-This version is guaranteed to contain serious bugs, and the publically
-visible interfaces will almost certainly change before 1.8 is
-released. The 1.7 releases might be termed "selected snapshots".
+We already know about some issues with 1.8.0, please check the mailing
+lists:
-Specifically, libguile has not yet been reviewed for thread-safeness.
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/mail/mail.html
-We are releasing it anyway to start testing the new features, and to
-get feedback about how well Guile actually behaves in a multi-threaded
-setting.
+The NEWS file is quite long. Here are the most interesting entries:
-The shared library major versions have been bumped compared to the 1.6
-series, but they will not be bumped on binary incompatible changes
-within the 1.7 series.
+ Changes since 1.6:
+ * Guile is now licensed with the GNU Lesser General Public License.
-The NEWS file is quite long. Here are the most interesting entries:
+ * The manual is now licensed with the GNU Free Documentation License.
+
+ * We now use GNU MP for bignums.
- Changes since 1.7.1:
+ * We now have exact rationals, such as 1/3.
+
+ * We now use native POSIX threads for real concurrent threads.
* There is a new way to initalize Guile that allows one to use Guile
from threads that have not been created by Guile.
* The low-level thread API has been removed.
+ * There is now support for copy-on-write substrings and
+ mutation-sharing substrings.
+
+ * A new family of functions for converting between C values and
+ Scheme values has been added that is future-proof and thread-safe.
+
+ * The INUM macros like SCM_MAKINUM have been deprecated.
+
+ * The macros SCM_STRINGP, SCM_STRING_CHARS, SCM_STRING_LENGTH,
+ SCM_SYMBOL_CHARS, and SCM_SYMBOL_LENGTH have been deprecated.
+
+ * There is a new way to deal with non-local exits and re-entries in
+ C code, which is nicer than scm_internal_dynamic_wind.
+
+ * There are new malloc-like functions that work better than
+ scm_must_malloc, etc.
+
* There is a new way to access all kinds of vectors and arrays from
C that is efficient and thread-safe.
+2006-04-16 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
+
+ * configure.in (stat64, off_t): New tests.
+
+2006-03-31 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
+
+ * configure.in (socklen_t): Enhance test for this type, coping with
+ need for <sys/socket.h> on MacOS X. Reported by Michael Tuexen and
+ Jay Cotton.
+
+2006-03-26 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
+
+ * configure.in: Added check that defines
+ PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSTACK_WORKS when pthread_attr_getstack works for
+ the main thread.
+
+2006-02-26 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
+
+ * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add dirfd.
+
+2006-02-20 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
+
+ Released 1.8.0.
+
+ * GUILE-VERSION: Set version.
+
2006-02-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
* GUILE-VERSION: Bumped versions for 1.9 series.
* configure.in: Removed --enable-arrays option.
+2006-02-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>

+ Branched for 1.8 series.

Installation Names
==================
-By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
-`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
-installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
-option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
+By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under

+can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
+`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
