-This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release
-slib2c3.
-
-New in slib2c3 are filename matching (a la Bash glob) and `Schmooz', a
-lightweight markup language for interspersing Texinfo documentation
-with Scheme source code.
-
-	* slib.texi (Filenames): documented pattern strings.
-	* Makefile: Added $srcdir to TEXINPUTS for TeX.
-	* slib.texi (Schmooz): Added documentation.
-	* Makefile (info htmlform.txi): made smarter about when to run
-	schmooz.
-	* slib.texi (Format): documentation moved to fmtdoc.txi.
-	* glob.scm (filename:match?? filename:match-ci??): aliases added.
-	* primes.scm (primes:prngs): added to reduce likelyhood of
-	reentrant random calls.
-	* random.scm: rewritten using new seedable RNG.
-	* randinex.scm (random:uniform): Rewritten for new RNG.
-	* primes.scm (primes:dbsp?): Now requires 'root and uses
-	integer-sqrt for sqrt on platforms not supporting inexacts.
-	* record.scm (rtd-name): Fixed so record rtds print.
-	* cring.scm (*): Number distribution requires separate treatment.
-	* factor.scm (prime:factor): (factor 0) now returns '(0) rather
-	than infinite-looping.
-	* cring.scm (*): Added check for (* -1 (- <expr>)) case.
-	* prec.scm (prec:warn): now takes arbitrary number of arguments.
-	(prec:nofix): 
-	(prec:postfix): extra arguments are appended to the rules list;
-	not bound.
-	* qp.scm (qp:qp): *qp-width* set to #f now the same as *qp-width*
-	set to 0 -- the full expressions are printed.
-	* prec.scm (prec:nofix): Added . binds args, which are combined
-	with *syn-rules*.
-
- From: Radey Shouman  <Radey_Shouman@splashtech.com>
-
-	* glob.scm: Added.
-	* schmooz.scm (schmooz): Added @args markup command.
-	* schmooz.scm (schmooz): Now tries harder to determine whether a
-	definition is of a procedure or non-procedure variable.
-	Recognizes DEFMACRO, DEFINE-SYNTAX.
-	* schmooz.scm (scheme-args->macros): Now passed either a symbol,
-	for variable definition, or a possibly improper list, for
-	function/macro definition.  For the variable definition case
-	generates @var{... for @0 instead of @code{...  Now uses APPEND to
-	be more readable.

-SLIB is a portable scheme library meant to provide compatibiliy and
-utility functions for all standard scheme implementations.
-
-SLIB includes initialization files for Chez, ELK 2.1, GAMBIT,
-MacScheme, MITScheme, scheme->C, Scheme48, SCM, scsh, T3.1, and VSCM.
+This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release slib2c7.
+
+New in slib2c7:
+
+	* charplot.scm (charplot:number->string): printf %g gets rid of
+	microscopic fractions.
+	* printf.scm (%g): Make precision threshold work for both
+	fractions and integers.
+	* nclients.scm (browse-url-netscape): Try running netscape in
+	background.
+	* batch.scm (write-batch-line): Added slib:warn.
+	* paramlst.scm (check-parameters): Improved warning.
+	* batch.scm (batch:command): Renamed from batch:system.
+	(batch:try-command): Renamed from batch:try-system.
+	(batch:try-chopped-command): Added.
+	(batch:apply-chop-to-fit): Removed.
+	* glob.scm (replace-suffix): Now works.
+	* slib.texi: Put description and URL into slib_toc.html.
