-This message announces the availability of Scheme release scm5d6.
-
-New in scm5d6:
-
-From Aubrey Jaffer:
-
- + Tanel Tammet's Hobbit compiler is now integrated into the SCM
- distribution.
-
- + hobbit.scm modified for (symbol) GC changes in SCM. Use of
- scm_gc_protect() instead of lists of protected objects means code
- produced by Hobbit is smaller and more readable.
-
- + Converted the hobbit documentation to texinfo format.

-
-From George Bronnikov:
-
- + Ported SCM to the PLAN9 operating-system.
