-5.3.0
+5.3.1
+
+- Build system
+ - Default "cc" on BSD systems for building CHICKEN to avoid ABI problems
+ when linking with C++ code.
+
+5.3.0rc4
+
+- Compiler
+ - Statically linked programs using built-in libraries are supported
+ again (fixes #1788, a regression from 5.2.0).
+
+- Core libraries
+ - In (chicken process-context posix), the setters for current-user-id,
+ current-effective-user-id and current-group-id now check that the
+ new user/group value is a fixnum instead of blindly passing it on
+ to the C implementation (which would cause bogus user ids to be set).
+ Fixes #1787, thanks to Christopher Brannon.
+
+5.3.0rc3
+
+- Build system
+ - Fix build with tcc.
+ - Fix a few tests on Windows so the suite passes once again.
+
+- Tools
+ - Fix a problem with egg installation scripts on Windows, where the
+ platform was not correctly identified, depending on the shell used
+ during installation of the core system (thanks again to Mark Fisher
+ for reporting and helping in finding the culprit).
+
+5.3.0rc2
+
+- Core libraries
+ - The srfi-17 module now exports the `getter-with-setter` and `setter`
+ procedures, not just the set! macro (thanks to Lassi Kortela)
+ - Fix hang in chicken-install -update-db on Windows (thanks to Mark
+ Fisher for reporting and Jani Hakala for debugging and patch).

- Fixed an inadvertant error during error reporting in the `numerator`
and `denominator` procedures when passed non-finite flonums (#1730).
- Fixed a bug where optimisations for `irregex-match?` would cause

-The symbols returned by the following procedures from [[Module (chicken platform)|(chicken platform)]] are also available as feature-identifiers in all situations: {{(machine-byte-order)}}, {{(machine-type)}}, {{(software-type)}}, {{(software-version)}}. For example, the {{machine-type}} class of feature-identifiers include {{arm}},
-{{alpha}}, {{mips}}, etc.

-In addition the following feature-identifiers may exist: {{cross-chicken}}, {{dload}}, {{manyargs}}, {{ptables}}.
+The following features are built-in and always available by default:

+There are also situation-specific feature identifiers: {{compiling}} during

- The following feature-identifier classes are available in all situations:
- {{(machine-byte-order)}}, {{(machine-type)}}, {{(software-type)}},
- {{(software-version)}}, where the actual feature-identifier is platform
