Based on patch provided by Alaric Snell-Pym in pkgsrc-users@. Things changed since the last release (2.5): - Many bugfixes - Better support for Sun's C compiler - Input-performance has been improved - PCRE (Perl compatible regular expressions) by Philip Hazel is now bundled with CHICKEN - Static linking of extensions is now possible (when supported by the egg) - The interpreter warns about references to potentially unbound variables in loaded code and expressions entered on the REPL - The expansion process is traced during compilation and interpretation to give (slightly) more usable syntactic context in error messages - library: * added `any?`, `bit-set?' and `on-exit' - eval: * new procedure `set-parameterized-read-syntax!' - posix: * SRFI-17 setters for `file-position`, `current-user-id', `current-group-id', `process-group-id'; the respective setter-procedures are still available but have been deprecated * `file-stat' returns more information (including device info) * added `process*' - extras: * added `read-string!' - utils: * `apropos' and `apropos-list' procedures - srfi-4: * added `read-u8vector', `read-u8vector!' and `write-u8vector' - srfi-18: * added `time->milliseconds' and `milliseconds->time' - csi: * `-ss SCRIPTNAME' option - csc: * accepts options given in the environment variable `CSC_OPTIONS' * new options `-static-extensions' and `-host' - chicken/csc: * new option `-keep-shadowed-macros' - chicken-setup: * accepts options given in the environment variable `CHICKEN_SETUP_OPTIONS' * allows retrieval and installation of eggs from subversion a repository and the local filesystem * new options `-tree FILENAME', `-svn', `-local', `-revision' and `-destdir PATHNAME' * added helper procedures `required-chicken-version' and `required-extension-version' - Lots of improvements in the CMake build |
