So rude. ;-) Hehe :) The suggestions are still welcome. If they make 2.2.0, super! If they make 2.2.1, also super :) > * A string encoding that can handle raw bytes > to make Guile more Emacs friendly, as per many e-mails in this > thread.

Yeah pk is nice!!!! It is how I do a lot of my debugging. Silly. The "break when condition is true" thing is totally doable. > * Fix GDB support. I wasn't aware that it was broken but I don't doubt it :) Cheers, Andy
