0.91.0
======
* Update note [important]:
You need to rebuild rep-gtk and sawfish against this version of
librep, because of an ABI-change.
Your lisp files have to be byte-compiled again, too.
* Halfway improved `debug-on-error' and `backtrace-on-error' [Teika
Kazura]
* When you evaluate a closure interactively, the module it belongs
to is printed, too. [Teika kazura]
* Improved functions' docstring support [Teika Kazura]
* New function `subr-structure' [Teika Kazura]
* Major documentation revision [Teika kazura]
* `define-special-variable' is replaced by `defvar-setq' [Teika
kazura]

0.90.6
======
* renamed `file-uid-p' to `file-uid' and `file-gid-p' to `file-gid'
[Christopher Bratusek]
* Minor doc improvements [Teika Kazura]
* improved specfile [Kim B. Heino]
* Process execution failure emits better message. [Teika Kazura]
0.90.5
======
* Byte compiler bugfix in docstring loss [Teika Kazura]
Practical effect: Previously, if a user byte-compile files, then
the docstring is lost in sawfish-config. This is fixed.
Details: Loss of docstring happened only if (1) byte compiler is
not given `--write-docs', so only byte-compilation by user (2)
defvar is invoked within macro definition, including `defcustom' in
Sawfish. Plain defvar was not affected by this bug. It was
because in 'trans-defvar' in lisp/rep/vm/compiler/rep.jl, the
docstring is stored in a wrong property `variable-documentation'.
It is corrected to `documentation'.
Symbol `variable-documentation' is not used elsewhere, including
Sawfish and emacs' sawfish-mode.
* Our own implementation of dlmalloc is disabled since 2002, as it
breaks librep on several architectures. From this version on, we
don't ship it. [Kim B. Heino]
* Our own implementation of alloca/memcmp is not needed, rely on
libcs instead. [Kim B. Heino]
* Majorly improved the debian and rpm packaging scripts [Christopher
Bratusek] [Kim B. Heino]
* Install headers to $includedir/rep/ instead of $includedir/
[Christopher Bratusek]
* Autotools improvements (Makefile, autogen.sh & Co.) [Christopher
Bratusek]
* Added `file-gid-p' function for getting the gid of a file
[Christopher Bratusek]
* Added `file-uid-p' function for getting the uid of a file

All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
PR 26837, plus some pkglinting. Also, change maintainer to tech-pkg
since I haven't run sawfish in years.
0.17
====
* Added `rep.ffi' module (Foreign Function Interface). Uses gcc's
libffi. Very untested.
* Partial implementation of guile's `GH' interface.
* Bug fixes:
- Don't hang in select for a second when starting processes via
the `system' function (race condition that only seems to show
up on Linux 2.6 kernels)
- Miscellaneous fixes for Mac OS X.
- Don't return a reversed list of items from the XML parser.
(Alexander V. Nikolaev)
- Fixes to string capitalization functions. (Charles Stewart)
* New modules `rep.data.trie', `rep.threads.proxy'
* Also added `rep.xml.reader' and `rep.xml.printer', though these
should probably be used with extreme caution
* Appending to queues is now O(1) not O(n)
* Many changes to `rep.net.rpc' module, protocol is incompatible
with previous version. Should be more robust
* `rep.i18n.gettext' module exports the `bindtextdomaincodeset'
function (Christophe Fergeau)
* Slightly more secure way of seeding the rng
* `inexact->exact' can now convert floating point numbers to
rationals (though not optimally). This means that `numerator' and
`denominator' also work better with floats now
* New function `file-ttyp'
* Some random bug fixes
