-4.4.5
++4.5.0
+
+ - certain compiler-warnings that are in really just notes
+ and don't indicate a possible error (like reimport of
+ identifiers) are only shown with -S or in verbose mode
+ - fixed handling of VARDIR in `chicken-install' (thanks to
+ Davide Puricelli)
+ - `chicken-install -test' doesn't runs tests for dependencies
+ - when a non-else clause follows an else-clause in `cond',
+ `case' or `select' a warning (note) is shown in verbose
+ mode
+ - removed the deprecated `define-extension' and
+ `define-compiled-syntax'
+ - `chicken-uninstall' now always asks before removing
+ extensions, unless `-force' is given
+ - improved performance of keyword-argument processing slightly
-- added `fxeven?' and `fxodd?'
+ - `export' outside of a module definition has no effect
+ - `number->string' now accepts arbitrary bases between 2 and 16
+ (thanks to Christian Kellermann)
+ - fixed `standard-extension' in `setup-api' module
+ - literal constants keep their identity, even when inlined
-
-4.4.4
-
+ - Unit library: added `fxodd?' and `fxeven?'
+ - All hardcoded special forms have been replaced with
+ syntax definitions that expand into internal forms, this
+ allows redefinition and shadowing of all Scheme core forms
+ - faster implementations of `get' and `put!'
+ - faster implementation of `assq' in unsafe mode
+ - the `-sx' option prefixes each output line with `;'
+ - slightly better expansion performance
+ - more documentation of the C API (thanks to Peter Bex)
+ - `module' supports a shorthand form that refers directly
+ to a file to be included as the module body
+ - added runtime option `-:G' to force GUI mode (on platforms
+ that distinguish between GUI and non-GUI applications)
-
-
-4.4.3
-
+ - removed the unsafe runtime library (`libuchicken'), this
+ simplifies and speeds up the build and reduces the risk
+ of executables loading library units from different
+ variants of the runtime system
+ - removed the `-unsafe-libraries' option from `chicken'
+ and `csc'
-
-4.4.2
-
+ - removed bootstrapping target and bootstrapping files from
+ development repository; to bootstrap the system, either
+ use a release or development-snapshot tarball or fetch
+ a statically linked precompiled `chicken' binary from
+ http://chicken.wiki.br/chicken-projects/bootstrap/
+ - Jim Ursetto provided some fixes for building universal
+ binaries on Mac OS X
+ - `csc' now compiles and links Windows resource (.rc) files
+ when given on the command line
+ - `chicken-install' and `chicken-uninstall' have an embedded
+ manifest that suppresses the elevation dialog on Windows
+ Vista and later when UAC is activated (Thanks to Thomas Chust)
+ - the `install' program is not used in the build on mingw
+ and mingw/MSYS platforms, since this is broken on older
+ mingw versions
+ - line-number-information is now properly handled (in the
+ few places where it is used) correctly for included files;
+ the source file is given in trace-output in addition to
+ the line number
+ - removed compiler warning for shared objects compiled in
+ unsafe mode
+ - unboxing is now only done in unsafe mode
+ - in unsafe mode, pointer-accessors from the `lolevel' unit
+ are now handled intrinsically by the compiler
+ - `chicken-install' accepts now relative pathnames for the
+ `-prefix' option
+ - `define-record-type' now optionally allows using SRFI-17
+ setters as record-field modifiers
+ - `integer?' returns `#f' for NaN and infinite numbers
+ - `csc' now has an `-no-elevation' option for embedding a
+ manifest that prevents the elevation dialog on Windows
+ Vista and later when IAC is activated
+ - the `,d' csi command displays qualified symbols properly
+ - symbols starting with the `#\#' character trigger an
+ error when encountered by the reader
+ - Unit posix: `glob->regexp' now always returns a regular
+ expression object or optionally an SRE
+ - Unit posix: `terminal-port?' and `terminal-size' have been
+ implemented for Windows, the latter always returns `0 0',
+ though (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
+ - Unit regex: `regexp' now accepts a regular expression
+ object as argument
+ - Unit regex: removed `glob?'
-
-Special thanks to Mark Carter for patient and thorough
-testing of the Cygwin and mingw builds.
-
-4.4.1
-
+ - fixed bug in `chicken-install'/`chicken-uninstall' and
+ `chicken-status' that prevented collapsed command-line
+ options to be handled correctly.
+ - disabled runpath-fix for deployed applications for netbsd
+ (but resurrected providing a runpath at all, thanks to
+ Peter Bex)
+ - Peter Bex provided documentation for the `C_closure' C API
+ function
+
4.4.0
- the system can now be built with llvm-gcc and/or "clang" (the
