** New module (ice-9 rdelim).
This module requires SLIB to be installed and available from Guile.
+** New module (ice-9 buffered-input)
+
+This module provides procedures to construct an input port from an
+underlying source of input that reads and returns its input in chunks.
+The underlying input source is a Scheme procedure, specified by the
+caller, which the port invokes whenever it needs more input.
+
+This is useful when building an input port whose back end is Readline
+or a UI element such as the GtkEntry widget.
+
+** Documentation
+
+The reference and tutorial documentation that was previously
+distributed separately, as `guile-doc', is now included in the core
+Guile distribution. The documentation consists of the following
+manuals.
+
+- The Guile Tutorial (guile-tut.texi) contains a tutorial introduction
+ to using Guile.
+
+- The Guile Reference Manual (guile.texi) contains (or is intended to
+ contain) reference documentation on all aspects of Guile.
+
+- The GOOPS Manual (goops.texi) contains both tutorial-style and
+ reference documentation for using GOOPS, Guile's Object Oriented
+ Programming System.
+
+- The Revised^4 and Revised^5 Reports on the Algorithmic Language
+ Scheme (r4rs.texi and r5rs.texi).
+
+See the README file in the `doc' directory for more details.

* Changes to the stand-alone interpreter
** Evaluation of "()", the empty list, is now an error.
** Escape procedures created by call-with-current-continuation now
accept any number of arguments, as required by R5RS.
+** New function `call-with-deprecation'
+
+Call a thunk, displaying a deprecation message at the first call:
+
+ (define (id x)
+ (call-with-deprecation "`id' is deprecated. Use `identity' instead."
+ (lambda ()
+ (identity x))))
+
+ guile> (id 1)
+ ;; `id' is deprecated. Use `identity' instead.

** New function `make-object-property'
This function returns a new `procedure with setter' P that can be used
on.
** New function: mkstemp! tmpl
+
mkstemp creates a new unique file in the file system and returns a
new buffered port open for reading and writing to the file. TMPL
is a string specifying where the file should be created: it must
** New function: open-input-string string
Return an input string port which delivers the characters from
-`string'. This procedure, together with `open-input-string' and
+`string'. This procedure, together with `open-output-string' and
`get-output-string' implements SRFI-6.
** New function: open-output-string
Return the contents of an output string port.
-** Deprecated: close-all-ports-except. This was intended for closing
-ports in a child process after a fork, but it has the undesirable side
-effect of flushing buffers. port-for-each is more flexible.
