This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release
slib2a2.
New in release slib2a2 is:
* Template.scm mitscheme.init scheme2c.init t3.init (*features*):
trace added.
* chap.scm ((chap:string<? s1 s2) (chap:next-string s)): Functions
for "chapter ordering" of strings.
* slib.texi (R4RS Macros section): added.
* defmacex.scm ((defmacro:expand* e)): fixed problem with varargs
define.
* randinex.scm ((random:size-float l x)): no longer assumes that
inexact numbers have finite precision, which is not necessarily
true (pointed out by jar@ai.mit.edu). Limits size to 4.
* trace.scm (trace untrace): created.
(debug:tracef debug:untracef): moved from debug.scm
* yasyn.scm: replaces yasos.scm
* comlist.scm ((comlist:has-duplicates? lst)): added.
From: jjb@isye.gatech.edu (John Bartholdi)
* sierpinski.scm (MAKE-SIERPINSKI-INDEXER): added.
* soundex.scm (SOUNDEX): added.
* macscheme.init (slib:exit): fixed. Version set to 4.2.
From: hugh@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz (Hugh Emberson)
* mwexpand.scm ((mw:quasiquote exp env)): Fixed bug which occured
when mw:quasiquote expanded things like `(1 2 3 . ,(+ 1 a)). I
added support for vectors in quasiquotes while I was there.
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, T3.1, and VSCM. SCM also
supports SLIB.
Documentation includes a manifest, installation instructions, and
coding standards for the library. Documentation on each library
package is supplied.
SLIB can be obtained via ftp (detailed instructions follow) from:
