-The NEWS file is quite long. Here are the most interesting entries:
-
- Changes since 1.6:
-
- * Guile is now licensed with the GNU Lesser General Public License.
-
- * The manual is now licensed with the GNU Free Documentation License.
-
- * We now use GNU MP for bignums.
-
- * We now have exact rationals, such as 1/3.
-
- * We now use native POSIX threads for real concurrent threads.
-
- * There is a new way to initalize Guile that allows one to use Guile
- from threads that have not been created by Guile.
-
- * Mutexes and condition variables are now always fair. A recursive
- mutex must be requested explicitly.
-
- * The low-level thread API has been removed.
-
- * There is now support for copy-on-write substrings and
- mutation-sharing substrings.
-
- * A new family of functions for converting between C values and
- Scheme values has been added that is future-proof and thread-safe.
-
- * The INUM macros like SCM_MAKINUM have been deprecated.
-
- * The macros SCM_STRINGP, SCM_STRING_CHARS, SCM_STRING_LENGTH,
- SCM_SYMBOL_CHARS, and SCM_SYMBOL_LENGTH have been deprecated.
-
- * There is a new way to deal with non-local exits and re-entries in
- C code, which is nicer than scm_internal_dynamic_wind.
-
- * There are new malloc-like functions that work better than
- scm_must_malloc, etc.
-
- * There is a new way to access all kinds of vectors and arrays from
- C that is efficient and thread-safe.
-
- * The concept of dynamic roots has been factored into continuation
- barriers and dynamic states.
