the chance to set
_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE before including Whippet files.
(AM_CPPFLAGS): Simplify.
(libguile_@GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION@_la_DEPENDENCIES): Explicitly add
libwhippet.la as a dependency.
(noinst_HEADERS): Add gc-internal.h
* libguile/gc-internal.h: New file.
* libguile/gc.c: Include gc-internal.h.
* configure.ac: Add subdir-objects Makefile.am option, to prevent
accidental collision between object file names.

appropriate hooks to the Makefile.
* libguile/whippet-embedder.h: New file.
There is an apparent bug in Windows 11 (not Windows 10) where,
when reading from an fd backed by the Console, a single
return character will always be available.
* libguile/posix-w32.c (console_has_return_keyevent_w32): new procedure
* libguile/posix-w32.h: declare console_has_return_keyevent_w32
* libguile/fports.c [__MINGW32__](fport_input_waiting): ignore return keyevent
Now that Guile uses the posix_spawn gnulib module, several of Guile's
custom w32 functions substitutes no longer work. Some functions
relied on populating and maintaining an internal PID-to-Handle database,
which is no longer possible.
kill, getpriority, setpriority, getaffinity and setaffinity
are removed. waitpid is simplified and does not handle ENOHANG.
* NEWS: updated
* libguile/posix-w32.c (struct proc_record, find_proc, proc_handle): removed
(record_proc, delete_proc, prepare_child_handle, compenv): removed
(prepare_envblk, lookup_cmd, prepare_cmdline, start_child): removed
(kill, getpriority, setpriority, sched_getaffinity): removed
(sched_setaffinity): removed
(waitpid): modified to just use _cwait. ENOHANG emlation removed.
* libguile/posix-w32.h (CPU_ZERO, CPU_ISSET, CPU_SET, CPU_SETSIZE): removed
(cpu_set_t, PRIO_PROCESS, PRIO_PGRP, PRIO_USER): removed
(HAVE_START_CHILD, HAVE_KILL, HAVE_GETPRIORITY): removed
(HAVE_SETPRIORITY, HAVE_SCHED_GETAFFINITY, HAVE_SCHED_SETAFFINITY): removed
declarations for waitpid, start_child, kill, getpriority: removed
declarations for setpriority, sched_getaffinity, sched_set_affinity: Removed
piped-process only uses fork to match legacy behavior, but on systems
that never had fork, there is no need to match that behavior.
piped-process and system* can be provided without fork.
* libguile/posix.c (piped_process): allow function definition without HAVE_FORK,
but stub out internal dummy process with HAVE_FORK
(restore_sigaction, scm_dynwind_sigaction, scm_system_star): don't
require HAVE_FORK
(scm_init_popen): don't require HAVE_FORK
(scm_init_posix): don't require HAVE_FORK to add posix feature or
register popen extension
* libguile/posix-w32.c (getpagesize_w32): new procedure
* libguile/posix-w32.h: declaration of getpagesize_w32
* libguile/loader.c [__MINGW32__](scm_bootstrap_loader): use new procedure
* libguile/vm.c [__MINGW32__](scm_i_vm_prepare_stack): use new procedure
The new non-libltdl foreign library loading algorithm from 3.0.6
fails to cover common cases regarding how libtool names and installs
DLL files. Notably, it fails to recognize when libtool has added the
major version number into the filename itself, such as libfoo-1.dll
Also, it does not search in binary directories and the PATH for DLL
files, where libtool is likely to install DLLs.
This adds the option to search for dlls with major version numbers
in the filename, and modifies the search strategy for DLL-using
OSs to check bindir and PATH.
For MSYS, libraries are installed with the 'msys-' prefix. So this
modifies load-foreign-library to handle that prefix as well.
It changes the #:rename-on-cygwin? option to #:host-type-rename? to
better reflect that is works on both Cygwin and MSYS.
Partially based on a patch by Hannes Müller.
* NEWS: updated
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi: document updates to load-foreign-library
and system-dll-path
* module/system/foreign-library.scm (is-integer-string?): new utility function
(dll-name-match?): new utility function
(find-best-dll-from-matches): new utility function
(dll-exists-with-version): new function that implements new dll search logic
(file-exists-with-extension): add flag argument to allow new dll search
(file-exists-in-path-with-extension): add flag argument to all new dll search
(system-dll-path): new parameter
(lib->msys): new helper function
(load-foreign-library): add new optarg flag #:allow-dll-version-suffix?
Pass new flag to library search functions.
Implement new search strategy for #:search-system-paths? on DLL systems'
replace #:rename-on-cygwin? with #:host-type-rename?
Use that option to rename both MSYS and Cygwin libraries.
(guile-system-extensions-path): prefer bindir to libdir on DLL systems
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test ("dll-name-match?"): new test category
("find-best-dll-from-matches"): new test category
("lib->msys"): new unit tests
Binding to AF_UNIX abstract sockets is not supported on Cygwin and
presumably MSYS as well.
* test-suite/tests/00-socket.text ("AF_UNIX abstract"): throw unsupported
on Cygwin and MSYS
Refactors a couple of the ports tests to catch errors in the test runner,
so that the test suite will print ERROR on failure.
* test-suite/tests/ports.test (pipe:write, pipe:read): modified
Since string-contains returns an integer on success, this test
was reporting unresolved instead of pass on success.
* test-suite/tests/version.test ("version reporting works"): fix
boolean check logic
Fixes a regression in ‘--without-threads’ builds introduced in
b8031fc965.
* libguile/finalizers.c (scm_i_is_finalizer_thread) [!SCM_USE_PTHREAD_THREADS]:
New function.
