+scm5e4 news:
-Richard Harke ported SCM to the Linux-ia64.
+* Jerry van Dijk wrote NSIS script to create MS-Windows installers.
-SRFI-94 Type-Restricted Numerical Functions.
+* Added (compiled) byte-number module.
-SRFI-63 uniform array type support expanded to:
+* scm-file-position replaces file-position and file-set-position!;
+ moved from i/o-extensions module to SCM core functionality.

+* Added --no-symbol-case-fold command-line option to make symbol
+ reading case-sensitive.
-Radey Shouman has changed LETREC to behave like LETREC*:
+* Added (R6RS) bitwise-bit-count.
- * eval.c (ceval_1): Change LETREC behavior to that of LETREC*:
- initializers are run in left to right order, and may use
- previously evaluated variables bound in the same contour. This
- change also applies to LETRECs resulting from internal DEFINE.
-
- * eval.c (macroexp1): Add #ifdef to switch case handling line numbers
- in ceval_1 so that they are safely discarded when MEMOIZE_LOCALS is
- not #defined. Perhaps line number generation should be disabled in
- that case.
-
- * scl.c: Changes to allow compilation with MinGW (gnu-win32);
- asinh, acosh, and atanh are not yet supported.
-
-From Aubrey Jaffer:
-
- * indexes.texi (Indexes): Give each index its own node when not in
- info mode. Moved index stuff here so it doesn't break
- texinfo-every-node-update.
-
- * scm.texi (Index): Replaced nodes under Indexes with node Index
- when in info mode; fixes indexing in Emacs 21.4.1.
- Converted to use @copying.
- (Indexes): Reorganized.
- (Data Type Representations): Corrected pattern for specfun and cclo.
-
- * byte.c (subbytes): Added.
- (scm_subbytes_read, scm_subbytes_write): Renamed from substring.
-
- * Makefile (dscm4, dscm5): != is string operator in shell.
- "mv -f" for previous scm, slibcat, and implcat.
-
- * Init5e2.scm (boot-tail): Don't load ScmInit.scm if *script*.
- (string-index, read-line): Defined for login->home-directory, which
- may be called before REQUIRE is defined.
-
- * Makefile (dscm4, dscm5): Added randomize_va_space machinations.
- (dvi, pdf): New tetex-3.0(-20.FC5) broke them -- fixed.
- (SETARCH): Workarounds allow dumping in recent Linux.
-
- * time.c (linux): defined CLKTCK to (sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)).
-
- * repl.c (scm_read_numbered): Don't #ifndef MEMOIZED_LOCALS.
-
- * build.scm (dont-memoize-locals): Added feature.
- (stack-limit): Removed feature.
-
- * scmfig.h (STACK_LIMIT): Always defined.
- (CHECK_STACK): Condition on scm_verbose.
-
- * sys.c (stack_check): Always present.
-
- * Makefile (docs): Added target to make all documentation files;
- then invoke xdvi.
-
- * ugsetjmp.s (_setjump, _longjump): For Ultrix VAX circa 1997.
-
- * subr.c (mkbig, adjbig): Improved overflow message.
-
- * mkimpcat.scm (wbtab, rwb-isam): moved to "Simple associations".
- (add-source): Use 'source form and check file's existence.
-
- * scl.c (scm_magnitude): Extend dynamic range by eliminating
- intermediate expression swell.
- (divide): Use "Smith's formula" to extend dynamic range;
- but makes an insignificant difference when compiled with -O3.
- (atanh, acosh, asinh): define if #ifndef HAVE_ATANH.
-
- * scmfig.h (HAVE_ATANH): Decides whether atanh, asinh, and acosh
- are supported.
-
- * r4rstest.scm (5 2 1): Expose Bigloo tprint redefinition bug.
- (test-bignum): Convert test bignums from strings.
- (have-bignums?): Check bignum arithmetic works.
- (test-inexact): Do complex tests only if non-real numbers are
- supported.
- (test-inexact): Added equal? tests.
- (test-inexact): Test for -0.0 lossage.
- (test-inexact): Check that / and magnitude work for
- very large and very small complex numbers (1e300; 1e-300);
+* Makefile (install*): Added $(DESTDIR) prefix.
