** Duplicate bindings among used modules are resolved lazily.
This slightly improves program startup times.
+** New thread cancellation and thread cleanup API
+See `cancel-thread', `set-thread-cleanup!', and `thread-cleanup'.
+
* Changes to the C interface
** Functions for handling `scm_option' now no longer require an argument
* Bugs fixed
** CR (ASCII 0x0d) is (again) recognized as a token delimiter by the reader
+** Fixed a segmentation fault which occurred when displaying the
+backtrace of a stack with a promise object (made by `delay') in it.
+** Make `accept' leave guile mode while blocking
+** `scm_c_read ()' and `scm_c_write ()' now type-check their port argument
+** Fixed a build problem on AIX (use of func_data identifier)
+** Fixed a segmentation fault which occurred when hashx-ref or hashx-set! was
+called with an associator proc that returns neither a pair nor #f.
+** Secondary threads now always return a valid module for (current-module).
+
+* New modules (see the manual for details)
+
+** `(srfi srfi-69)'
+
+* Changes to the distribution
+
+** Corrected a few files that referred incorrectly to the old GPL + special exception licence
+
+In fact Guile since 1.8.0 has been licensed with the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, and the few incorrect files have now been
+fixed to agree with the rest of the Guile distribution.
+
+** Removed unnecessary extra copies of COPYING*
+
+The distribution now contains a single COPYING.LESSER at its top level.
