I am confused about guile versions. I have installed 1.6 thinking
it was the latest stable one. If features are still being added to 1.4,
what is 1.5 and 1.6 for?

Thi is still working with 1.4; he doesn't like 1.6 for some reason.
AFAIK, everyone else making changes to Guile is working on 1.6/1.7.
(But others may still be *running* 1.4, and new Scheme code might be
written so that it still works with 1.4.)

I am confused about guile versions. I have installed 1.6 thinking it
was the latest stable one. If features are still being added to 1.4,
what is 1.5 and 1.6 for?
i "cvs update" from 1.6 (and from HEAD, fwiw) every once in a while to
see if interesting bugfixes, documentation and new features show up (the
cvs commits mailing list seems to have been suspended indefinitely since
savannah was cracked a few months ago), and update 1.4.x w/ the tasty
bits that i find, when i find time to do so.
other people accept those versions as-is for their own reasons. i don't
speak for them, although strangely enough, sometimes they like to speak
for me. it can be very confusing at first glance, i agree. best thing
to do is figure out what features you like and then find and/or build
the system that supports those features. version numbers are labels,
useful at times but subject to misapplication and misinterpretation.
likewise the word "stable". perhaps you know all this already.

ttn decided that he didn't want to use 1.6, and still adds stuff to 1.4.
Most people have moved to 1.6.

In politics you have to understand not where the voters are when a poll
is taken, but where they are likely to end up on Election Day.
