Hi Andy,
As mentioned on IRC, I bet there are ways to pitch these changes to
make them comprehensible to users. I think you're right to ditch the
second one, but for the first and third:
> ** Guile now uses Gnulib as a portability aid
** Guile now uses components from Gnulib for portability to a wider
variety of POSIX and non-POSIX systems.
> ** Primitive procedures with more than 3 arguments (aka. "gsubrs") are
> no longer implemented using the "compiled closure" mechanism. This
> simplifies code and reduces both the storage and run-time overhead.
** Primitive procedures accepting more than 3 arguments now execute
faster and consume less memory.
Regards,
Julian
