Changes in 1.8.5 (since 1.8.4)
+* Infrastructure changes
+
+** Guile repository switched from CVS to Git
+
+The new repository can be accessed using
+"git-clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guile.git", or can be browsed on-line at
+http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git . See `README' for details.
+
+* New features (see the manual for details)
+
+** New `postfix' read option, for SRFI-88 keyword syntax
+** Some I/O primitives have been inlined, which improves I/O performance
+
* Bugs fixed
** `scm_add_slot ()' no longer segfaults (fixes bug #22369)
Previously, expressions like `(match '((foo) (bar)) (((_ ...) ...) #t))'
would trigger an unbound variable error for `match:andmap'.
+** `(oop goops describe)' now properly provides the `describe' feature
+** Fixed `args-fold' from `(srfi srfi-37)'
+
+Previously, parsing short option names of argument-less options would
+lead to a stack overflow.
+
** Fixed type-checking for the second argument of `eval'
+** Fixed `struct-ref' and `struct-set!' on "light structs"
+** Honor struct field access rights in GOOPS
+** Changed the storage strategy of source properties, which fixes a deadlock
+** Allow compilation of Guile-using programs in C99 mode with GCC 4.3 and later
** Fixed build issue for GNU/Linux on IA64
** Fixed build issues on NetBSD 1.6
** Fixed build issue on Solaris 2.10 x86_64
** Fixed build issue with DEC/Compaq/HP's compiler
** Fixed `scm_from_complex_double' build issue on FreeBSD
** Fixed `alloca' build issue on FreeBSD 6
+** Fixed shadowing of libc's <random.h> on Tru64, which broke compilation
+** Make sure all tests honor `$TMPDIR'
