NEWS excerpt:

  - 1.4.1.111 | 2007-09-27
  
    - scheduled for removal: module (ice-9 md-data) by 2008-01-01
  
        This was introduced in Guile 1.4.1.100 (2004-10-22), but is
        superseded by functionality in module (scripts scan-md-module).
  
    - new (scripts scan-md-module) proc: attach
  
        A poor man's (nm(1)-, objdump(1)-, and strings(1)-based) libbfd
        wannabe, this proc does file-format lookup and (if recognized)
        returns a command-delegating closure you can use to mine out a
        compiled module's #:access-info or #:exports-list.
  
    - new (database tmpfile) proc: mkstemp
  
        Return a new port open on a temporary file named using string
        BASE.  The actual assigned filename, available via procedure
        `port-filename', is BASE appended with six random characters.
        For example:
  
        (define p (mkstemp "/tmp/foo-"))
        (port-filename p)
        => "/tmp/foo-hoQtxh"
  
    - new (ice-9 session) proc: set-fancy-repl-prompt!
  
        E.g, to include the current module name in the prompt:
        (set-fancy-repl-prompt! "\n~M ")
  
    - new (ice-9 optargs-kw) proc: remove-keys

What's the reason for continuing 1.4 while 1.8.* is already released?

   while 1.8.* is already released?

one reason is that i can experiment w/o too much fear
of bothering users (-: since there seem to be so few).

It's a pity that people are splitting when the guile user group is
already rather small, whatever the reason..
