Hello Guilers,

I'm pleased to announce Guile-PNG 0.4.0, Portable Network Graphics
(PNG)[1] library for GNU Guile, implemented in pure scheme:
  https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-png/releases/tag/v0.4.0

This release fixes a bug in implementation of <rectangle> class and
another bug in tests.  Also Guile-PNG updated to work with Guile-SMC
0.6.

The library uses Guile-ZLIB[2] to compress/decompress the PNG data.

Also this is the third project of mine that uses Guile State Machine
Compiler (Guile-SMC)[3].

** Bugfix: Init =position= slot of =<rectangle>= to a =<point>= instance
The =position= slot would be always initialized to a procedure instead of a
=<point>= instance.  Now this should be fixed.
** Bugfix: Setup =graphics= test suite logging properly
** Update to work with Guile-SMC 0.6.0

Very cool! Thank you!

A thought: One Guile can be compiled to wasm (the project by Spritely
and Andy Wingo), that would mean that we’d have an alternative to
canvas: creating PNGs and replacing them at runtime.
