Hi Guilers!
I'd like to release 1.8.3 soonish, i.e., this week-end or next week. I
can take care of it if no-one disagrees.
The current `NEWS' excerpt is already quite large:
Changes in 1.8.3 (since 1.8.2)
* New modules (see the manual for details)
** `(srfi srfi-35)'
** `(srfi srfi-37)'
* Bugs fixed
** The `(ice-9 slib)' module now works as expected
** Expressions like "(set! 'x #t)" no longer yield a crash
** Warnings about duplicate bindings now go to stderr
** A memory leak in `make-socket-address' was fixed
** Alignment issues (e.g., on SPARC) in network routines were fixed
** A threading issue that showed up at least on NetBSD was fixed
** Build problems on Solaris fixed
* Implementation improvements
** The reader is now faster, which reduces startup time
** Procedures returned by `record-accessor' and `record-modifier' are faster
If you think of news items that were omitted, or critical bugs that
haven't been fixed, please send a message. I'll look into the pthreads
"braces around initializer" issue (Solaris/IRIX), too.
Thanks,
Ludovic.
