This is the next maintenance release for the 1.6 stable series. You can find it here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.6.2.tar.gz. Guile is Project GNU's extension language library, an interpreter for Scheme, packaged as a library that you can link into your applications to give them their own scripting language. Guile should eventually support other languages as well, giving users of Guile-based applications a choice of languages. This is primarily a bugfix release. Highlights include: - GOOPS longer creates layout entries for non-instance slots. - syntax-case bugs have been fixed See the NEWS file for further information about this release. The Guile WWW page is located at http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html It contains a link to the Guile FAQ and pointers to the mailing lists, among other things. Any bugs found in this release will be addressed by further bugfix releases numbered 1.6.*. The next stable Guile release with significant functional improvements will be version 1.8.0. In between 1.6.x and 1.8.x, you can follow Guile development in CVS and in the Guile mailing lists (see ANON-CVS and HACKING). Guile builds from the development branch of CVS will have version number 1.7.0. Guile versions with an odd middle number, i.e. 1.5.* are unstable development versions. Even middle numbers indicate stable versions. This has been the case since the 1.3.* series. Please send bug reports to bug-guile@gnu.org. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
