README excerpt:

  This directory contains ttn's personal scheme library,
  a collection of Guile Scheme code and intervening text
  (-: as well as a maintenance methodology :-).

NEWS excerpt:

  - 0.50 | 2008-03-16
  
    - License now GPLv3+ (see COPYING)
  
    - Dropped (ttn html-world) procs: render-html-world, html-world
  
        These were announced in release 0.48 (2007-04-07).
  
    - Dropped module: (ttn METAINFO)
  
        This was introduced in release 0.33 (2004-01-30), but
        proved to be useless.  Sorry, no pre-announcement (see
        "Imminent retirement" below).
  
    - Bugfix: (ttn listener) make-listener regression
  
        A bug was introduced in ttn-pers-scheme 0.18 (2001-04-09)
        whereby the variable holding the current connection socket was
        accessed out of scope.  Caught by "guile-tools lint".
  
    - New configure check: (ice-9 optargs-kw) proc `remove-keys'
  
        This proc originated from module (ttn optargs-kw-utils).
  
    - Benchmarks back
  
        It's been several years since benchmarks were run, partly due to
        slow hardware (200MHz Pentium Pro, 300MHz Openbrick) and twitchy
        release fingers.  Now the infrastructure has been spruced up and
        the files benchmarks/tea-{0.1,2.0} are again being distributed.
        Default iterations bumped 10x for 10 years of progress... :-/
  
        Note: These files will probably not be updated on every release.
  
    - Imminent retirement
  
        As of this release, ttn-pers-scheme is heading towards
        retirement.  This means useful functionality has been migrated
        elsewhere and that after 2008-12-31, the package will no longer
        be available.  See "Future" in the documentation for details.
