system should be called Godot: "This is the one you've been waiting
for."
-=== Eventually:
-
-* Deprecate `read-only-string?'.
-
-After signal handling and threading have been fixed:
-- remove the code corresponding to GUILE_OLD_ASYNC_CLICK and the corresponding
- GUILE_OLD_ASYNC_CLICK macro.
-
-=== In release 1.6.0:
-
-- Make sure that the deprecation mechanism explained in INSTALL and
- README is completed and works.
-
-=== In release 1.8.0:
-
-- remove deprecated subr and gsubr functions
- in procs.h, procs.c: scm_make_subr, scm_make_subr_opt,
- scm_make_subr_with_generic,
- in gsubr.h, gsubr.c: scm_make_gsubr, scm_make_gsubr_with_generic.
-
-- remove deprecated C interface to modules
- in modules.h, modules.c:

- scm_load_scheme_module
-
-- remove vcell and obarray support.
- Remove all code bracketed by `#if SCM_ENABLE_VCELLS'.
- Remove SCM_ENABLE_VCELLS itself.
- Also remove `variable-set-name-hint' completely.
-
-- remove compatability module (ice-9 and-let*). It
- has been replaced by (ice-9 and-let-star) and/or (srfi srfi-2).
-
-- remove support for autoloading compiled-code modules:
- try-module-linked
- try-module-dynamic-link
- init-dynamic-module
- scm_register_module_xxx
- etc.
-- remove deprecated variables:

- flags
-- remove deprecated macros: SCM_OUTOFRANGE, SCM_NALLOC, SCM_HUP_SIGNAL,
- SCM_INT_SIGNAL, SCM_FPE_SIGNAL, SCM_BUS_SIGNAL, SCM_SEGV_SIGNAL,

-- remove scm_vector_set_length_x
-- remove function scm_call_catching_errors
- (replaced by catch functions from throw.[ch])
-- remove support for "#&" reader syntax in (ice-9 optargs).
-- remove scm_make_shared_substring
-- remove scm_read_only_string_p
-- remove scm_strhash
-- remove scm_tc7_ssymbol
-- remove scm_tc7_msymbol
-- remove scm_tcs_symbols
-- remove scm_sloppy_memq, scm_sloppy_memv, scm_sloppy_member
-- consider removing the automatic loading of (ice-9 rdelim) when guile
- starts up. This would be a brave move, since a lot of code will
- assume that read-line is available by default. However it would make
- it easier to use alternative implementations of this module, e.g., a
- strictly scsh-compatible version which uses multiple values. For
- interactive use it would be easy to load the module in ~/.guile.
-- remove scm_close_all_ports_except
-- remove scm_strprint_obj
-- remove SCM_CONST_LONG
-- remove scm_wta
-- remove deprecated typedefs: long_long, ulong_long, scm_sizet
-- remove deprecated macros: scm_contregs, scm_port_rw_active,
- scm_port, scm_ptob_descriptor, scm_debug_info, scm_debug_frame,
- scm_fport, SCM_FIXNUM_BIT, scm_option, scm_subr_entry, scm_rstate,
- scm_rng, scm_i_rstate, scm_srcprops, scm_srcprops_chunk,
- scm_info_frame, scm_stack, scm_array, scm_array_dim.
-- remove deprecated functions: scm_mkbig, scm_big2num, scm_adjbig,
- scm_normbig, scm_copybig, scm_2ulong2big, scm_dbl2big, scm_big2dbl.
-
-Modules sort.c and random.c should be factored out into separate
-modules (but still be distributed with guile-core) when we get a new
-module system.

- alpha-dec-osf4.0e
+ alpha-dec-osf4.0e
Julian Satchell <satchell@merry.dra.hmg.gb>:
documented.
+ Check for any [[incomplete]] sections of NEWS.
+ Fact-check INSTALL.
- + Make sure AUTHORS and THANKS are up-to-date.
+ + Make sure AUTHORS and THANKS are up-to-date (see also TODO).
+ + Remove finished items from TODO (those marked w/ "+").
* Make sure the downloading addresses and filenames in README are
current. (But don't bump the version number yet. We do that below.)
* Check that the versions of aclocal, automake, autoconf, and autoheader
in your PATH match those given in HACKING. Note that the `make
dist' process always invokes these tools, even when all the
generated files are up to date.
+ Make specifically sure that the files in libltdl are generated using
+ the same tools as the rest.
* Rebuild all generated files in the source tree:
+ Install the .m4 files where aclocal will find them.
+ Run aclocal.
Punting checklist:
* Add "Guile N.M released." entry to the top-level ChangeLog, and commit it.
-* Tag the entire source tree with a tag of the form "release_N_M"
+* Tag the entire source tree with a tag of the form "release_N_M"
or "release_N_M_L".
* Do a 'make dist'.
* Put the distribution up for FTP somewhere, and send mail to
