Release notes for version 0.55 This is mostly a bug-fix release. Additions The inspector is more efficient in dealing with large vectors, long lists, and circular lists. Bug fixes Added an error handler to command-levels.scm to avoid a bad interaction between ,break-on-warnings and the handler-raised undefined-variables warning. Fixed endless recursion occuring when loading floatnums after creating inexact rationals. Made ,reset throw away the old value stack and thus take you out of inspect mode if you happen to be there. build/filenames.scm now loads the interface files so we no longer get the plethora of undefined variable warnings. The flat-environment optimizer is now idempotent. Fixed a problem with single-argument receivers as in (call-with-values ... (lambda (x) ...)) Minor edits to the documentation. Fixed a problem that occured when (optimize auto-integrate) was used in the presence of definition-producing macros. Added the os-{...-}name functions to the POSIX interface. Changes to the socket code to work around an oddity in FreeBSD. The socket code uses socklen_t instead of int in the appropriate places. The configure script defines socklen_t if necessary. (Thanks to Martin Gasbichler for this patch). Changes Replaced all uses of FLUID-SET! with fluids bound to cells. Renamed write-one-line (which did nothing of the sort) to limit-output; the old name is still there for compatibility. Added vertical tab (ascii->char 11) to ascii-whitespaces to make our definition of whitespace the same as POSIX's. The procedures that were in the records and records-internal structures are now in three structures: records has the low-level, vector-like, primitives, record-types has everything relating to the type records themselves, and records-internal has the leftovers. Replaced many of the uses of structure-ref with (modify ... (subset ...)) clauses in structure definitions. Release notes for version 0.54. Jump to top of page.
