(1) I'm looking at upping the dependency from Guile 1.6 to 1.8, as that will let me remove things from Guile-Lib as they are added to 1.8 and 2.0 (on both branches). An example of this already having occurred is SRFI-34 and SRFI-35, both of which are in master and 1.8. (2) I removed (math rationalize), as its core functionality, `rationalize', has been in Guile since 1.8. (3) I removed (container queue), as it was undocumented, and completely identical to (ice-9 q) besides some naming. I think the only reason that it was in Guile-Lib was because of some ontological namespacing crusade that is not really worthwhile IMO. If we are to clean up and document some of the code that's in `ice-9', we should do so in Guile itself. "Drain the swamp!" :) (4) I committed the important patches that were in (scheme session) to (ice-9 session), on master. I'm waiting for Neil or Ludo to weigh in before merging them to 1.8. (5) I cleaned up all of the licensing blocks, updating GPL and LGPL licenses to version 3+, and clarifying which modules were in the public domain. I'll be pushing to savannah as soon as their admins to a final review, at which point I'll mail with details regarding the web site, etc. I'll be rolling a new release soon. Now would be a great time to re-send those patches that I lost in the past ;) Cheers, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
