 Changes in 1.9.3 (since the 1.9.2 prerelease):

+** Files loaded with `load' will now be compiled automatically.
+
+As with files loaded via `primitive-load-path', `load' will also compile
+its target if autocompilation is enabled, and a fresh compiled file is
+not found.
+
+There are two points of difference to note, however. First, `load' does
+not search `GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH' for the file; it only looks in the
+autocompilation directory, normally a subdirectory of ~/.cache/guile.
+
+Secondly, autocompilation also applies to files loaded via the -l
+command-line argument -- so the user may experience a slight slowdown
+the first time they run a Guile script, as the script is autocompiled.
