Changes since the stable branch:
* Changes to the distribution
-** There are two new thread implementation options: "null" and
- "coop-pthreads".
+** Guile now requires GNU MP (http://swox.com/gmp).
+
+Guile now uses the GNU MP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic.
+At the moment it is being used to handle Guile's bignums.
+
+** Guile now has separate private and public configuration headers.
+
+Guile now has config.h and libguile/scmconfig.h. The former is not
+installed and is private. The latter is installed and used by Guile's
+public headers. config.h is generated by configure and autoheader,
+and scmconfig.h is generated by a small C program, gen-scmconfig at
+build time based in part on the contents of config.h.
+
+Seen libguile/__scm.h and gen-scmconfig.c for more information.
+
+Note too that nearly all public defines are now set to either 1 or 0
+rather than being set to 1 or left undefined. See gen-scmconfig.c and
+the GNU Coding Guidelines for the rationale. However, pre-existing
+defines that were not renamed were not changed. i.e. GUILE_DEBUG is
+still either 1 or undefined.
+
+** The INSTALL file is now the generic automake installed one.
+
+Guile specific instructions can be found in the README.
+
+** Guile now provides and uses an "effective" version number.
+
+Guile now provides scm_effective_version and effective-version
+functions which return the "effective" version number. This is just
+the normal full version string without the final micro-version number,
+so the current effective-version is "1.6". The effective version
+should remain unchanged during a stable series, and should be used for
+items like the versioned share directory name
+i.e. /usr/share/guile/1.6.
+
+Providing an unchanging version number during a stable release for
+things like the versioned share directory can be particularly
+important for Guile "add-on" packages, since it provides a directory
+that they can install to that won't be changed out from under them
+with each micro release during a stable series.
+
+** There are two new thread implementation options: "null" and "coop-pthreads".
When you configure "--with-threads=null", you will get the usual
threading API (call-with-new-thread, make-mutex, etc), but you can't
is always present, although you might not be able to create new
threads.
-When "coop" threading is not supported on your platform, you will get
-the "null" threads instead.
-
The "coop-pthread" (or shorter: "copt") thread implementation will use
portable POSIX threads but will restrict them so that only one thread
can execute 'in Guile' at any one time. This option will give you the
-same basic behavior as the "coop" option, but hopefully in a more
+same basic behavior as the old "coop" option, but hopefully in a more
portable way.
+The default is now "coop-pthread", unless your platform doesn't have
+pthreads, in which case "null" threads are used.
+
** Guile now includes its own version of libltdl.
We now use a modified version of libltdl that allows us to make
* Changes to Scheme functions and syntax
-** Mutexes are now recursive.
+** 'call-with-current-continuation' is now also available under the name
+ 'call/cc'.
+
+** Checking for duplicate bindings in module system
+
+The module system now can check for name conflicts among imported
+bindings.
+
+The behavior can be controlled by specifying one or more duplicates
+handlers. For example, to make Guile return an error for every name
+collision, write:
+
+(define-module (foo)
+ :use-module (bar)
+ :use-module (baz)
+ :duplicates check)
+
+The new default behavior of the module system when a name collision
+has been detected is to
+
+ 1. Give priority to bindings marked as a replacement.
+ 2. Issue a warning (different warning if overriding core binding).
+ 3. Give priority to the last encountered binding (this corresponds to
+ the old behavior).
+
+If you want the old behavior back without replacements or warnings you
+can add the line:
+
+ (default-duplicate-binding-handler 'last)
+
+to your .guile init file.
+
+The syntax for the :duplicates option is:
+
+ :duplicates HANDLER-NAME | (HANDLER1-NAME HANDLER2-NAME ...)
+
+Specifying multiple handlers is useful since some handlers (such as
+replace) can defer conflict resolution to others. Each handler is
+tried until a binding is selected.
