guile-lib 0.2.2 -- 2013-01-31
=============================
* Install (texinfo nodal-tree) for Guile 2.0.
* MD5 bugfixes.
* Better errors in Apicheck.
guile-lib 0.2.1 -- 2011-04-03
=============================
* Updates for Guile 1.8.
Some of the compatibility hacks from 0.2.0 broke Guile-Lib on Guile
1.8. Thanks to Andreas Rottmann for the various fixes.
guile-lib 0.2.0 -- 2011-03-26
=============================
* Updates for Guile 2.0.
When compiled against Guile 2.0, Guile-Lib no longer installs modules
that have been included in the Guile distribution. This is an
incompatible change: if you build Guile-Lib against Guile 2.0 and then
use it against 1.8, you will be missing `(sxml simple)' and the other
modules that were incorporated in Guile 2.0.
That said, Guile 2.0 is appoximately 7.1 times as awesome as Guile 1.8,
so you should stop worrying and learn to love it.
guile-lib 0.1.9 -- 2010-08-29
=============================
* Updates for Guile 2.0.
Guile 2.0 has incorporated many modules from Guile-Lib, but all the same
we have to make sure that one Guile-Lib installation works fine with 1.8
and 2.0.
* The default SSAX parser no longer drops whitespace.
We used to drop extraneous whitespace when using the default XML parser,
but strictly speaking, this loses information. Guile-Lib now preserves
whitespace in the resulting SXML.
* SSAX supports UTF-8 output on Guile 1.8.
Guile 1.8 naively treats characters as bytes, not understanding
unicode. Still sometimes it's useful to emit UTF-8 sequences in Guile
1.8, which is what this SSAX does. Note that Guile 2.0 includes its own
SSAX, and handles unicode natively.
* Expose ssax:predefined-parsed-entities
Allows the user to define &foo; XML entities.
* License changed to GPL and LGPL, version 3 or later.
See the specific modules for their licenses.
* Removed modules: (math rationalize), (scheme session), SRFIs 34,35,40
Guile 1.8 and above support rationalize natively. The improvements in
(scheme session) are in Guile now, as are SRFIs 34 and 35. SRFI 40 is
withdrawn, in favor of SRFI 41.
* Removed module (container queue)
Use (ice-9 q) instead.
* Call tree analysis in statprof
Statprof can save away the various call trees that it samples for later
analysis. See the statprof documentation, for more information.
guile-lib 0.1.6 -- 2007-09-24
=============================
* New module: (apicheck).
* New module: (sxml fold).
* Improved support for parsing Texinfo.
* Better automatic documentation via (texinfo reflection).
* Limited support for transforming Docbook to Texinfo.
* Guile-Lib now has API regression tests.
* Bugfixes
guile-lib 0.1.5 -- 2007-08-09
=============================
* New module (container async-queue).
* Fixes for Guile 1.8
guile-lib 0.1.4 -- 2007-07-20
=============================
* First release with NEWS.
* New module (match-bind).
(match-bind) implements a syntax to bind lexical variables to regular
expression match results. (match-bind) also exports two procedures, s///
and s///g, that perform search-and-replace with a perl-like syntax.
* New module (scheme kwargs).
Two new macros are exported, lambda/kwargs and define/kwargs, which
implement keyword and optional function arguments in a manner that is
more intuitive than Guile's standard lambda*.
* Other bugfixes and improvements.
See the ChangeLog for details on changes to (texinfo serialize),
(texinfo html), (texinfo), and (sxml simple).
Version 0.1.3
- Statprof fixes for guile 1.8's numbers
- 2-year-old SSAX updates merged, finally
+ you can make custom parsers now
- Package is autotooled
- Texinfo parser bugfixes
- All documentation is now extracted directly from the source code.
+ Folded this functionality into (texinfo reflect); see
doc/Makefile.am for how this is done
- New modules, written by Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>:
+ (texinfo serialize), allows to convert stexi to texi.
- (unit-test) now doesn't use call/cc anymore. This should provide a
bit of a speed up and prevent Guile segfaults on at least the ia64
architecture (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=291551).
- (srfi srfi-35) now adds condition field names as init-keywords
to the classes created by make-condition-type.
- "make check" now exits with a non-zero exit code upon error.
Guile-Lib is intended as an accumulation place for pure-scheme Guile
modules, allowing for people to cooperate integrating their generic
Guile modules into a coherent library. Think "a down-scaled,
limited-scope CPAN for Guile".
Also, it can be seen as a code staging area for Guile; the Guile
developers could decide to integrate some of the code into
guile-core. An example for a possible candidate is SRFI-35.
* SSAX, S-Exp-based XML parsing/query/conversion
* HTMLPrag, a permissive ("pragmatic") HTML parser
* Texinfo processing, enabling literate programming
* Unit testing framework ala JUnit
* Logging system
* String routines (wrapping, completion, soundex algorithm)
* OS process chains (think "shell pipes in scheme")
* An LALR parser
* ANSI escape sequence text coloring
* Structured text (plain, texinfo, html)
* SRFI-35 (conditions)
