There is also the issue of having good replacements for all of gh_. Also, the deprecation mechanism should be made more user-oriented and be controlled with a macro like _GNU_SOURCE. Also also, I promised rms to keep backwards compatability for a long time (and I do agree that it is important). That means that the things that are deprecated in 1.6 and have already been removed from 1.8 need to be added back. I understand that this is an unwelcome mass of uninteresting work and I'm willing to do it myself, of course, eventually... :-/ > I think it would be a good idea to aim for release of 1.8 after these > two components have been added.

We should first complete the points mentioned for 1.8 in tasks/TODO. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
