Many bugs have been -fixed; and support for several implementations (especially Guile, -Scheme48) has been significantly improved. New in slib3a2: - - peanosfc.scm: Peano space filling curve. - - logical.scm: (logand, logior, logxor): Take one or more arguments. - Refactored to match SRFI-60. - - All uses of CREATE-ARRAY replaced by MAKE-ARRAY (SRFI-63). - All uses of ARRAY-SHAPE replaced with ARRAY-DIMENSIONS (SRFI-63). - - * subarray.scm (subarray, array-trim): Rewrote for all arrays being - 0-based. - - * arraymap.scm (array-map!, array-for-each, array-index-map!): - Use of ARRAY-DIMENSIONS replaces use of ARRAY-SHAPE. - (make-shared-array): converted. - - * array.scm: Made compatible with SRFI-63. - (equal?): Replaces array=?. - - pnm.scm: Finished implementation; handles 16-bit color. - - * colorspc.scm (read-normalized-illuminant, illuminant-map) - (illuminant-map->XYZ): Added. - (wavelength->CIEXYZ, XYZ:normalize, XYZ:normalize-colors) - (temperature->CIEXYZ, spectrum->CIEXYZ, wavelength->CIEXYZ): - Removed; use chromaticity functions instead. - (read-cie-illuminant): Added. - - * ciesia.dat: Added CIE Standard Illuminant A relative spectral - power distribution 300 nm - 830 nm at 5 nm intervals. - - * ciesid65.dat: Added CIE Standard Illuminant D65 relative - spectral power distribution 300 nm - 830 nm at 5 nm intervals. - - * daylight.scm (sunlight-chromaticity): Replaces sunlight-CIEXYZ. - - * solid.scm (scene:sun, scene:overcast): Use chromaticity to - normalize XYZ values. - (solid:polyline): Added. - (solid:cylinder): Negative radius for invisible side. +SLIB is a portable Scheme library providing compatibiliy and utility +functions for all standard Scheme implementations. - * format.scm: Made reentrant; restored.
