-Guile NEWS --- history of user-visible changes. 2 Aug 1996 -*- text -*-

-
-Guile 1.0b3
-
-Changes since Thursday, September 5:
-
-* You can now run Guile without installing it.
-
-Previous versions of the interactive Guile interpreter (`guile')
-couldn't start up unless Guile's Scheme library had been installed;
-they used the value of the environment variable `SCHEME_LOAD_PATH'
-later on in the startup process, but not to find the startup code
-itself. Now Guile uses `SCHEME_LOAD_PATH' in all searches for Scheme
-code.
-
-To run Guile without installing it, build it in the normal way, and
-then set the environment variable `SCHEME_LOAD_PATH' to a
-colon-separated list of directories, including the top-level directory
-of the Guile sources. For example, if you unpacked Guile so that the
-full filename of this NEWS file is /home/jimb/guile-1.0b3/NEWS, then
-you might say
-
- export SCHEME_LOAD_PATH=/home/jimb/my-scheme:/home/jimb/guile-1.0b3
-
-* Guile's header files should no longer conflict with your system's
-header files.
-
-In order to compile code which #included <libguile.h>, previous
-versions of Guile required you to add a directory containing all the
-Guile header files to your #include path. This was a problem, since
-Guile's header files have names which conflict with many systems'
-header files.
-
-Now only <libguile.h> need appear in your #include path; you must
-refer to all Guile's other header files as <libguile/mumble.h>.
-Guile's installation procedure puts libguile.h in $(includedir), and
-the rest in $(includedir)/libguile.
-
-* The compiled-library-path function has been deleted from libguile.
-
-* A variable and two new functions have been added to libguile:
-
-** The variable %load-path now tells Guile which directories to search
-for Scheme code. Its value is a list of strings, each of which names
-a directory.
-
-** (%search-load-path FILENAME) searches the directories listed in the
-value of the %load-path variable for a Scheme file named FILENAME. If
-it finds a match, then it returns its full filename. Otherwise, it
-returns #f. %search-load-path will not return matches that refer to
-directories.
-
-** (%try-load-path FILENAME :optional CASE-INSENSITIVE-P SHARP)
-searches the directories listed in %load-path for a file named
-FILENAME, and loads it if it finds it. If it can't read FILENAME for
-any reason, it throws an error.
-
-The arguments CASE-INSENSITIVE-P and SHARP are interpreted as by the
-%try-load function.
-
-
-
-This is the beginning of recorded history.
