To find out what should go in this file, see "Information For Maintainers of GNU Software" (maintain.texi), the section called "Recording Changes". Aubrey Jaffer: is the author of SCM, the Scheme interpreter upon which Guile is based. Guile started from SCM version 4e1 in November -94 and is still largely composed of the original SCM code. George Carrette: wrote files present in Siod version 2.3, released in December of 1989. Siod was the starting point for SCM. The major innovations taken from Siod are the evaluator's use of the C-stack and being able to garbage collect off the C-stack Radey Shouman: In the subdirectory libguile, wrote: gsubr.c ramap.c unif.c gsubr.h ramap.h unif.h Gary Houston: In the subdirectory libguile, wrote: rw.c In the subdirectory ice-9, wrote: expect.scm networking.scm popen.scm posix.scm rw.scm In the subdirectory doc, changes to: data-rep.texi expect.texi guile-tut.texi posix.texi r5rs.texi scheme-io.texi Many other changes throughout.

A lot of people have contributed to it, but probably not all to the code in gc_os_dep.c: The SPARC specific code was contributed by Mark Weiser (weiser@parc.xerox.com). The Encore Multimax modifications were supplied by Kevin Kenny (kenny@m.cs.uiuc.edu). The adaptation to the RT is largely due to Vernon Lee (scorpion@rice.edu), on machines made available by IBM. Much of the HP specific code and a number of good suggestions for improving the generic code are due to Walter Underwood (wunder@hp-ses.sde.hp.com). Robert Brazile (brazile@diamond.bbn.com) originally supplied the ULTRIX code. Al Dosser (dosser@src.dec.com) and Regis Cridlig (Regis.Cridlig@cl.cam.ac.uk) subsequently provided updates and information on variation between ULTRIX systems. Parag Patel (parag@netcom.com) supplied the A/UX code. Jesper Peterson(jep@mtiame.mtia.oz.au), Michel Schinz, and Martin Tauchmann (martintauchmann@bigfoot.com) supplied the Amiga port. Thomas Funke (thf@zelator.in-berlin.de(?)) and Brian D.Carlstrom (bdc@clark.lcs.mit.edu) supplied the NeXT ports. Douglas Steel (doug@wg.icl.co.uk) provided ICL DRS6000 code. Bill Janssen (janssen@parc.xerox.com) supplied the SunOS dynamic loader specific code. Manuel Serrano (serrano@cornas.inria.fr) supplied linux and Sony News specific code. Al Dosser provided Alpha/OSF/1 code. He and Dave Detlefs(detlefs@src.dec.com) also provided several generic bug fixes. Alistair G. Crooks(agc@uts.amdahl.com) supplied the NetBSD and 386BSD ports. Jeffrey Hsu (hsu@soda.berkeley.edu) provided the FreeBSD port. Brent Benson (brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com) ported the collector to a Motorola 88K processor running CX/UX (Harris NightHawk). Ari Huttunen (Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi) generalized the OS/2 port to nonIBM development environments (a nontrivial task). Patrick Beard (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) provided the initial MacOS port. David Chase, then at Olivetti Research, suggested several improvements. Scott Schwartz (schwartz@groucho.cse.psu.edu) supplied some of the code to save and print call stacks for leak detection on a SPARC. Jesse Hull and John Ellis supplied the C++ interface code. Zhong Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the current typed allocation facility. (His dynamic type inference code hasn't made it into the released version of the collector, yet.) (Blame for misinstallation of these modifications goes to the first author, however.) Keisuke Nishida: [added by ttn; kei, please review] In the top-level directory, changes to: libguile.h In the subdirectory ice-9, wrote: channel.scm history.scm time.scm match.scm In the subdirectory ice-9, changes to: boot-9.scm receive.scm safe-r5rs.scm common-list.scm In the subdirectory emacs, wrote: guile.el guile-scheme.el guile-emacs.scm In the subdirectory libguile, changes to: goops.c vectors.h vectors.c eval.c hashtab.h hashtab.c environments.c smob.h smob.c keywords.c list.c strports.c tag.c Makefile.am guile-snarf.awk.in Many other changes throughout.