+
+Currently available duplicates handlers are:
+
+ check report an error for bindings with a common name
+ warn issue a warning for bindings with a common name
+ replace replace bindings which have an imported replacement
+ warn-override-core issue a warning for imports which override core bindings
+ and accept the override
+ first select the first encountered binding (override)
+ last select the last encountered binding (override)
+
+These two are provided by the (oop goops) module:
+
+ merge-generics merge generic functions with a common name
+ into an <extended-generic>
+ merge-accessors merge accessors with a common name
+
+The default duplicates handler is:
+
+ (replace warn-override-core warn last)
+
+A recommended handler (which is likely to correspond to future Guile
+behavior) can be installed with:
+
+ (default-duplicate-binding-handler '(replace warn-override-core check))
+
+** New define-module option: :replace
+
+:replace works as :export, but, in addition, marks the binding as a
+replacement.
+
+A typical example is `format' in (ice-9 format) which is a replacement
+for the core binding `format'.
+
+** Adding prefixes to imported bindings in the module system
+
+There is now a new :use-module option :prefix. It can be used to add
+a prefix to all imported bindings.
+
+ (define-module (foo)
+ :use-module ((bar) :prefix bar:))
+
+will import all bindings exported from bar, but rename them by adding
+the prefix `bar:'.
+
+** Merging generic functions
+
+It is sometimes tempting to use GOOPS accessors with short names.
+For example, it is tempting to use the name `x' for the x-coordinate
+in vector packages.
+
+Assume that we work with a graphical package which needs to use two
+independent vector packages for 2D and 3D vectors respectively. If
+both packages export `x' we will encounter a name collision.
+
+This can now be resolved automagically with the duplicates handler
+`merge-generics' which gives the module system license to merge all
+generic functions sharing a common name:
+
+(define-module (math 2D-vectors)
+ :use-module (oop goops)
+ :export (x y ...))
+
+(define-module (math 3D-vectors)
+ :use-module (oop goops)
+ :export (x y z ...))
+
+(define-module (my-module)
+ :use-module (math 2D-vectors)
+ :use-module (math 3D-vectors)
+ :duplicates merge-generics)
+
+x in (my-module) will now share methods with x in both imported
+modules.
+
+There will, in fact, now be three distinct generic functions named
+`x': x in (2D-vectors), x in (3D-vectors), and x in (my-module). The
+last function will be an <extended-generic>, extending the previous
+two functions.
+
+Let's call the imported generic functions the "ancestor functions". x
+in (my-module) is, in turn, a "descendant function" of the imported
+functions, extending its ancestors.
+
+For any generic function G, the applicable methods are selected from
+the union of the methods of the descendant functions, the methods of G
+itself and the methods of the ancestor functions.
+
+This, ancestor functions share methods with their descendants and vice
+versa. This implies that x in (math 2D-vectors) can will share the
+methods of x in (my-module) and vice versa, while x in (math 2D-vectors)
+doesn't share the methods of x in (math 3D-vectors), thus preserving
+modularity.
+
+Sharing is dynamic, so that adding new methods to a descendant implies
+adding it to the ancestor.
+
+If duplicates checking is desired in the above example, the following
+form of the :duplicates option can be used instead:
+
+ :duplicates (merge-generics check)
+
+** New function: effective-version
+
+Returns the "effective" version number. This is just the normal full
+version string without the final micro-version number. See "Changes
+to the distribution" above.
+
+** Futures
+
+Futures is a way of providing an alternative evaluation policy, very
+similar in principle to "promises". Like promises, futures allow the
+main process to continue instantly, but while promises postpone
+evaluation ("lazy" evaluation) until the value is requested, futures
+immediately starts evaluation in a parallel thread.
+
+Futures are good when you want to express that "I'll need the value of
+this computation sometime soon" and want to allow processing to go on
+in the background until that time arrives.
+
+** New syntax: future FORM
+
+Begin evaluation of FORM in a parallel thread and return the future
+immediately. (Akin to 'delay'.)
+
+** New procedure: future-ref FUTURE
+
+Return the computed value of the future. Wait if the computation is
+not finished. (Akin to 'force'.)
+
+** New syntax: parallel FORM ...
+
+Compute the results of FORM ... in parallel (in a separate thread for
+each form) and return them as multiple values.
+
+** New syntax: letpar ((VAR EXP) ...) BODYFORM ...
+
+Like 'let' but evaluates the binding expressions EXP ... in parallel.
+
+** New functions: par-map, par-for-each PROC ARGLIST ...
