3 | The low-level debugging support is done, and we are now working on the |
4 | user interface. | |

8 | We have a new layout for the reference manual which covers the |
9 | C/Scheme interface, as well as the scheme variants. We also want a | |
10 | more thorough tutorial manual, but we haven't sketched that out yet. | |

17 | * Add a convenient facility for running a pipeline of processes |
18 | with redirections. Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz> | |
19 | is working on this. | |
20 | ||
21 | * Make it possible to link Guile and TK without using libtcl.a, by | |
22 | providing Guile-based replacements for the libtcl.a functions that TK | |
23 | requires. | |
24 | ||
25 | * Make ordinary lambda functions work as callbacks for Tk; | |
26 | eliminate the need for tcl-lambda. | |
27 | ||
28 | * Translators for additional languages; in particular, Perl, Python, | |
29 | TCL, Emacs Lisp, and Rexx. | |
30 | ||
a35cabe8 | 31 | * A package for time conversions and formatting. |

33 | * Make GDB work with Guile | |
34 | ||
35 | This would permit programmable debugging and a nice integrated GUI. | |

40 | * Use the SCM trick of tagging environments with immediates (see m_letrec1) | |
41 | to convert source correctly in unmemocopy. |
