Subject: Guile 1.4.1.117 available

Message-ID: <87iqy4q2y0.fsf@ambire.localdomain> (raw)
release notes:
Cleaning up, moving towards harmonization w/ official Guile.
I figure it is important to start w/ guile-tools reflection,
and encourage official Guile maintainers to add support for
"guile-tools -p" as soon as possible. I may supply a patch,
myself, once i figure out how to handle git + remote repos.
BTW, the atom feed is now more detailed.

NEWS excerpt:
- 1.4.1.117 | 2008-04-26
- bugfix: AF_UNIX filename for socket ops can now be a shared substring
Previously, such ops (full set: `connect', 'bind', `sendto')
would signal a "No such file or directory" error if the shared
substring did not happen to be followed by a #\nul in memory.
- changes to guile-tools
- dropped option: --scriptsdir
- dropped option: --guileversion
- dropped option: --help-all
No Big Deal (these misfeatures were never used internally; a
query to the guile-user mailing list about --scriptsdir received
no responses).
- new option: --probe (or -p)
This allows the idiom:
if guile-tools | grep -q foo ; then
guile-tools foo bar baz
fi
to be condensed to:
foo=$(guile-tools -p foo) || foo=:
$foo bar baz
(presuming `bar baz' evaluates w/o undesirable side-effects).
- new guile.m4 macro: GUILE_TOOLS_PROG
This builds on new "guile-tools -p" support (see above).
A typical usage would be:
# configure.ac
GUILE_TOOLS_PROG([mmc],[make-module-catalog])
# Makefile.am
install-data-hook:
$(mmc) $(GUILE_SITELIB)
- `simple-format' now understands ~a, ~s, ~~, ~%
This is in addition to handling ~A and ~S, as before. Any other
tilde-escape (excluding tilde at end of format string) results
in an "unsupported format option" error. Also, `simple-format'
now signals a "missing argument" error if there are fewer
arguments than tilde-escapes.
Compatibility note: This change brings `simple-format' into line
with other Guile versions.