+
+Like 'map' and 'for-each' but evaluate the procedure PROC in a
+separate thread for each (set of) argument(s). All applications are
+guaranteed to be completed before the procedure returns.
+
+** New functions: n-par-map, n-par-for-each N PROC ARGLIST ...
+
+Like 'par-map' and 'par-for-each' but evaluate the procedure PROC in N
+threads. This is useful when PROC uses large amounts of resources
+and/or the argument list(s) is/are long so that one thread per (set
+of) argument(s) would consume too much system resources. On a
+dual-CPU system, N = 4 would often be a good choice.
+
+** Fair mutexes and condition variables
+
+Fair mutexes and condition variables have been added. The fairness
+means that scheduling is arranged to give as equal time shares as
+possible and that threads are awakened in a first-in-first-out
+manner. This is not guaranteed with standard mutexes and condition
+variables.
-Locking a mutex that you have already locked will now succeed. Every
-call to lock-mutex must be matched with a call to unlock-mutex. Only
-the last call to unlock-mutex will actually unlock the mutex.
+In addition, fair mutexes are recursive. Locking a fair mutex that
+you have already locked will succeed. Every call to lock-mutex must
+be matched with a call to unlock-mutex. Only the last call to
+unlock-mutex will actually unlock the mutex.
+
+A fair condition variable must be used together with a fair mutex,
+just as a standard condition variable must be used together with a
+standard mutex.
+
+** New functions: make-fair-mutex, make-fair-condition-variable'
+
+Make a new fair mutex and a new fair condition variable respectively.
** New function 'try-mutex'.
This function will attempt to lock a mutex but will return immediately
-instead if blocking, indicating failure.
+instead if blocking and indicate failure.
** Waiting on a condition variable can have a timeout.
Guile now has breakpoints. For details see the `Debugging Features'
chapter in the reference manual.
+** Deprecated: undefine
+
+There is no replacement for undefine.
+
* Changes to the C interface
+** Many public #defines with generic names have been made private.
+
+#defines with generic names like HAVE_FOO or SIZEOF_FOO have been made
+private or renamed with a more suitable public name. See below for
+the ones which have been renamed.
+
+** HAVE_STDINT_H and HAVE_INTTYPES_H have been removed from public use.
+
+HAVE_STDINT_H and HAVE_INTTYPES_H removed from public use. These are
+no longer needed since the older uses of stdint.h and inttypes.h are
+now handled by configure.in and gen-scmconfig.c.
+
+** USE_DLL_IMPORT is no longer defined publically.
+
+gen-scmconfig now uses it to decide what contents to place in the
+public scmconfig.h header without adding the USE_DLL_IMPORT itself.
+
+** HAVE_LIMITS_H has been removed from public use.
+
+gen-scmconfig now just uses HAVE_LIMITS_H to decide whether or not to
+add a limits.h include in scmconfig.h.
+
+** time.h, sys/time.h, etc. #ifdefery has been removed from public headers.
+
+gen-scmconfig now just uses the same logic to decide what time related
+#includes to add to scmconfig.h.
+
+** HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC has been removed from public use.
+
+scmconfig.h now just defines scm_t_timespec.
+
+** HAVE_PTRDIFF has been removed from public use and Guile doesn't
+ define ptrdiff_t.
+
+Guile now publically defines scm_t_ptrdiff and
+SCM_SIZEOF_SCM_T_PTRDIFF in scmconfig.h, and all occurrences of
+ptrdiff_t have been replaced with scm_t_ptrdiff.
+
+Guile defines its own type this rather than just relying on ptrdiff_t
+and SCM_SIZEOF_PTRDIFF_T because Guile actually typedefs long to
+scm_t_ptrdiff when ptrdiff_t isn't available. A public "typedef long
+ptrdiff_t" could conflict with other headers.
+
+** HAVE_UINTPTR_T and HAVE_UINTPTR_T have been removed from public use.
+
+They are replaced by public definitions of SCM_SIZEOF_UINTPTR_T and
+SCM_SIZEOF_INTPTR_T. These are defined to 0 if the corresponding type
+is not available.
