It is worse in the sense that it changes much more violently. But since we try to be more backwards compatible now, there shouldn't be much harm in doing this. > I don't see the point of postponing releases. You are probably right, we should make more visible releases of the 1.7 series. The snapshots are there, but you can't count them as releases. So, I will complete my string work (moving SRFI-14 into the core, probably), and then make a 1.7.1 release. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
