the latter returns the true name of the keyword, not the 'dash name',
as SCM_KEYWORDSYM used to do.
+** A new way to access arrays in a thread-safe and efficient way has
+ been added.
+
+See the manual, node "Accessing Arrays From C".
+
** The old uniform vector and bitvector implementations have been
unceremoniously removed.
SCM_SET_VECTOR_BASE, SCM_MAKE_VECTOR_TAG, SCM_SET_VECTOR_LENGTH,
SCM_VELTS_AS_STACKITEMS, SCM_SETVELTS, SCM_GC_WRITABLE_VELTS.
+** Some C functions related to arrays have been deprecated.
+
+Migrate according to the following table:
+
+ scm_make_uve -> scm_make_typed_aray, scm_make_u8vector etc.
+ scm_make_ra -> scm_make_array
+ scm_shap2ra -> scm_make_array
+ scm_cvref -> scm_c_generalized_vector_ref
+ scm_ra_set_contp -> do not use
+ scm_aind -> scm_array_handle_pos
+ scm_raprin1 -> scm_display or scm_write
+
** SCM_CELL_WORD_LOC has been deprecated.
Use the new macro SCM_CELL_OBJECT_LOC instead, which returns a pointer

+
+ * ramap.c: Replace uses of scm_make_ra with scm_i_make_ra.
+ (GVREF, GVSET): New abbreviations. Use them everywhere instead of
+ scm_c_generalized_vector_ref and scm_cvref, and
+ scm_c_generalized_vector_set_x, respectively.
+ (RVREF, IVDEP, BINARY_ELTS_CODE, BINARY_PAIR_ELTS_CODE,
+ UNARY_ELTS_CODE, UNARY_PAIR_ELTS_CODE): Removed since unused.
+
+ * unif.h, unif.c (indices_to_pos, scm_array_handle_pos): Renamed
+ former to latter and made public. Changed all uses.
+ (scm_i_make_ra): Made public, changed tag param to enclosed flag.
+ (scm_make_ra): Deprecated, changed all uses to scm_i_make_ra.
+ (scm_i_shap2ra): New internal version of scm_shap2ra.
+ (scm_shap2ra): Deprecated, changed all uses to scm_i_shap2ra.
+ (scm_i_ra_set_contp): New internal version of scm_ra_set_contp.
+ (scm_ra_set_contp): Deprecated, changed all uses to
+ scm_i_ra_set_contp.
+ (scm_cvref, scm_aind, scm_raprin1): Deprecated.
