Release notes for version 1.6

  • Additions:
    • An autogen.sh script for generating the various generated files from source was added.
    • Infrastructure for creating, running and composing test suites was added. As a result, "make check" now runs more tests than before.
    • It is now possible for adventurous users to run the linker in PLT Scheme.
  • Changes:
    • make image now assumes a Unicode-capable Scheme 48.
  • Bug fixes:
    • A bug where automatic port-flushing would churn trying to write to a blocking socket was fixed.
    • An infinite loop upon (/ 0.0 0.0) was fixed. (reported by Taylor Campbell)
    • A bug that made system unusable was fixed. (reported by Marco Benelli)
    • A bug with package mutation, which made running the PreScheme compiler on the VM break was fixed.
    • Bugs related to the conversion between OS strings and strings on command-line handling were fixed. (reported by Andreas Rottmann)
    • Compilation using gcc now uses the -munaligned-doubles flag where available, which is needed on SPARCs to make floating-point arithmetic work.
    • Compilation older versions Cygwin that don't have langinfo.h should be fixed.
    • Some problems with installing and running on Windows Vista were fixed. (thanks to Axel T. Schreiner)