+
+** The public #define STDC_HEADERS has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_STDC_HEADERS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_SYS_SELECT has been renamed to
+ SCM_HAVE_SYS_SELECT_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_FLOATINGPOINT_H has been renamed to
+ SCM_HAVE_FLOATINGPOINT_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_IEEEFP_H has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_IEEEFP_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_NAN_H has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_NAN_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_WINSOCK2_H has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_WINSOCK2_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_ARRAYS has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_ARRAYS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define STACK_GROWS_UP has been renamed to SCM_STACK_GROWS_UP.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define USE_PTHREAD_THREADS has been renamed to
+ SCM_USE_PTHREAD_THREADS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define USE_NULL_THREADS has been renamed to
+ SCM_USE_NULL_THREADS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define USE_COOP_THREADS has been renamed to
+ SCM_USE_COOP_THREADS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** SCM_C_INLINE is publically defined if possible.
+
+If the platform has a way to define inline functions, SCM_C_INLINE
+will be defined to that text. Otherwise it will be undefined. This
+is a little bit different than autoconf's normal handling of the
+inline define via AC_C_INLINE.
+
+** Guile now publically defines some basic type infrastructure.
+
+Guile always defines
+
+ SCM_SIZEOF_CHAR
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_CHAR
+ SCM_SIZEOF_SHORT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_SHORT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_LONG
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG
+ SCM_SIZEOF_INT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_INT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_LONG_LONG /* defined to 0 if type not available */
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG /* defined to 0 if type not available */
+
+ scm_t_int8
+ scm_t_uint8
+ scm_t_int16
+ scm_t_uint16
+ scm_t_int32
+ scm_t_uint32
+
+Guile always defines
+
+ SCM_HAVE_T_INT64
+ SCM_HAVE_T_UINT64
+
+and when either of these are defined to 1, optionally defines
+
+ scm_t_int64
+ scm_t_uint64
+
+respectively.
+
+Guile always defines
+
+ scm_t_timespec
+
+** The preprocessor define USE_THREADS has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the thread API is always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define GUILE_ISELECT has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that scm_internal_select is always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define READER_EXTENSIONS has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the features represented by
+READER_EXTENSIONS are always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define DEBUG_EXTENSIONS has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the features represented by
+DEBUG_EXTENSIONS are always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define DYNAMIC_LINKING has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the features represented by
+DYNAMIC_LINKING are always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define STACK_DIRECTION has been deprecated.
+
+There should be no need to know about the stack direction for ordinary
+programs. (Do not use.)
+
+** New function: scm_effective_version
+
+Returns the "effective" version number. This is just the normal full
+version string without the final micro-version number. See "Changes
+to the distribution" above.
+
+** The function scm_call_with_new_thread has a new prototype.
+
+Instead of taking a list with the thunk and handler, these two
+arguments are now passed directly:
+
+ SCM scm_call_with_new_thread (SCM thunk, SCM handler);
+
+This is an incompatible change.
+
** The value 'scm_mask_ints' is no longer writable.
Previously, you could set scm_mask_ints directly. This is no longer
Full number of arguments checking of closures is mandatory now. However, the
option to disable the checking has most probably not been used anyway.

+** Deprecated configure flags USE_THREADS and GUILE_ISELECT
+
+Previously, when the C preprocessor macro USE_THREADS was defined,
+libguile included a thread API. This API is now always included, even
+when threads are not really supported. Thus, you don't need to test
+for USE_THREADS.
+
+Analogously, GUILE_ISELECT was defined when the function
+scm_internal_select was provided by Guile. This function is now
+always defined, and GUILE_ISELECT with it.

Changes since Guile 1.4:
scm_dblproc, SCM_UNEGFIXABLE, SCM_FLOBUFLEN, SCM_INEXP, SCM_CPLXP, SCM_REAL,
SCM_IMAG, SCM_REALPART, scm_makdbl, SCM_SINGP, SCM_NUM2DBL, SCM_NO_BIGDIG
-Further, it is recommended not to rely on implementation details for guile's
-current implementation of bignums. It is planned to replace this
-implementation with gmp in the future.

** Port internals: the rw_random variable in the scm_port structure
must be set to non-zero in any random access port. In recent Guile
releases it was only set for bidirectional random-access ports.
